NoPackCompatCheck
by Wudji
With NoPackCompatCheck installed, the resource pack selection screen stops showing version incompatibility warnings for packs that declare older pack format numbers.
What it does
The mod turns off the warning that Minecraft shows on the resource pack selection screen when a pack's declared pack format differs from the running game. It works from the client side only, so players install it and servers do not need it. The warnings appear because pack authors often leave the supported versions in pack.mcmeta unchanged after the format number climbs, even when a pack still works on newer releases. Since Minecraft 1.20 the format has changed far more often; it reached 64 by 1.21.8.
NoPackCompatCheck is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, across 29 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.3. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and is open source, and public links exist for the source code and the issue tracker. The mod was first published on 2025-08-12 and last updated on 2026-07-22.
Key features
Warning suppression
The incompatible-version notice is hidden on the resource pack selection screen, so a long list of packs reads cleanly.
Pack loading unchanged
The mod only silences the warning; packs are still listed and selectable as before, with their own compatibility left to the player.
Single warning type
Only the pack format notice is affected, so other messages on the selection screen keep appearing as they did before.

Use cases
Players with many packs
Someone who keeps several texture or UI packs installed can open the selection screen without scanning for warnings on each entry.
Using older packs on new releases
A player running a recent version can keep packs whose authors have not updated pack.mcmeta, relying on the packs' own compatibility.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players on the client side who use resource packs written for earlier pack formats. Server owners and players who only play without packs have no need for it.
How it compares
Compact F3 is also a client-side mod, open source under the MIT License, and is published for 1.19.2 – 26.3 with Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, but it changes the F3 debug screen rather than pack warnings. Paxi is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and covers 1.19.2 – 26.1.2 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. It works on either side, and neither side needs it.
