ResourcePackExtractor
by ole101
Players who want the resource pack a server sends can pull it out of the game with ResourcePackExtractor, without leaving Minecraft.
What it does
ResourcePackExtractor is a Fabric client mod that copies the resource pack a server sends into a local folder. Extraction happens inside the game through a button on the resource pack selection screen, so no external unpacking tool is needed. Once extracted, the folder can be opened directly from Minecraft, which is useful for learning how a server builds its textures, sounds and models.
The mod also handles packs that servers protect against unpacking, including corrupted or obfuscated packs that would normally fail to open, and it keeps them usable afterward. It requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. Files are published for Fabric, with 1.1.0 for 26.2 as the latest file, and cover game versions 1.21.8 – 26.2 under the MIT License, which makes it open source.
