Global resource packs have to be reapplied after restarting the game (Resource Packs NOT saving from game)

To get in details, as almost everyone said, it happens even on global options, after closing the game, no matter if it was by confirmation or forced, it only restarts the resources to default.

Also, I have this problem on Windows 10 and Android, don't know if it happens on other editions

Yeah, this is really annoying and I hope it gets fixed soon.

Also happening in 1.4.2

Replicatible bug
Selecting available packs and making them Active (packs used are Chroma Hills and Natural Texture Pack) then going into either a local or realm game, then saving and exiting.
Quitting the game.
Restarting the game the previously select packs are no longer Active

its Also happening on Minecraft 1.4.4 Official and 1.6.0.1 Beta Windows 10 Version

The Texture Pack is removed by its self, and you need to re-do it for aplying the texture pack

Also happens in Nintendo Switch version, I hope is not removed as "Duplicate" because is a different platform, but happens anyways.

EDIT: Yup, still happening in 1.6.0.5 just not the same way. Sometimes it remembers for up to 10 launch and quits, then sometimes it forgets just like in 1.4.2/1.6.0.1

Still testing here, but it would appear to be fixed in 1.6.0.5 on Windows 10 PC. Launched and quit the game 10 times and it has remembered my global textures. Gone into and out of several maps with different textures packs and when coming back the main menu, my chosen global pack is still there! 🙂

It does not happen with mcpack resource pack   only resource packs stored in the premium cache  Ive used a bit of wizardry on my switch to get an mcpack resource pack into my switch and it does save. 

Additional info: When they do save you can see a weird graphical glitch right before the mojang logo appears

Only partially fixed in 1.7.0.3. Most of the time it'll save fine but sometimes I'll have to go and apply them myself. There are also some instances where the resource packs are still applied after a reboot but won't actually load until you enter the settings and leave

I have the same issue. On Nintendo Switch have to re-apply the pack to global resources EVERY SINGLE TIME I start the game. On pc it is random, sometimes I have to re-apply sometimes I don't. The issue is not specific to any single pack. Running Bedrock 1.6.1 on both pc and switch.

On pc when it doesn't save it'll take significantly more time for the game to get to the main menu

It's still happening with Win 10, playing on my laptop, almost exclusively in realms. I switch back and forth between Chroma Hills (x64), Norse, and Egyptian packs, and quite often when I restart the game for any reason, I've inexplicably reverted to vanilla and have to select a texture pack again.

I'm also having this issue on Windows 10, Android and iOS since the latest update (1.8.0).

Affects 1.9.0.5

This is happening to me on Android Nougat LG Q6 mobile on bedrock current version 1.8.1. My only resource pack I am using is Organized Options. I have to re-add it every time I exit the application before re-joining on the realm I am playing.

Can confirm this happens on XBox One as well.

I managed to get the Natural texture pack to save on version 1.9.0

Can confirm that this is still happening on Xbox One, Bedrock, version 1.10.0
Go into game main Settings, Global Resources, add a texture pack (I use the Minecraft Classic Texture Pack) to Active Packs, play. End game. Shut down Minecraft. Restart Minecraft, and the texture pack is no longer in Active Packs so must be added once again.

Confirmed, happens on xbox one and minecraft pe.

Correction: Minecraft PE is saving correctly the global resources settings. The problem persists on the xbox one platform.

Also happening on Nintendo Switch, I have packs applied to global resources but when I close and reopen the game it just resets, I thought it got fixed in 1.11.0?

It's fixed for me. My resource packs now stay applied all the time.

It's fixed for me as well

I don't think it's fixed for Nintendo Switch because you have to click "Home" then force close it in the console menu, I can confirm that packs don't stay applied on Switch.

I am currently having this issue on my Xbox One X. The global menu reverts back to the default settings every time I close down the game. I have to reapply my chosen resource pack each time I restart the game. This is 6/10/2019.

Can confirm it wasn't fixed for Console (Xbox & Switch) because on mobile/Windows 10 there is a button to leave the game but on console you have to force close from the console home menu, so this bug was fixed when closing it normally not force close.

This issue, which had previously been fixed for me in Win 10, is now back with a vengeance with the 1.12 update.

This issue is listed under Windows 10/ PC as the platform so I just want to make sure that you understand that I'm on XBOX ONE X and having this issue. I'm attaching a clip showing what happens every time. As the game loads up it says, "Loading Resource Pack" but then just goes to the default settings.  It won't let me upload a clip long enough to show how I go to settings and load up my preferred global resource pack after this and then if I turn off the game or play something else I have to do this all again the next time I start Minecraft.

So in the latest beta 1.13.0.16 there is a bug fix that says "Partially fixed an issue that caused global resources not to be applied after relaunching the game". So maybe this means it was fixed in this beta or 1/2 fixed which I'm not sure how that would work. but it's good to point that out anyways.

1.15.0.53 has a problem recently with this as well on xbox one version

Not on Mobile, Texture Packs save, so my beautiful pack is safe.

So far.

Still affecting me on Xbox One on 1.14.60, BDcraft is not staying set after quitting minecraft

The exact same thing happens to me, Xbox One version 1.14.60 hotfix.

My BDcraft packs are not saved when I start the game and I have to activate them manually.
And playing offline (without internet connection) they do not appear purchased.

Hopefully they solve this problem soon.

Thanks greetings.

I really hate this bug as I need to reapply every pack often. I have 43 packs and it is painful to apply the packs very often. I hope mojang fix this bug. I am on Minecraft windows 10 edition.

Affects 1.16.0.60 Beta.

I am having a terrible time with my Global Resources since the last Hotfix (PS4 edition that was updated to Bedrock). I have to download my City Texture Pack every single time I log in. I also now get an error in the ‘My Packs’ section where I seem to have a corrupt file. I cannot delete this file no matter what I do. It’s like a nasty tapeworm! When I check my save data there are no corrupt files. I have actually just deleted every single piece of data I had on my PS4 relating to Minecraft and still I have issues with the Global Resources. Sometimes it causes issues with friends/family trying to join my world - they get a pink error screen at their side. It’s rea;;y frustrating because now I’ve lost everything I created in my beautiful world and for nothing. This Bedrock edition is just so horrid. 

This is still happening on Xbox One X in version 1.16.1 - Have to reapply my chosen global resource pack each and every time I start the game. It always reverts back to default whenever I close the game. Still.

Is this ever going to be fixed? Most other platforms (e.g. PC, iOS) save your texture pack selection just fine, but not on the XBox. And it has been this way for literally years now. How can something this simple hang around this long?

Affects 1.16.100.58 Beta.

"It is scheduled to be fixed in one of the future updates (no specific date can be provided)" its been 2 years. any idea on a date yet?

Weirdly this happens with some texture packs for me but not others. Hopefully a fix comes through eventually

Will this ever be fixed? I'm using PureBDCraft on Xbox SX but have to reapply it every time!

Confirmed, this is still happening for me. However I've noticed that the XBox Series X quick resume feature effectually keeps minecraft running, so it doesn't forget what texture texture packs to use. The downside of this, is that because of MCPE-94489, minecraft isn't able to connect to realms, which means force quitting minecraft, launching it again, re-selecting the texture packs because of this bug, then opening the realm I want to play on (Instead of just pressing 'A').

It's also worth noting that (at least for me), this issue seems to be fixed on Windows 10.

Well this ticket has been open for almost 4 years, so I don't expect much. But I can confirm this is still happening on v1.18.2 as of Jan 24, 2022.

Started happening to me after 1.19. It doesn’t matter how I exit the game, I have to reselect my packs every time I start the game. Windows 10 Bedrock on a PC.

This has been an issue for me on Xbox since 1.16. Global resources have never saved and it's really annoying....

What's old is new again. It's back with a vengeance ... again. My vote for following this issue is still active from years ago.
A new wrinkle in it this time is getting an update notice after selecting the texture pack, one that says initially "Updating 102990380 of 1" or something similar, a really long number of 1. It will stay this way for several seconds before reverting to "Updating 1 of 1".
The problem is that it keeps "updating" almost every time I restart the game, further delaying the game startup.
I've just deleted all my texture packs, and I'm only going to load the one I'm currently using to see if it's a problem with one specific pack.

I am experiencing the same issue on PS5.

It's been more than 4 years and this still hasn't been solved. Laughable.

This is now affecting me on Android as well 

Only packs bought from Marketplace are affected as far as I can tell. The issue is present on 1.19.2 and 1.19.10. (for me it's PureBDCraft)

This is a new issue for me. After the update to 1.19 I must reactivate texture packs I have purchased from marketplace each time I launch Minecraft.

Win 10

Bedrock

Xbox Ultimate Gamepass

Update: logged in to see this issue is resolved for me in version 1.19.7002.0

Update 2: Never mind they've broken this again with hot fix 1.19.7102.0. 😞

This wouldn’t be so irritating if I literally wasn’t having to do it constantly, because the sound error, when the game gets minimized, it loses all sound. Only way to get it back is to restart the whole game.. that means I have re-activate the resource packs each time too. 

I'm not getting the "Updating xxxxxxxxx of 1" popup with the absurdly high number, and haven't been getting it ever since uninstalling all of my packs but the two I'm currently using. But since most of my playtime these days is in Java, I haven't used Bedrock much.
The problem still persists with any and all resource packs purchased from the Marketplace, according to personal experience and the complaints of many of my Minecraft friends on Discord.
According to these same sources, this problem does NOT happen with non-Marketplace texture packs. I can confirm this with the only non-Marketplace pack I currently have installed: the John Smith Legacy Pack (Jim Stonecraft Edition). I can exit the game and the pack is still active when I restart.

I hadn't been getting the "Updating xxxx of 4294967295" error until about last week or so, when it started happening again, so it's apparently still an issue for some people (myself included). Fortunately (on console), the workaround of going back to the home screen then back into MC starts the loading process and actually loads the texture pack (although I do need to open the settings menu and close it again to trigger applying the pack).

Is there any way to fix this, at least manually, settings, touching some xml? It's annoying that resource packs bought from the marketplace have this problem, but free options don't

Same situation here. Wasn't a problem for me till 1.19.ish I'm in 1.19.50 now. 

I have to reapply the packs every time I open the game. It's not game breaking, but it's annoying. 

I have the same problem, every time I restart the game it loads the default texture, I have bought the texture and it is quite a nuisance, I have windows 11 and version 1.19.63 of the game

Edit: fixed in version 1.19.70

Re-eddit: it doesn't work again in 1.19.71

Appears to be fixed for me with the 1.19.70 update.

Broken again with the release of the hot mess three days later.

1.19.70 did also fix this for me from what I can tell, but whatever they did with one of the few bugs in the hotfix 1.19.71 undid this and it's happening again.

Is there any way to see official updates or acknowledgements on this issue? So frustrating that it was fixed for me for about a day.

1.20.0.20 beta and preview too is affected

It is related to how the marketplace packs are encrypted (to prevent piracy). If you move an unencrypted pack from premium_cache/resource_packs (where marketplace packs are stored) to games/com.mojang/resource_packs (where other packs are stored), then it will save. If you move an encrypted one, then it will not be loaded but still in the "My Packs" list. With an encrypted one in the new location, it will be activated when resource packs are reloaded.

Affects 1.19.80.23

I am still having problems with the texture pack deactivating. I get no error message and no pop up at all. I am experiencing the problem while using the Nintendo Switch.

The problem continues after the recent update. Now it takes a long time to load the texture pack while continuing to have the problem of reloading every time.

1.19.73 is affected. Switch, Android and Windows versions. 

1.19.83 is affected as well Xbox series x

As of version 1.20.1.0 this issue appears to have been resolved for me on Windows 10 PC.
