What is Texture-Packs.com?
Texture-Packs.com is a Minecraft website covering everything from texture packs and shaders to mods and guides. Started by fans who have been playing since 2013. Today we’re one of the most visited Minecraft community sites in the world, with millions of page views every month and over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube.
The site is free to use, but some pack creators charge for their content, for example through the Minecraft Marketplace or Patreon. We have no influence over that. We cover our running costs through advertising, but we deliberately avoid annoying redirects, download traps, or sketchy links. No paid placements, no sponsored articles.

Who Created Texture-Packs.com?
Like a lot of you, we grew up with Minecraft and spent way too many hours on SkyWars and parkour servers. Finding good texture packs back then was genuinely frustrating. Most sites had a download link and maybe a few bullet points. You never really found out what made a pack special or whether it was worth downloading. On top of that, you had to sit through loads of ads and could barely find the right download link anyway.
Texture-Packs.com was founded in 2020 by Jonathan, who has been playing Minecraft since 2013. In 2015 he uploaded a video on an old YouTube channel showing off a texture pack he liked and it got more views than anything else he’d ever posted. That was enough. In 2016, he started our dedicated YouTube channel just for texture packs, initially covering packs from the German Minecraft community, later expanding to internationally popular ones like Faithful.
That same year, he launched his first website on a free host. Honestly, it wasn’t great. But the idea was always clear: present texture packs properly, with real tests and honest write-ups. In 2020 came a complete restart with Texture-Packs.com, built properly this time, with its own design, original screenshots, before-and-after comparisons, version compatibility info, and installation guides.
Today, Jonathan coordinates the development of the site and works with a small team to keep everything running. We review all submitted packs, keep information up to date, and moderate comments to make sure everything stays useful. We write everything in both English and German because we want to reach as many players as possible. Whether you’re from the US, Brazil, the Philippines, or anywhere else, you’ll find everything here properly tested and explained.
That’s really all there is to it. Just some Minecraft fans who wanted texture packs, shaders, and mods to be easier to find.
Is Texture-Packs.com safe?
Yes, and we can back that up. We do not modify or edit any texture packs, shaders or mods. Every download link leads directly to the creator’s official sources, and nothing is hosted on our own servers. The difference from shady sites: nothing gets listed here without being manually checked first. We do everything we can to keep the risk for our visitors as low as possible.
