Basically, just put your favorite texture / resource packs! Here are mine!: Old Faithful Arestian's Dawn AdventureTimeCraft DragonDance
There's so many amazing ones but for general play I like Faithful. It makes the text so clear and everything is so easily recognizable without having to learn over again what the items are like with some of the really fancy ones.

You don't have to extract texture packs. You can just put the folder into your resourcepack/texturepack folder as it is zipped.
