ResourceIgnorer
ResourceIgnorer blocks chosen resource files from being loaded, matching them through configurable path patterns that accept regular expressions.
What it does
A blacklist in the mod's configuration file names the resource file paths to skip. Each entry can match a path with a regular expression, so one line can cover a whole group of assets in a resource pack. The mod is used to keep unwanted assets out of a pack without editing the pack itself.
The mod also works around a rendering problem in which custom entity eyes added by Entity Model Features do not show on Epic Fight entities. Resource packs such as Fresh Animations replace entity textures with eyeless versions, and the eye textures then cannot be applied correctly. Ignoring the matching files lets the eyes render. The configuration file must end with an empty line, or Forge will fail to load it properly.
ResourceIgnorer is a client-side only mod, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. It is open source under the MIT License and has files for Forge and NeoForge; the latest Forge file is 1.0.0 for 1.20.1 and the latest NeoForge file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, both published 2026-08-05. Files cover 1.18.2, 1.19.2, 1.19.3, 1.19.4, 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
Key features
Path blacklist
Resource file paths listed in the configuration are skipped when the game loads resource packs.
Regular expression matching
Entries accept regular expressions, so a single pattern can match a version-numbered pack file and its assets.
Entity eye workaround
Entries that match replaced entity textures let custom eyes from Entity Model Features render on Epic Fight entities.
Configuration validation
The configuration file must end with an empty line, otherwise Forge does not load it correctly.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.

Use cases
Keeping Epic Fight eyes
Players who use Fresh Animations alongside Entity Model Features can blacklist the eyeless entity textures so Epic Fight mobs keep their eyes.
Trimming resource packs
Players can exclude individual assets from a large pack they like, without making a modified copy of the pack.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who combine several resource packs and want to exclude specific files, and players who run Epic Fight with Entity Model Features and Fresh Animations.
