How do i use a resource pack in minecraft? (1.6.2)?

I have it downloaded, ready to use, I unzipped it and everything. I have 2 now (zipped and unzipped) but I can't figure out how to use them, they aren't letting me choose them in minecraft options. Do I need Java to convert it? Because every video I've seen on how to use them they have java. Do I really need it

You probably just need to put it in you're resource pack folder. Open the menu and go to "Options", then "Resource Packs". This is where you'll be able to select you're pack. On the bottom, click on "Open resource pack folder". From here, drag the file for the resource pack into the folder. Close it and it should be in you're selections. If not, switch the file for the other zipped/unzipped version.
