Hey everybody, it’s Under My Cap, and welcome back to another video! Today, I’m going to show you something very cool: how to add a custom texture or resource to your world border. As you can see behind me, this is the world border. It looks pretty basic; it just consists of a few lines. But today, I’ll show you how to make it into anything you want. Please note that this tutorial will only work on Java Edition. I won’t teach you how to use the world border itself, but I will leave a link in the description to my world border video, where I cover every single step and command related to the world border. You should be able to learn it in about seven minutes. But anyway, let’s get straight into this! As you can see, this is the normal world border, and I’ve actually created a world border with a custom texture pack. I’ve set this one to blue, which looks really nice. I like it because it resembles a basic blue force field. It doesn’t look too pixelated or anything, and it looks quite nice with the water as well. I prefer it like this, and I often play Minecraft with it set this way. However, you can change it to anything, as I mentioned before. So let’s get started! Now I’m on my display, and I’ll move this over here. Here we have a normal resource pack. I am playing in version 1.17, but that shouldn’t matter. You just need some sort of texture pack. You can use other people’s texture packs, but you need to delete everything except for the world border. I’ll show you how to do that. As you can see, a texture pack consists of these three things. You need to have these two items; if you don’t, it won’t work. I’m going to go into the assets folder, followed by the Minecraft textures. Your texture or resource pack may have a bunch of other folders, but all you need is the textures folder. So just delete all the other folders, go to textures, and you’ll see a list of files. Now you want to go into the “misc” folder, which contains your world border. It’s referred to as the force field in this situation. I’m going to select everything except for the “misc” folder and simply delete it. Now I’m left with just the necessary files. I want to keep “force field” and the associated PNG files, so let’s delete everything else. Now, we have the “force field” PNG file ready for editing. If you’re on Windows, I recommend using Paint 3D, as you don’t have to download anything; it’s a straightforward program to use. On a Mac, you can use Preview, which I’ve used before, but Paint 3D is probably better in this situation. The force field is made of this kind of gray color. I’ll explain why. Basically, the Minecraft game puts a blue filter over the top of this image, and the more transparent a pixel is, the more it will show through. As you can see, this particular area has very faint transparency, but it’s quite weak. If you want it to be much stronger, you would increase the opacity. You can also add custom colors! For example, if I wanted to change this to orange, the result would be a nice orange color with a blue effect. However, I’m not sure how well that would work, but I’ll show you how it looks. I’ll erase this area and create something random. Let’s set the strength to about 25, choose a nice gray for the color, and decrease the thickness. As you can see, I’ve created a quick pattern. You can put much more effort into this; I’m just doing it quickly for demonstration. Once you’re done, you want to save your work. If you click the ‘X’ and select ‘Save,’ it should save back to the folder properly. Now, you want to open your Minecraft folder. Just type in %appdata% and then select the Minecraft folder. Go down to the resource packs, and you can drag in your resource pack. I’ll rename this to “force field” and then drag it into the resource pack folder. I think I might have misspelled it, but that’s fine. Now let’s open Minecraft. As you can see, I’m now in the game. I’m going to go to Options, Resource Packs, slide out the old one, and add in the new one. Here it is, the 1.16 force field. It looks a bit rough initially, but you can see a very faint zigzag line, which indicates the custom border. Now, let’s say I want to add some color; how will that change the appearance? If I add color, you’ll notice a significant difference in the force field’s appearance. I’ll add a little green, and you’ll see how it changes. Oh, that looks a bit unusual! But you can see it’s taking on a more greenish hue. I could have used a different color, like purple or red, but you get the idea—you can change colors. However, if you’d like to maintain the blueish color, I recommend using gray and adjusting the opacity as needed. Right now, it’s set at 40, so it’s fairly visible. If it were at 100 percent, you might not see through the world border at all, but you can tell that it works. That’s about it! If you enjoyed the video, please leave a like and don’t forget to subscribe to the channel; it would be greatly appreciated. I thought this would be a really cool idea, as not many people know they can change the world border, and you can create a multitude of designs with this method. I’d love to see what you come up with! Also, please comment on what you want me to do next. I enjoy reading all your suggestions. Thank you so much for watching, and I can’t wait to see you in the next video!
