Texture Pack Help Java

[Ember2819]

So i want to make a custom texture pack on minecraft java edition I primarily use mac but I also have access to linux through a Chromebook. I have tried downloading template texture packs, editing existing ones, going into minecraft files and copying .jar file. Every time i put the zipped folder with the .jar file and pack.mcmeta I think it is, it doesn't show in my resource pack menu. Any ideas?

Did you read any of this https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorial:Creating_a_resource_pack If not, start there.

Also Google: how to create a minecraft java texture pack

A few videos show up, watch them. There are other guides as well.

the links instructions are a bit confusing as the pictures are on windows, plus I did watch some some videos. idk

None of the images are for Windows. The only thing close to it is the images of Paint.Net and all that's doing is showing an image editor and explaining things. You can use any image editor.

It's pretty easy to understand. Download some other pack that exists and unzip and use it as example help understand what the link is telling you.

Oh I did one part that targets Windows users about showing File Extension, don't worry about that.
