Preset

The preset directory is the preset for the resource pack. Here you can configure the pack.mcmeta and all models/textures and everything else.

Create the preset

You need this folder structure to have a working resource pack. If you have an item with the fallback texture diamond, you need to have a diamond.json.

├── pack.mcmeta └── assets └── minecraft └── models └── item └── diamond.json

The pack.mcmeta needs to have this content:

pack.mcmeta

{
  "pack": {
    "description": "The name of the resource pack",
    "pack_format": 7
  }
}

The diamond.json needs to have the same content as the default texture of minecraft.

To get this done, you need an archive reader like 7-zip or WinRAR.

Then you need to locate to your minecraft client jar which is normally located in %appdata%/.minecraft/versions/VERSION/VERSION.jar (You need to replace the VERSION with the version which you used to connect to the server).

In the jar archive you will find a assets directory. There you need to copy the same file. If you have the diamond fallback texture you need to copy the file in assets/minecraft/models/item/diamond.json.

The model file should be similar to this:

assets/minecraft/models/item/diamond.json

{
  "parent": "minecraft:item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "minecraft:item/diamond"
  }
}

If you have a block fallback texture like a grass block, the model file is in the block subdirectory, for example assets/minecraft/models/block/grass_block.json.
