Summary
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.
