How to Add a Resource Pack to Your Minecraft Server

This guide explains how to upload a resource pack using MinecraftPack.net and make it automatically download for players when they join your Minecraft server.

Requirements

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A Minecraft server

  • A resource pack in .zip format

  • Access to your server's server.properties file

Step 1: Upload Your Resource Pack

Visit https://minecraftpack.net/.

  1. Click on the upload button.

  2. Select your resource pack .zip file.

  3. Wait for the upload to complete.

Once finished, MinecraftPack.net will generate:

  • A direct download link

  • A SHA-1 hash for your resource pack

Step 2: Configure Your Server

Open your server's server.properties file and locate the following settings:

resource-pack=
resource-pack-sha1=

Paste the values provided by MinecraftPack.net:

resource-pack=https://minecraftpack.net/download/your-pack.zip
resource-pack-sha1=YOUR_SHA1_HASH

Replace the example values with the link and SHA-1 hash generated for your upload.

Step 3: Save and Restart

  1. Save the server.properties file.

  2. Restart your Minecraft server.

After the server starts, players joining your server will automatically be prompted to download and apply the resource pack.

Troubleshooting

Players aren't receiving the resource pack

  • Verify that the resource-pack URL is correct.

  • Ensure the resource-pack-sha1 value matches the uploaded file.

  • Restart the server after making changes.

  • Confirm the uploaded resource pack is a valid .zip file.

The resource pack doesn't update

If you upload a new version of the pack, update both the download link (if it changed) and the SHA-1 hash in server.properties, then restart your server.
