Minecraft Windows 10 Edition - Get All Texture Packs For Free!

I found this out while trying to install the new behaviour packs and all that stuff. This was discovered at 18:06:39 GMT+0300 (GTB Standard Time) (if that is important) so here is a tutorial! If you share this make sure to credit me:

  • Step 1. Take control of the WindowsApps folder in C:/Program Files/ by doing this: Downloading the following registry addition http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3841-take-ownership-add-context-menu-windows-10-a.html and then running the .reg file that came with it, after you have done all of that just right-click on the WindowsApps folder, Take Ownership

  • Step 2. Go to the Microsoft.MinecraftUWP0.1600.5.0_x64_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder and go to the /data/resourcepacks, there you will see the major flaw. They included all the resource pack files with the game. Copy those to a safe location.

  • Step 3. Now navigate to this location using the File Explorer: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang (make sure to replace username with your PC name)

  • Step 4. Now navigate to the resource_packs folder and copy all the resourcepacks to the folder. Now launch Minecraft and it should work!
Troubleshooting

Q: The Take Ownership Registry addition does not work for me!
A: Try doing it manually by using the Security tab in the Properties window

Q: The resource packs aren't working for me!
A: Edit the metadata and remove all UUIDS and other identification stuff then try again, for best results rename the UUID to the name of the texturepack(Thanks to @LiveLatios)

i copied it to the right location, i'm testing and seeing if i can manually port dokucraft and have it show up

EDIT: everything goes in C:\Users\*user*\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\resource_packs\ Right?

I found out that you have to manually edit the metadata and remove all the IDs, like the UUID and whatnot

for best results rename the UUID to the name of the texturepack, so you can easily for it to load into a world. i had to do so with the festive pack

Does not appear to be working anymore. The only resource packs found in data/resource_packs for me is Vanilla, Vanilla_Music, Vanilla_VR, Education and the skinpacks.
Really? Let me check.

Sphax on my iPad all you gotta do is open the mcpack on a iOS android or win ten it will pick it up as a pack and auto open Minecraft


Try this works with my iPad
http://www.mediafire.com/file/u7c0yjmpcpkiwgp/SphaxPureBDCraft.mcpack

We have to use the mcpacks now ..

This method of unlocking all the legit packs doesnt seem to work anymore on iPad (iOS) we are so locked down not even ibackupbot is saving us tried it when i last updated and found it all locked also found out that ibackupbot is a pain to get wrking now on ios 10..
On windows ten or least the creators update I don't see the packs listed x.x
I now use http://mcpedl.com/ on ios and windows ten minecraft edition for my mods/maps/textures etc..

I think they caught on -_-

Also most resource packs for iOS / Android that are in .Zip can be made into a mcpack BUT if not updated to the most recent Minecraft there is a chance of missing item textures.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

True. Well, if anyone managed to save BDCraft before the texture packs were put wherever, i'd be incredibly grateful.

Hey umm are there any updates to this method? Also, does anyone have the Steampunk resource pack saved? I'm hunting it down but I can't find it anywhere. Also, say if I purchased the pack, where would it be downloaded?

It would probably be saved in the folder I mentioned in the post.

I know this is an old topic, but is there any news on a new method or does anyone have the packs? We usually use the Java version, but we recently picked up VR and my son needs to play this overpriced garbage version to use VR.

There was also an Oculus Rift VR mod for Minecraft, but unless you are stuck in 2014 you probably got a Vive and not a Rift

Anyone have some of the packs? I'm mainly looking for one's that were in the older Console versions, including Mario, Mass Effect, Halo, LBP, City and so on, I'll compile a list if needed, I'm trying to get the textures so I can port them into the Java edition, finding them hasn't proven easy and neither has extracting them myself
