How to add a resource pack on a Minecraft Bedrock server

Adding a resource pack to a Minecraft Bedrock server can significantly enhance the game's visual experience. A resource pack, also known as a texture pack, can replace the default textures and sounds of the game with custom ones, providing a unique look and feel to the game. Resource packs can range from simple tweaks to major overhauls and completely transform the game's appearance.

Note: An FTP client is required to transfer files onto the Minecraft Bedrock server. Follow this tutorial to learn how to use an FTP client.
