While I personally think everyone should give the new textures a solid try, I know many people will use resource packs to revert them. As hosting these packs will violate the terms of use, I thought I'd let people know how easy it is to make youself, in the hopes it will prevent some needless rule breaking/sketchy downloads.

I only know the steps for windows, but u/yaycupcake has posted differences for mac users below.

.

  1. If you don't already have one, you will need a program like 7-Zip or winrar

  2. Go to /AppData/Roaming/.minecraft/versions/1.12

  3. Right click 1.12.jar, and click 7-Zip -> open archive (or whatever it is in winrar)

  4. Copy the assets folder to your desktop

  5. Create a file called pack.mcmeta, and use notepad (not MS Word) to put the following text in that file: (If you don't know how to do this step I've replied to this post with more detailed instructions.)

.

{ "pack": { "pack_format": 3, "description": "WHATEVER DESCRIPTION YOU WANT" } } 

. . 6. put the assets folder and pack.mcmeta into a folder or zip file. Name that folder whatever you want your resource pack to be called.

.

You could call it good now, but I recommend improving things a little with the following:

  • delete the stuff you don't need, lest it overwrite a change they make later. I suggest deleting everything except assets/minecraft/textures.

  • add a picture. Call it pack.png, and add it to the same folder as pack.mcmeta (try to keep it to 128×128)

.

Be aware that if an update makes any changes you do like, you need only go in and delete the textures that they changed, because if the game can't find a particular texture in the pack, it will use the (new) default one.
