# Add a Resource Pack

This guide will explain how to set up a resource pack as a server resource pack, this means that all players will be given the option to use the resource pack when they join the server.

### Hosting the resource pack <a href="#hosting-the-resource-pack" id="hosting-the-resource-pack"></a>

Firstly, you’ll need somewhere to host the resource pack, this needs to be a **direct download link** which rules out lots of sites such as Mediafire, or Google Drive.

#### Option 1 (Recommended) <a href="#option-1-recommended" id="option-1-recommended"></a>

One option is to use a site meant for resource pack hosting such as MCPacks.

1. Go to <https://mc-packs.net/>
2. Drag the ZIP file of the pack you wish to use, onto the `Choose File` button
3. Click Upload
4. The site will give you the details in the following format, you can proceed to the `Adding the resource pack` section:

```
resource-pack=https://download.mc-packs.net/pack/7e8434889947b3417aded72e2495b0b85a7aef72.zip
resource-pack-sha1=7e8434889947b3417aded72e2495b0b85a7aef72
```

### Adding the resource pack <a href="#adding-the-resource-pack" id="adding-the-resource-pack"></a>

Once you have the resource pack details from following one of the methods above, you will need to add it to your `server.properties` file. To do so, you’ll need to do the following:

1. Log into your server’s FTP - [How to access your server’s files (using FTP)](https://help.pebblehost.com/en/article/how-to-access-your-servers-files-using-ftp-o5sxel/)
2. Edit the `server.properties` file.
3. Find the `resource-pack=` line and change it to `resource-pack=https://www.dropbox.com/s/abcd12345678/PureBDcraft%20128x%20MC116.zip?dl=1`, or whatever your link is
4. Find the `resource-pack-sha1=` line and change it to `resource-pack-sha1=7e8434889947b3417aded72e2495b0b85a7aef72`, or whatever your hash is
5. Reboot the server

### Allowing resource packs on the client <a href="#allowing-resource-packs-on-the-client" id="allowing-resource-packs-on-the-client"></a>

You’ll need to make sure that, in the server entry, `Server Resource Packs` are set to either `Prompt` or `Enabled`, if it’s set to disabled it will not work. By default it should be `Prompt` which means it asks.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hidencloud.com/minecraft/add-a-resource-pack.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
