Minecraft allows you to configure resource packs, with which it is possible to customize textures, models, music, sounds, languages, texts, splashes, credits and fonts. While resource packs can be easily added in the client, adding them to a Minecraft server can be a bit more challenging. In this article we will explain how to easily add a resource pack to your Minecraft server on Powerupstack.

FAQ

What is the resource pack SHA-1 for?

SHA-1 is a checksum algorithm, that is used by the Minecraft client to check the integrity of the downloaded resource pack. Additionally if the SHA-1 is different from the resource pack that the client has previously downloaded (cached), then the client will download the updated resource pack.
