Question 6

How to Add Resource Packs to Minecraft Server

Accepted Answer

Resource packs in Minecraft allow you to customize textures & language files to significantly enhance and customize your gaming experience, adding unique textures, sounds, and visual effects that transform gameplay. Resource packs do this by changing the textures (and sometimes other things) of the game.

By adding resource packs to your Minecraft game server, every player can enjoy a consistent, immersive look and feel, ensuring the same visual experience for everyone.

Resource packs are completely synonymous with Texture packs. They are not, however, the same as data packs or behavior packs which change actual gameplay.

How a Resource Pack Loads for Java Edition

On your Minecraft server, a resource pack will load for your Minecraft server based on the values set in the server.properties file. The server.properties file has the following values:

resource-pack=[link]
resource-pack-sha1=[hash]

The resource-pack/[link] is a to a URL of the resource pack zip.

The resource-pack-sha1/[hash] is the SHA1 of the resource pack zip file. This part is not required, but is recommended when installing a resource pack to check the integrity of the file.

Step 1: Requiring Resource Packs on Your Minecraft Server

Before installing and adding a resource pack to your Minecraft server, you'll need to require your resource pack through your server.properties file.

Depending on the type of Minecraft installation, the setup process will be different.
