Pack Repos
by Moineau
Pack Repos gives Minecraft's pack menus extra folders, so data packs and resource packs can be kept in places other than the default one, and modpacks can bundle pack sets.
What it does
The mod lets pack folders be defined in its config, and it adds separate folders for data packs and resource packs that are required, bundled, or hidden. Required packs stay enabled and cannot be turned off by players, while bundled packs ship inside a modpack and can be enabled or left out by the modpack creator. Hidden folders keep their packs out of the menu entirely.
Pack Repos is built for modpack and server setups where the set of packs must be fixed or controlled. It is a simple, lightweight implementation of these folder features, and it also serves as an API that other mods such as Content Packs can build on. Files are published for Fabric only, for 26.2, and the source code and issue tracker are public. The mod is open source under the Apache License 2.0. It runs on the client or the server, and neither side needs it.
Key features
Data packs folder
A dedicated folder for data packs, separate from the world's default datapacks directory.
Required resource packs folder
Packs placed here are always enabled, so they cannot be disabled from the pack menu.
Required data packs folder
Data packs placed here are always enabled, which suits packs a server needs in every world.
Bundled folders
Bundled resource packs and data packs folders let modpack creators ship optional packs that can be enabled or left out.
Hidden pack folders
Folders that stay out of the pack menu, so their packs are only loaded through the config.
Configurable folders
The folders are defined in the mod's config, so a modpack can set its own layout.

How it compares
Simple Resource Loader is a Fabric and Quilt library for 1.21 – 26.3, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source. Toggle Resource Pack is a client-side Fabric mod for 26.2 under the MIT License, also open source, which only switches resource packs on and off. Pack Repos is a Fabric mod for 26.2 with a client or server environment and the Apache License 2.0, so it covers the folder setup that these two do not.
