Resource Pack Overrides Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
how do I start using resource pack overrides mod?
Open the resource pack selection screen and press R to reload the config file, which is where you define your overrides. The config file is generated on first launch, so edit it while the game is running and reload to see changes immediately.
where is the config file for resource pack overrides?
It lives in your Minecraft instance's config folder, named after the mod. Edit it with any text editor, then press R on the resource pack screen to reload it without restarting the game.
how do I make a resource pack always enabled?
Add the pack to the default/required list in the config file so it stays active even after a reload or a fresh launch. This is what keeps modpack-critical packs from being dropped when something goes wrong.
how do I hide a resource pack from the selection screen?
Mark the pack as hidden in the config, and it disappears from the list players see. This stops players from disabling packs your modpack depends on.
why did my resource pack reset after a reload?
If a pack isn't in the required list, a failed or partial reload can drop it. Add it to the always-enabled list so it survives reloads and restarts.
how do I lock a resource pack so players can't move it?
Set the pack as locked in the config, which makes it required and unmovable in the selection list. Players will see it but can't reorder or disable it.
how do I rename or change the description of a resource pack?
Use the config's name and description overrides for that pack to change what shows in the selection menu. This is useful for cleaning up ugly internal pack names in a modpack.
how do I force a resource pack to show as compatible with my Minecraft version?
Enable the compatibility override for that pack in the config. The mod then presents it as compatible even if its pack format doesn't match your game version.
does resource pack overrides mod work with other resource pack mods?
It generally coexists with other pack-management mods, but if two mods try to control the same pack's enabled state you can get conflicts. Keep pack ordering and required lists defined in one place to avoid fights.
does resource pack overrides mod hurt performance?
The mod only manages pack selection and ordering, so it doesn't add rendering overhead. Any performance change comes from the resource packs themselves, not from this mod.
