What is a MCMETA file?

A .MCMETA file is a Minecraft Resource Pack Info file.

These MCMETA files are used by the Minecraft software, which is a cross-platform video game.

MCMETA files are JSON files that describe the contents of a Resource Pack or Data Pack, which are both used to customize the Minecraft game - also known as modding.

A resource or data pack is identified by Minecraft based on the presence of the file "pack.mcmeta" in the root directory of the package. The structure is almost the same for both kinds of mods.

Data packs can be used to override or add new advancements, dimensions, functions, loot tables, predicates, recipes, structures, tags, world generation settings, and biomes without code modification.

Resource packs can be used to customize textures, models, music, sounds, languages, texts, credits, and fonts without code modification.
