📦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

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)

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

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)

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

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.
