Combined Resource Loader
Combined Resource Loader is a Fabric management mod that lets a player edit, combine and export resource packs from inside the game without outside software.
What it does
Combined Resource Loader is aimed at the average Minecraft player, who wants to swap, replace or reuse textures and audio without opening third-party tools for managing files. Its built-in 2D and 3D texture editor lets a player change resources directly, and the combined result can be exported as a new resource pack that holds the textures that were created or merged.
The mod can also browse, install and sync resource packs from Modrinth and other hosting sites, and host packs for server receipt and upload. Players can specify which textures need a texture pack installed, which adds a requirement system on top of the vanilla resource pack options. It runs on the client only, so servers and other players do not need it.
The project is published for Fabric, with files for 22 release versions across 1.20.1 – 26.2. The latest Fabric file is 26.08.14-mc26.2 for 26.2, a beta release dated 2026-08-15. The mod is first published as of 2026-06-17 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
