ShulkerRRT
by LiPolymer
ShulkerRRT reloads resource packs automatically, so edits to a pack show up in the game without a manual reload.
What it does
The mod watches the vanilla resource pack folder and triggers a reload when files in it change. Paxi resource pack folders can be monitored in the same way. A second option reloads packs whenever the game window regains focus, which suits a workflow where a pack is edited in another program and the result is checked in the game. Each feature can be switched on or off in the configuration file.
ShulkerRRT is a client-side only Fabric mod, so servers do not need it and players do not need to install it on the server. It requires Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin. Files are published for Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.21.6, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest file, released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The source code and issue tracker are public.

Use cases
Pack authoring
A pack author edits textures or models in an external editor and sees each change in the game as soon as the file is saved.
Who it’s for: Resource pack creators and players who edit packs often. Players who only install finished packs have little to gain from automatic reloading.
How it compares
Load My Overlay is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21 – 1.21.10 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and it is open source. Resource Switcher is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.20.1 – 1.21 under the MIT License, also open source, so it covers an older range than ShulkerRRT. Tooltips DLP8 is a Fabric client-side mod for 1.21.6 – 1.21.8 that is not open source and is under All rights reserved.
