so ive downloaded a few texture/material packs that also came with some meshes- but when i go to put them into my world, they appear as the grey square textureless thing… but they dont appear that way in the content browser until after i select/place them. the same thing happens when i make my own material. im sure its something really simple but i just cant figure it out… thanks.
