Simple Resource Loader

by Patbox

Simple Resource Loader lets a modpack load resource packs and data packs from a few fixed folders, with no configuration file to edit.

What it does

Placing a pack in one folder makes it load as both a resource pack and a data pack, while placing it in another folder adds it only as a resource pack that players can switch off. The mod is published for Fabric and Quilt, with builds for 1.21 – 26.3 and 1.1.0+26.1 as the latest Fabric file. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. The code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source is public.

Key features

  1. Always-loaded packs

    Packs placed in the required common folder load as both resource and data packs every time the game starts.

  2. Toggleable resource packs

    Packs placed in the optional resource pack folder appear as resource packs that players can enable or disable.

  3. No configuration

    The loader is set up by folder layout alone, so there is no option screen or config file to maintain.

What the author says

For example, if you put a pack in resources/common/required/, it will always load as both resource pack and data pack, but resources/resourcepack/optional/ will add it as only a toggleable resource pack.
