ResourcePackNoUpload
by Robsutar
ResourcePackNoUpload lets a Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur, Folia or Velocity server distribute a resource pack to players without uploading it to external hosting.
What it does
The mod serves a resource pack from the server itself. A configured provider loads the pack from a folder, a zip archive or a web address, and the plugin sends the link to each joining player. Server administrators can build configuration templates with the RNU tool, so the setup works without extra changes, and the plugin config can be reloaded with a single command.
Fabric is the only loader listed for this mod, and Fabric API is required alongside it. ResourcePackNoUpload is released under the MIT License and is open source, with a source code repository, an issue tracker and a wiki linked from its page. Files exist for 1.8.8 – 1.21.8, and the latest Fabric file is 1.16.2 for 1.20.1, published 2025-07-24.
Key features
Server-side resource pack hosting
A resource pack is served from the server, so server administrators do not need an external hosting service.
Multiple pack providers
Packs can be loaded from a folder, a zip file or a web address, with custom HTTP headers supported.
Merged packs
Several providers can be merged into one pack, with the first providers in the list taking priority.

Use cases

Who it’s for: Server owners who want to distribute a resource pack from their own server and manage its contents through the plugin configuration.
How it compares
PassiveWhitelist is a Fabric mod under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, open source, for 1.19 – 26.3, and it handles whitelisting rather than packs. ResourcePack Server is server-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.19 – 1.21.1, so players join without installing anything. ServerPackUnlockerPlus is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and covers 1.19.2 – 1.19.4, so it only needs to be on the player's side.
