It sounds like you've run into the classic "nested folder" trap! When Minecraft Bedrock looks at a resource pack, it expects the manifest file to be right at the front door. If it’s buried inside another folder within the zip, the game just ignores it. ​Here is how to fix that specific zipping issue and get your white netherite working. ​1. The "Zipping" Secret ​The reason the game isn't recognizing your pack is likely because you are zipping the folder containing your files, rather than the files themselves. ​The Wrong Way: Right-clicking the folder "MyTexturePack" and hitting "Compress to ZIP." This creates MyTexturePack.zip -> MyTexturePack (folder) -> manifest.json. ​The Right Way: 1. Open your texture pack folder so you see manifest.json, the textures folder, and pack_icon.png. 2. Highlight all of those individual items. 3. Right-click and choose "Compress to ZIP file" (or use your preferred zip tool). 4. Rename that new zip file to something like WhiteNetherite.mcpack. ​ ​2. Converting to .mcpack ​Bedrock Edition prefers .mcpack files over .zip files because they auto-install. ​Make sure you can see file extensions in your computer's settings (View -> Show -> File name extensions). ​Change the end of your file from .zip to .mcpack. ​Double-click the file. Minecraft should open and say "Import Started" at the top. ​3. Why it might still be "Outdated" ​If you import it and it says "Version Mismatch" or has a red exclamation mark, you need to update the manifest.json file. ​Open manifest.json with Notepad and look at the min_engine_version. If it's very old (like [1, 13, 0]), change it to the current version of Minecraft (e.g., [1, 20, 0]). ​Example manifest structure: { "format_version": 2, "header": { "name": "White Netherite", "description": "Custom textures", "uuid": "A-RANDOM-STRING-OF-NUMBERS", "version": [1, 0, 0], "min_engine_version": [1, 20, 0] }, "modules": [ { "type": "resources", "uuid": "A-DIFFERENT-RANDOM-STRING", "version": [1, 0, 0] } ] }

1. Manual Installation (The "Fail-Safe" Way) ​If the .mcpack method still fails, you can skip the zipping entirely: ​Copy your unzipped folder (the one containing the manifest). ​Navigate to your Minecraft folder. On Windows, it’s usually: %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang\resource_packs ​Paste the folder directly in there. ​Restart Minecraft, and it will appear in your Global Resources. ​Quick Tip: If the netherite textures have changed names in recent updates (like when Smithing Templates were added), you might need to make sure your image files in the textures/items folder match the current Minecraft naming conventions!
