View Server Resources
by shyweg
View Server Resources lets players inspect a server resource pack URL before any transfer starts, on Fabric and Quilt.
What it does
Normally a client accepts a server resource pack without asking, and the player only learns about it afterward. This mod shows the pack URL first, so the player can see where the files would come from before they arrive. Individual server packs can be accepted or refused one at a time, and a chat message reports which packs were fetched or turned off.
A whitelist lets players allow specific pack URLs or sites, so packs from trusted hosts can load while others stay blocked. Settings are changed through the config screen, which is reached from Mod Menu when that mod is installed. The mod is client-side only, so players run it alone and servers need nothing extra. It is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and requires Fabric API, which must be present for it to load.
Builds exist for 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric and Quilt, with 1.0.3-1.21.9 as the latest file for 1.21.11, and the mod is maintained on public source and issue pages.
Key features
Pack URL preview
The address of a server resource pack is shown before its files are fetched, so the source is visible in advance.
Per-pack decisions
Each server resource pack can be accepted or declined on its own, instead of every server pack being accepted automatically.
URL whitelist
Specific pack URLs or sites can be allowed, so packs from chosen hosts load and other packs are blocked.
Session chat messages
A chat message reports which server resource packs were fetched or turned off during a session.
