Hello, PixelHost Community! 🎮👋

Today, we’re going to talk about how to add a resource pack to your Minecraft server. We know you want your server to look amazing, so here’s an easy guide to help you achieve that.

Adding a resource pack to your Minecraft server is an excellent way to give the game’s visuals a unique and special touch for your community. With thousands of texture packs available, the possibilities are endless! Although it might seem complicated, we’ll guide you step-by-step to ensure everything goes perfectly. 😎

Finding a Resource Pack

1. Choose a pack from an official site like CurseForge. 🌟

   Tip: Always ensure the pack is compatible with the version of Minecraft you’re using.

2. Download the pack. 📂

   Common Issue❌: Downloading the wrong pack or losing track of where it was saved. 🛠

   Solution✔️: Make sure to select the correct file and always save it in an easily accessible folder.

Uploading the Resource Pack with MCPacks

1. Visit the MCPacks website. 🌐 Your best friend for this task!

2. Click "Choose File" 📁 and select your resource pack file.

3. Use the "Upload" button to process the pack. ⏳

4. Once the resource pack is uploaded, note the download URL and the SHA-1 hash; you’ll need these later.

Preparing the Server with MCPacks

• Navigate to your PixelHost server panel and stop the server. 🛑

• Select "Files" and open the "server.properties" file.

• In the "resource-pack" line, paste the URL you saved earlier. Remember? It should look like this:

• resource-pack=https://yourpackurlhere

• Now, find the "resource-pack-sha1" line and paste the SHA-1 hash:

• resource-pack-sha1=yourSHA1hashhere

• (Optional): You can require players to have the resource pack to join the server. If you want this option, find the line "require-resource-pack=false" and change it to "true". It should look like this:

• Save the changes and start the server.

Inside Minecraft

1. Go to "Multiplayer" and find your server.

2. As you can see, we’ve uploaded the resource pack correctly and changed the settings to make the download mandatory.

3. Click "Proceed" to start downloading the resource pack.

4. Once inside the server, check "Resource Packs" to confirm it downloaded correctly.

   Note: Some resource packs require additional mods like OptiFine to function properly.

And that’s it!! Now you know how to upload a resource pack to your server, and you also learned how to make the download mandatory for players!
