Texture Pack Folders (Like Recursive Resources)

by tostraight

Texture Pack Folders lets resource packs stored inside real subfolders of the resourcepacks directory load and apply in-game, which vanilla does not do.

What it does

Vanilla Minecraft ignores resource packs placed inside folders in the resourcepacks directory. This Fabric mod scans those subfolders, so packs grouped there appear in the resource pack list and take effect like any other pack, keeping a larger collection tidy without moving files out.

The mod runs on the client alone, so only the player's game needs it and servers do not. It is published for Fabric across four game versions, 1.21.8 – 1.21.11, and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Folder-based pack loading

    Resource packs placed inside subfolders of the resourcepacks directory are detected and listed in the pack menu.

  2. Organized pack collections

    Packs can be grouped into folders by theme or creator, so a large set stays manageable without changing how the packs are built.

  3. Unchanged pack files

    Each pack keeps its own files and structure, and the folders only change where the packs are stored on disk.

What the author says

This mod lets you place resource packs inside real folders within your resourcepacks directory, and they will still show up and work in-game. Unlike vanilla Minecraft, which ignores packs inside folders, this mod makes folder-based resource pack organization fully functional.
