How to get resource packs in Minecraft Education Edition

Minecraft is a game where players can be almost anything they want to be. Aside from changing their look with different skins and creating anything they desire with any of the numerous blocks, they can also change the way the game looks.

This is most notably done using a resource pack. These resource packs are downloadable files that can drastically change the way that textures are applied in the Minecraft world.

Players can make their worlds look more realistic, add cartoon-like effects and many other fun looks to their game - making it the most fun a player can have in a collaborative learning environment.

How to get resource packs in Minecraft Education Edition

The first step towards getting a resource pack in the Education Edition is downloading the one that you want from a reputable website. It is important that the site is reputable, such as Curseforge, because if it isn't, players could end up downloading a virus and damaging their game or computer.

After heading to the website, players should search for resource packs and select the one that they want to download. It should be noted that not all mods and packs work with Education Edition, to keep the game stable in the collaborative environment.

Therefore, when choosing a resource pack, players should pick the ones listed as being compatible with Minecraft Education Edition. Once found, download and extract the files.
