World Packs
by Harunbouz
World Packs lets a Minecraft world carry its own ordered stack of resource packs, so the packs travel with the save.
What it does
Each world keeps its own resource pack list, set from the Edit Resource Packs screen opened on a singleplayer world. Packs are chosen and reordered by drag in priority order. The pack files are kept in the save itself, so the world can be moved to another machine with its packs intact. Reordering or removing a pack can be undone, since the list is kept with the world rather than merged into the files.
On a server, the packs are sent to joining players, who receive them automatically even when they run an unmodded vanilla client. Players who decline or fail to load the packs cannot join. Only the host needs the mod installed; the host also gets the same packs applied locally when the world is opened. Deleting the worldpacks.json file returns the world to stock resources.
World Packs is published for Fabric only, with a single file for game version 26.2, 0.1.0, released 2026-08-17 under the MIT License. The mod is not open source.
Key features
Per-world resource packs
A world gets its own ordered list of resource packs, independent of the packs used by other worlds on the same computer.
Priority ordering
Packs in the list are arranged by drag, and the order decides which pack's textures take precedence.
Packs stored in the world
Pack files are copied into the world folder, so the save keeps working when it is moved or shared.
Reversible changes
The list is kept with the world, so packs can be reordered or removed later, and removing the worldpacks.json file restores stock resources.
Vanilla client delivery
Packs are delivered to players joining a server, including players on unmodded vanilla clients.

What the author says
Give a Minecraft world its own ordered stack of resource packs. Every player who joins is required to load them, even vanilla clients. Merging resource packs by hand is painful and irreversible. This keeps them as a list you can reorder or undo at any time, stored with the world rather than baked into it.
