A server side resource pack gets pushed to players automatically when they connect, so you can roll out custom textures, sounds, and more without anyone installing anything manually.

​
Getting a Resource Pack Ready

Start by creating or downloading the resource pack you want players to use.

​
Hosting the Pack

Your game server can’t serve the file itself, so it needs to live somewhere with a direct download link. mc-packs.net is a common choice for this.
  1. Go to mc-packs.net.
  2. Upload the pack as a zip file. Larger packs take longer depending on your upload speed.
  3. Once it finishes, the site returns a download URL and a SHA-1 hash. Hold onto both, you’ll need them shortly.

​
Configuring the Server

  1. Log into the panel at gamepanel.fourseasonshosting.com and select your server.
  2. Stop the server from the Console tab.
  3. Go to the Files tab and open server.properties.
  4. On the resource-pack= line, paste in the download URL.
  5. On the resource-pack-sha1= line, paste in the SHA-1 hash.
  6. Save your changes and restart the server.
Once it’s back online, players will get a prompt to download the pack the moment they join. The require-resource-pack= setting in the same file controls whether accepting the pack is mandatory or optional.

​
Troubleshooting

If players aren’t getting the pack correctly, run through these checks:
  • Confirm the pack was built for the same Minecraft version the server is running, mismatched versions often show up as broken or missing textures.
  • Double check the SHA-1 hash matches the uploaded file exactly.
  • Make sure resource-pack points straight to a .zip file and isn’t a page link or redirect.
