Resource Pack Sync
by Starcage
Resource Pack Sync keeps the client's resource pack folder in step with supported global loaders such as Paxi, so packs stored in one place are available everywhere.
What it does
Players who keep many resource packs in one folder can point Resource Pack Sync at it, and the mod mirrors that folder into the loaders it supports. Zip archives and plain folders are both read, so a pack can be dropped in as either form. A blacklist lets players exclude packs they do not want synced, a option that was removed in version 1.1.0 and is no longer part of the current build.
The mod is built for NeoForge and targets Minecraft 1.21.1 only. It is client-side only, so the server does not need it and players join a server without installing anything. The code is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, with public links to the source and the issue tracker. Files were first published on 2026-06-14, and the latest NeoForge file, 1.1.0 for 1.21.1, carries the same date.
Key features
Automatic pack syncing
Packs placed in the watched folder are synced into the loaders without manual copying or reloading.
Paxi integration
Synced packs are passed to Paxi, which loads global resource packs for the client.
Zip and folder packs
Both zipped packs and unpacked folders are recognized and synced from the same location.
Modular and lightweight
The mod is split into small modules, and each one handles a single part of the sync process.

Use cases
One shared pack folder

Who it’s for: Players who use Paxi or want global resource pack loading on NeoForge 1.21.1 and prefer one folder for all their packs.
How it compares
Sazerac is a NeoForge mod for 1.21 – 1.21.1 that needs both client and server, and it is open source under the MIT License. Global Packs covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.16.4 – 26.3 and is not open source. Resource Pack Sync is client-side only and open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, so it does not require any server-side install.
