Shared Resources Mod Wiki & Guide

Launch Minecraft with the mod installed, and you'll see a prompt asking you to select or create a global directory—this is where shared files will be stored. Choose a location outside your instance folders (like a dedicated folder on your drive), and the mod will handle the rest. After selection, restart Minecraft to begin using shared resources.

Yes, if the resource pack is compatible with both versions. Place it in the global resource packs folder, and it will appear in the resource pack selection screen for all instances that use the shared directory. The mod merges global and local packs, so you can also keep version-specific packs in individual instance folders.

The mod attempts to merge them—for most files, you'll see both options available and can choose which to use. If merging isn't possible, local files typically take priority, but the exact behavior depends on the file type.

Only well-coded mods that store configs in the standard Fabric config folder will sync. The mod shares the config directory itself, so mods following proper conventions will automatically share settings, but poorly-coded mods that store configs elsewhere won't be affected.
