# Add a Resource Pack

### 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.
