Topic category: Help with modding (Java Edition)
I'm trying to make a modpack with optional resource packs that the user can't delete, but there aren't any mods i can find that can do that. The closest one I found is Paxi, which is a global resource/datapack mod. Then I remembered that you can put resource packs inside of a mod in a folder called resourcepacks in the same location as the assets folder, so I created an MCreator project to try that out... only for it to not work at all. The logs doesn't say that the resource pack "[resource pack name]" contains an invalid pack.mcmeta file or something along those lines. Plus, when I put them inside of the resourcepacks folder of the Minecraft instance, it works. I have NO IDEA how to accomplish this. I tried to look at the source code of Create's fabric port only to find no reference to anything related to resource packs.
To replicate this:
- Create a Fabric mod (with the 3rd-party Fabric generator extension)
- Wait for the workspace to finish being generated
- Create a folder called
resourcepacksatsrc/main/resources(relative to the workspace folder) - Copy an un-zipped version of a resource pack of your choice into the folder you just created (and rename the resource pack's folder so that it has only lowercase letters and underscores!)
- Start the Minecraft instance that MCreator has created for you by clicking on the green triangle in the top-right corner of the MCreator window
- Navigate into the in-game resource packs menu
- WHERE RESOURCE PACKS
