Server Resourcepack Checker Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I know if the mod is working?
When you join a server with a resource pack you've already cached, you should see significantly reduced or no loading bar delay. Check your logs for hash comparison messages, or compare join times before and after installing the mod.
Where does the mod store cached resource packs?
The mod stores cached packs in your standard Minecraft resource pack folder, using file hashes to identify which packs you already have so it doesn't re-download them.
What happens if the server's resource pack changes?
The mod compares file hashes between your cached version and the server's version; if they don't match, the mod will download the new pack and update your cache.
Do I need to do anything to enable caching?
No, the mod works automatically once installed—it checks your cached packs against server packs without any configuration needed.
Will this mod work with servers that force resource packs?
Yes, the mod works with forced server resource packs; it just skips the download and loading bar if you already have that exact pack cached.
Can I manually clear my cached resource packs?
Yes, you can delete resource packs from your resource pack folder like normal, and the mod will re-download them the next time you join a server that uses them.
Does this mod affect single-player or local servers?
The mod is designed for multiplayer servers; it has minimal or no effect on single-player worlds since there are no server resource packs to compare.
What if two servers use the same resource pack file but with different names?
The mod uses file hashes to identify packs, so it will recognize that they're identical and skip downloading the duplicate, regardless of the filename.
Does this mod cause any lag or performance issues?
No, the mod is lightweight and only performs quick hash comparisons; it actually improves performance by reducing unnecessary downloads and loading screens.
Is this mod compatible with other resource pack mods?
The mod should work alongside most resource pack management mods, but if you experience conflicts, check that only one mod is handling server pack downloads at a time.
