+### Texture Pack
+This is a directory containing the entire contents of a single texture pack.
+It can be chosen more or less freely and will also become the name of the
+texture pack. The name must not be “base”.
+
+### `description.txt`
+A file containing a short description of the texture pack to be shown in the
+texture packs tab.
+
+### `screenshot.png`
+A preview image showing an in-game screenshot of this texture pack; it will be
+shown in the texture packs tab. It should have an aspect ratio of 3:2 and a
+minimum size of 300×200 pixels.
+
+### `your_texture_1.png`, `your_texture_2.png`, etc.
+Any other PNG files will be interpreted as textures. They must have the same
+names as the textures they are supposed to override. For example, to override
+the apple texture of Minetest Game, add a PNG file named `default_apple.png`.
+
+The custom textures do not necceessarily require the same size as their
+originals, but this might be required for a few particular textures. When
+unsure, just test your texture pack in-game.
