How to Activate Default HD 256x in Resource Pack Settings

Moving the Pack to the Active List

Once the pack is in your game files, you need to enable it from the vanilla menu:

1. Press Escape and select Options... from the main menu or pause screen.

2. Click on Resource Packs....

3. Locate Default HD 256x in the Available column on the left side.

4. Hover over the pack icon and click the right-pointing arrow to move it to the Selected column on the right.

5.

Confirming Texture Application

After reloading, load into your world or inspect the title screen to verify the changes:

• Check Common Blocks: Examine nearby stone blocks, dirt, or wooden planks. Edges should appear crisp and refined in 256x resolution rather than pixelated 16x vanilla squares.
• Examine the Hotbar: Open your inventory. Standard craftable items and tools should now show high-definition icon details while retaining their classic vanilla colors and silhouettes.

If standard low-resolution textures still appear, reopen the Resource Packs screen and ensure Default HD 256x is placed near the top of the Selected list so other packs do not override it.
