Note on Pack Versions / Formats

Although resource packs were introduced in 1.6.1¹, the resource pack format number was not enforced (introduced?) until 1.8.8-pre². Additionally, the organization of assets (and even their format!) went through multiple changes during pack format 1. Notably, block/item models were not supported until 1.8³⁴.

Pack Format 1

1.6.1

Added resource packs, replacing the functionality of texture packs.

1.7.2

Added the ability to apply multiple resource packs at once.
Moved files from assets/minecraft/music to assets/minecraft/sounds/music and files from assets/minecraft/sound to assets/minecraft/sounds.

1.7.3

The description value of pack.mcmeta can now be raw JSON text format.

1.7.4

Removed the ability to change the Mojang logo.

1.8

Added the ability to change the block and item models.
Textures can now be specified for blocks and items.
Added the interpolate tag for animations.

1.8.8

Resource packs now display an error if the format number is wrong. At this time, it requires a format number of 1.

Pack Format 2

1.9

Changed format number to 2, due to changes in the model system, such as item tags, multipart, and changes to display tags.
- TODO: Get more detailed information about these changes.

Pack Format 3

1.11

Changed format number to 3, due to the change that all files should have lowercase letters.

Pack Format 4

1.13

Changed format number to 4, due to The Flattening.

1.14

Particles textures are now split into individual files.
Painting textures are now split into individual files.
Status effect textures are now split into individual files.
Particles are now configurable.

Pack Format 5

1.15

Changed format number to 5, due to texture mechanic changes in earlier 1.14 snapshots.

Pack Format 6

1.16.2

Changed format number to 6, due to changes to wall blocks made in 1.16 according to MC-197275.

Pack Format 7

1.17

Changed format number to 7.
The file credits.txt in assets/minecraft/texts was changed to credits.json, and the format also changed from plain text to structured JSON format.

Pack Format 8

1.18

Changed format number to 8, because inventory.png now contains an extra sprite for a thin-layout version of the effect list in the inventory.
