We investigate how quantum resource constraints affect deep thermalization, the emergence of universal local wavefunction distributions from partial measurements of a quantum many-body state. Quantum resources, such as non-stabilizerness (magic), coherence, asymmetry, imaginarity, and non-Gaussianity, are essential for quantum information processing, and constraints on their global abundance can reshape these emergent distributions. To address this question, we develop a unified framework for deep thermalization within general quantum resource theories (QRTs). Our central result is that QRTs fall into two classes: ``smoothly localizable'' (SL) QRTs, where the resource content of local post-measurement states changes continuously with the global resource density, set by the initial state and measurement basis, yielding continuously tunable wavefunction distributions; and ``threshold localizable'' (TL) QRTs, where the local resource content jumps discontinuously from minimal to near-maximal past a critical global resource threshold, producing a sharp transition between a resourceless, ``deep-ergodicity breaking'' distribution and a resourceful, maximally random one. We trace this SL-TL dichotomy to an information-theoretic mechanism, block sharpening: by viewing each QRT as coherence between blocks in Hilbert space, we show that the local resource content depends on the measurement's ability to collapse an initial superposition into a single resourceless block. Our theory is analytically tractable and quantitatively predicts the phase boundaries across all studied QRTs, which we validate with extensive numerical simulations. Finally, we highlight two consequences: a novel magic transition in zero-rate quantum error-correcting codes--previously believed to occur only at finite rates--and new implications for quantum resource certification protocols based on post-measurement state ensembles.
