Use WinRAR to open the minecraft.jar file, and in that, you will find a file called Terrain.png. Open it up with your prefered picture editing software (I prefer Paint.Net) and edit away! Make sure after you are done editing, save and drag the picture back into the Minecraft.jar file.
its texture packs and they change the textures of minecraft. making it look how you please
You can some-what make texture packs by using the Painterly Pack, which has a bunch of pre-made options, and you can choose different textures for different items.
Texture packs are absolutly free, just search minecraft texture packs, and you can download one.
find the texture pack you want then download it and put it in the texture packs folder that it shows you on the textures packs screen on minecraft.
Scroll down and click on "Texture packs."
I don't think there are any black and white texture packs for Minecraft. There may be something wrong with your copy of Minecraft...
If You Want To Get Texture Packs For Minecraft, You Can Search A Texture Pack In Google And Download The Texture Pack File And Press Your Start Button On The Screen, And Search Or Press 'Run' For Some Computers And Look For '%appdata%' And Go To .Minecraft And Go To Texture Packs And Put Your File In There. Then Open Minecraft And Appear!
Download it from planet minecraft
I go to planetminecraft.com
Planetminecraft.net, minecraft forums, or Minecraftskin.com
When you downloaded the texture pack, it should be in a zip file. You have to put the .zip file into the %appdata%>.minecraft>texture packs if you are a mac user: Your Mac id>Library>application support>minecraft>texture packs. Do not use the Library in the macintosh HD Drive. Then you open up minecraft, then you go into texture packs and mods. Then choose the texture pack, then say ok, then play minecraft :)
Texture packs are downloadable files that change the appearance of the game. In minecraft it can change everything from the appearance of the blocks to the mobs and sometimes the default player skin.
