i am having lots of trouble with turning a txt file to a mcmeta file.
could you make a mcmetafile with
{
"pack": {
"pack_format": 5,
"description": "c'mon please work"
}
}
in it?
Please and thank you!
other help would also be appreciated

Hi,
The code you put should already work fine. Make sure it saved as "pack.mcmeta" without .txt on the end. To make sure you can change the filetype, on Windows, ensure "File name extensions" is enabled in File Explorer.

You should then be able to change the filetype.
How to rename to pack.mcmeta in File Explorer
Keep in mind that a pack_format of 5 is intended for Minecraft version 1.15 and 1.16. Check here to see which format to use.
Ideally you should put it in a .zip file, then put that .zip in your .minecraft/resourcepacks folder. It should then appear in Minecraft.
Result inside Minecraft

The pack.mcmeta is for Java Edition. Minecraft for Android/iOS uses the Marketplace, which is a different system.
See https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/partner
Edit: Changed URL for the partner page.
