Keep The ResourcePack
by focamacho
Keep The ResourcePack is a client-side utility that keeps a server's resource pack loaded after a player leaves the server.
What it does
Players who join servers with a server resource pack normally see it unload and reload on every join and leave. The mod caches the latest server pack so it stays loaded once the game has started, and each player loads it only one time. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric and Forge for 1.16.5 – 1.21.4, and the code is open source under the MIT License.
Key features
Persistent server pack
The latest server resource pack stays loaded after leaving the server, instead of being removed.
Cached pack loading
The pack is cached when the game starts, so a player loads it only one time rather than on every connection.
Modpack-friendly setup
Modpack makers can keep the resource pack on the server, and updates reach players without making their play harder.
