Server ResourcePack Manager
by jimchen5209
Server ResourcePack Manager lets a dedicated server apply several resource packs to its players in a defined order, and re-apply them on demand.
What it does
Server ResourcePack Manager handles multiple resource packs on one server, including the multi-pack format that Minecraft introduced in its newer releases. The server computes each pack's hash automatically, so clients can verify what they receive. Packs are applied in the order they appear in the configuration file, and when the same pack key appears more than once, the first occurrence takes precedence. Applied packs are listed in the in-game settings menu in that same order.
Server owners edit a simple configuration file to define the pack list. The reload command refreshes the packs without restarting the server, and the send command re-applies them to a player. Installation requires Fabric on the server, with Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin installed beside the mod. The mod is released for 1.21.10 and 1.21.11, and its builds run only on the server, so players join without installing anything. The code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Multiple resource packs
A server can offer a list of packs, each applied in turn, rather than a single pack.
Automatic pack hashing
The mod calculates the hash of each pack, so the pack version a player receives can be checked.
Live reload
The reload command updates the resource packs without a server restart.
Re-apply to a player
The send command pushes the configured packs to a single player again.
