Resource Control

by Brickyboy

Resource Control lets server owners and modpack makers turn resource packs on, off and reorder them with chat commands, without editing files.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient or server, optionalApache License 2.0Open source1.20.1 – 1.21.1

What it does

The mod adds commands that control resource packs. A pack can be activated or deactivated by its filename, and an activated pack can be moved up or down the priority list by an amount. Setting the amount to 0 moves the pack all the way to the top or bottom. Zip files must be named with the .zip extension in the command.

Each command can end with an optional reload parameter. When it is included, the player's resources reload right after the command runs. Without it, changes take effect the next time reloadall runs or the F3+T shortcut is used. A log lists the resource packs found for the player who ran the command, and it is written to the server console; the log can also be hosted over LAN.

Commands affect only the player who runs them, since no admin permission is required to execute them. Admins or datapacks can use the mod to control the packs of other players. Resource Control is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge. Client or server is optional, so either side can run it alone or both can run it. Files target 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and the latest builds are for 1.21.1.

Key features

  1. Activate and deactivate packs

    Toggling a resource pack by filename switches it on or off, and the same command reverses the state.

  2. Reorder pack priority

    A pack moves up or down the priority list by a chosen amount, or to the very top or bottom.

  3. Optional reload

    A trailing parameter reloads the player's resources immediately after a command runs.

  4. Pack logging

    Resource packs found for a player are logged to the server console and can be viewed over LAN.

Does a player need the mod to use the commands?

No. Either side can run the mod alone, and neither side needs it, so players can join a server without installing it.

What the author says

This mod is designed for server owners and modpack makers. It allows the controlling of a users resource packs through commands. All commands only affect the player running them, but since they don't require admin /execute as [player] run rc can work for admins/datapacks to control other players.
