Minecraft Windows 10 Edition - Get All Texture Packs For Free!

I found this out while trying to install the new behaviour packs and all that stuff. This was discovered at 18:06:39 GMT+0300 (GTB Standard Time) (if that is important) so here is a tutorial! If you share this make sure to credit me:

  • Step 1. Take control of the WindowsApps folder in C:/Program Files/ by doing this: Downloading the following registry addition http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3841-take-ownership-add-context-menu-windows-10-a.html and then running the .reg file that came with it, after you have done all of that just right-click on the WindowsApps folder, Take Ownership

  • Step 2. Go to the Microsoft.MinecraftUWP0.1600.5.0_x64_8wekyb3d8bbwe folder and go to the /data/resourcepacks, there you will see the major flaw. They included all the resource pack files with the game. Copy those to a safe location.

  • Step 3. Now navigate to this location using the File Explorer: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\games\com.mojang (make sure to replace username with your PC name)

  • Step 4. Now navigate to the resource_packs folder and copy all the resourcepacks to the folder. Now launch Minecraft and it should work!
Troubleshooting

Q: The Take Ownership Registry addition does not work for me!
A: Try doing it manually by using the Security tab in the Properties window

Q: The resource packs aren't working for me!
A: Edit the metadata and remove all UUIDS and other identification stuff then try again, for best results rename the UUID to the name of the texturepack(Thanks to @LiveLatios)

I accidentally moved the vanilla texture out of the Minecraft installation and I need permissions to get it back, and without it, the game crashes. What do I do?

Lol, this... Is dumb. I mean their resources packs aren't really special, and considering the heaping supply of resource packs already available, I'm not even sure why they try to charge for them or skins for that matter. It really seems like it's just for the heck of it. /shrug

... welp, that was easy. I agree, it's dumb that they do that stuff. Thankfully, I'm not playing on the W10 edition, playing on the Java version, therefore I don't have to worry about this.

(Then again, I'd hope that I'm not playing the W10 edition, given that I don't run windows...)

    Back when Oculus Rift was still starting out and being demoed around, they modded existing games to use it as a 360° immersive screen thing and that was AMAZING.

    The tech to have quality VR goggles at an affordable price is here, but every set has to have 4 additional controllers and be standalone.

    These are the same type of gamers that spend $2,000 on a GPU when a $600 GPU gives nearly the same outcome which is what the market looks at for them to do spend more on unneeded bs
