How to Use Combat Plus on Multiplayer Servers Without Experimental Toggles

Combat Plus is a pure texture replacement rather than a behavior addon. Because it does not add custom entities or alter game mechanics, you do not need to enable experimental gameplay toggles in your world settings, and you can use it freely on multiplayer servers.

Enabling the Pack in Global Resources

To make sure your tool belt and weapon accessories show up across all your singleplayer worlds and multiplayer servers, activate the pack in your global settings instead of a single world's menu:

1. From the main title screen, open Settings.

2. Scroll down the sidebar and select Global Resources.

3. Open the My Packs tab, select the Combat Plus Texture Pack, and click Activate.

4. Exit the settings screen and allow the game to reload its textures.

Playing on Multiplayer Servers

Once activated under Global Resources, join any multiplayer server as you normally would. Unless the server forces a locked resource pack that overrides player models, your hotbar items—such as swords, shields, arrows, and totems—will immediately display on your character's back and belt without requiring the server owner to install anything.
