Minecraft Marketplace is the ultimate go-to for console players when it comes to downloading maps and textures. Creators go through a tough selection process to determine if their resource packs will appeal to the fans.
The marketplace has plenty of underrated gems, and decent packs are often overlooked by crafters because of the consensus that the Java Edition is superior. But that isn’t always the case since Bedrock Edition is more optimized to run these packs better because these are official handpicked selections.

9 Papercraft 2: City Project
Designed by Jigarbov Productions, this map features a detailed city with 2D textures for vehicles and mobs like real papercraft. Your objective is to collect stickers around the world while attempting quests or flying paper planes.
The map is not linear, so you can find all stickers however you want. The 2D skin also looks weird, but in a good way. Some quests have bosses while others require tricky puzzle solving.

4 Scariest Map Ever
Developed by Sapphire Studios, Scariest Map Ever is a decent horror pack that pits you against a Slender-like monster. The objective: escape the nightmare. The map is similar to a slasher film in that you’re only armed with twigs and some weak weapons occasionally.
