ResourcePackDownloader is an absolute gem for any Minecraft server that relies on a custom resource pack. At last there’s a solution that just works—no awkward work‑arounds, no confused players, and no frantic troubleshooting sessions for administrators. The plugin’s clean design, flexible callback system, and effortless “pack‑on‑join” prompt give server owners exactly what they need to keep their worlds looking and sounding exactly as intended.

Huge thanks go first and foremost to the plugin’s author for sharing this polished tool with the community. Gratitude is also due to Notch, whose original sandbox idea made all this possible, and to Mojang Studios for stewarding Minecraft’s ongoing evolution. The tireless maintainers of SpigotMC deserve recognition for providing a rock‑solid API and forum where innovations like this can thrive, as do the countless open‑source contributors who keep the ecosystem vibrant. From the Java core developers to the documentation writers and Discord helpers, every layer of effort shows.

If you need a lightweight, reliable, and highly configurable way to enforce or distribute a resource pack, look no further—ResourcePackDownloader is exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

Very nice plugin, but "Use-Join-Bypass-Permission: There is a problem with the "RPD.bypass.join" permission check of true". I made a button that switches the "true" or "false" of "RPD.bypass.join" in the player's LuckPerms when clicked, but unfortunately, When "Use-Join-Bypass-Permission: true" is set, players will not receive material pack push regardless of whether they have permission or not. I will revise my assessment when the problem is resolved

Very good plugin!!! it is well made and I'd say its a good one! question:
will it be updated for 1.19?

How can I use multiple resourcespack?
There is only one link in the config file .

GOOOOOOD PLUGIN BUT SPAMMING THE CONSOLE :'( PLEASE FIX THAT, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's working thanks you very much it's very really ultra useful for me thanks author for this plugin thanks spigotmc for this plugin thanks notch for this plugin

Insane plugin ! i love it

PS: I want to give credit to tncc which did a funny meme just below me lmao (if you don't understand, compare it with the post below him from "xxBoWiExx")

Great support my god.
I asked something and me and got the message very quickly.

If you want a well supported resource pack plugin, then this is the plugin for you.

So bad support oh my god.
I Asked something and I have not answered for days.

If you want a well-supported resource pack plugin, this is not the one for you.

Very good plugin! Tested and worked on Purpur 1.16.5! 5 stars for sure .

Works great with 1.16.5 and 1.17 but I wish there was a feature to include a Per client version resourcepack.
So if a client connects from MC 1.14, it should give out the link for 1.14 and if another client connects from 1.17 it should give out the 1.17 version.
This requirement comes from the existence of ViaBackwards, ViaVersion plugins that give backwards and forward compatibility

If you got error cannot download texture pack... try to compress your file with .zip, i use .rar it cause error. work well for 1.16.5

Errors, i cant even set it up.. I set it up 100% right and it tells me, that there was an error with downloading, if you help me, i can change my mind and rating this plugin.

Really good plugin but a bug that I just found which causes the resource pack to get send again and again :P
Though it was just a experiment I did but ya if anyone accidently does that then Yes your server is broke congratulations! happy celebrations :)

OTHER THEN THAT THIS plugin is real good :) wish if someone could continue it, I will try today though I am just a newbie to java still will be not too hard to change the added external archive and the imports dot know about the other consequences though will ofc give full credit to original dev!

Btw Kisaragi a guy who replied like half a year below in the review section try using older version! that's the first think you should do when you using a mainly latest version supporting plugin in literally 1.12 :P K if you by chance read this try it :) or for some other players who want help with that

Works great for 1.16.5. Setting "Send-Resourcepack-On-Join" will make the resource pack "automatically" send.

In my case, I did a bit of custom coding to make it so the resource pack only sends after authenticating with a /login command.

However, you could just as easily force players to walk over command blocks for the same effect.

Can u add protect-file-from-unzip like item adder please
it world be greatttttttt!

NICE PLUGIN EVER RECOMMEDED!!!

----------------------------------
can you add a command for users that want automatic resource pack instalattion? because users need to do /rp for install the resource pack, but someone want use for example /rp automatic, that way each time the users join the lobby actomatically will install the resource pack, I know in config there is a option for that! but some users dont want this :( that's why it will be nice a command for user like /rp automatic

amazing plugin :)))

.

It's a simple yet customizable plugin. Does what it promises. Works on spigot 1.16.4!

I just have one question. I gave denied the texture-pack (/rp) once. And when i try to do /rp agian. it will say: "You have declined the resource-pack request!" So, how can i fix it so when i type /rp agian, it will work (dont decline) ?

The Plugin works fine for me, but not on my Paperspigot 1.16.3 Server. Please add 1.16.4 Support!

Working on 1.16.1 paper :)

Minecraft Server : 1.12.2
How can fix it?

good plugin but I have a question I accidentally denied the resource pack and now it doesnt give me the option to install it again

This looks so good, but i have a problem and question.
so i have a bungee server with different minecraft versions and my map need a specific version to run properly (1.12.2) and i have a resource pack for it i tried to add server resource and it worked on 1.12.2 but not 1.13.2 and if i forced somebody to add the resourcepack manualy in 1.12.2 and then try to join from 1.13 the game wont start and crash.

so my question is can i if i have my 1.12.2 texturepack by able to join from 1.13+ and still be able to use it or can i make some sort of version protocol detector to change the texture pack that would be send?
(i have the 1.12.2 and 1.13+ texturepack)

Very good resource, work in spigot 1.15.2 :D, add this version in compatible versions!

Excellent plugin, been using it for years. Even made the tutorial a bit ago, that was fun. Very lightweight and has great options for different uses, and the ability to run commands based on how it goes is fabulous.

Is it possible to add the ability to send different resource packs based on which client version the user is running, for instances where servers are using ViaVersion? Server resource packs don't like being added if it's for an incompatible version specified in the pack's MCMETA file and this would be great for those instances.

Hey! I have a problem, on my server. The server version is 1.12.2, and couple of people get back error message on join, and they dont load in the resource pack, but the other players do. What can I do?

i have three qustion with this pllugins :
1:can this plugins work for 1.13/+ ?
2:can this plugins have more then one resource pack?
3:if Q2 is avalible , can i set different plugins for different world?

Thank you. My cool resource pack Kick me beacuse client try download resource pack EVERY TIME when i join , BUT this plugin fix it.

And please , can you add action in config when player download resource pack?Like *player in GUI click to download resourcepack* - Command Op /off-resourcepack-alert
[code example]
when downloaded:
#Message,command,OPcomand,ConsoleCommand
Message:
- 'Thank for downloading resource pack!'
ConsoleCommand:
- '/ResourceSkript confirm %player_name%'
[end of example]

Server: Resource pack time!!!
I: NO!!!
I: Now, resource pack time start when i say.

Is there a way to make the resource pack download mandatory??????????????????????????????

Amazing plugin! I was just wondering if you can do a way to download multiple server resource packs into the same world for example (someone else tried this but it didn't seem to work) where you have different commands for different packs like rp,rp1,rp2
Resourcepack: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mcfe6mt7qo4kp7a/Valius_Resource_Pack_32.zip?dl=1
Is-Global: true
Command:
Command: rp1
Is-Case-Sensitive: false
Resourcepack2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vb4sdrdvoib8471/Valius_Resource_Pack_16.zip?dl=1
Is-Global: true
Command:
Command: rp2
Is-Case-Sensitive: false
Resourcepack3: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v0lgimixv2guiqm/Valius_Resourcepack_ModelsGuns_Only.zip?dl=1
Is-Global: true
Command:
Command: rp3
Is-Case-Sensitive: false
Events:
Join:
Use-Bypass-Permission: false
Bypass-Permission: RPD.bypassjoin
Send-On-Join: false

Thanks!!

A problem that got me for days: The direct download to the .zip of the resource pack CANNOT have another folder within it for the pack: you have to select everything in the unzipped resource pack (for me, the assets folder and mcmeta file), then zip THAT. After discovering this, the plugin worked perfectly!

Compared to 3 or so other plugins like this, RPD seems to have the most features - for example, this is the only one I've seen that supports per-world resource packs.

So for that, 5/5 :)

- Can you make it work with 1.14?
- Does the download have a file-size restriction? (because minecraft has)
- Do I need to remove the resource-pack and sha1 settings in the server.properties?
- Can It download the resource-pack without asking the player?

Many thanks :)

Hello, please add a function so that when people logged on to the server they needed to accept the resource pack whether they kicked or people could not move until they accept the resource pack, please add this

Nice plugin. Works well on 1.12.2.

Nice plugin.................................................................................

Doesn't work for me, it always teels me "failed to download texture pack" and kicks everyone even if they have the correct one

Works well,

is it possible you could make it so the player can choose between multiple packs on the same world?

I tried to trick your pluin into doing it like this :DD

Hello, I have a problem and that is that when I put a URL in some world of config plugin, when entering the world, I accept the request and I skipped failed to download pack

Working with 1.12.2. Nice to be able to force palyers to use a resourcepack! Really nice and useful plugin.

Very good plugin! Useful for RPG pack downloads

80 characters

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The plugin works excellent, Better then all the other plugins i found.
The only problem that i am having with the plugin is that the messages.yml resets itself after a reload / restart.

This is a very good plugin. Can I move to the China mcbbs forum? Http://www.mcbbs.net/

Can I make the instructions for installing the resourcepack in the chestcommands plugin and DeluxeMenus plugin? I tried for a long time did not succeed. QAQ

Thank you for this plugin I really appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10 A+

Nice plugin but theres some errors fix this please ? give me the irl dropbox of it that only works for it https://www.dropbox.com/personal?preview=Infected+RPG+Resource+Pack.zip

Thank you very much! best plugin ever!
---------------------------------------------------

It works well... BUT i cant figure out multiworld support... Any help (a video would be nice) please help :) [if you need a video made you could show me how to use it and i can make one on my youtube channel www.youtube.com/silverhuskey ]

Looks like a epic plugin but for some reason it will not sure if u can help me thanks my version is 1.11.2 :d xD

Looking good so far! Could be a 5 star but I've got an error where the user isn't enabling the texture pack after downloading it. Any idea why? Thanks.

Amazing plugin, exactly what my server has needed. I've also made a Youtube tutorial in ENGLISH if you want to see. If the author could PM me about it for his approval, I'd like to have it posted.

OMG THIS PLUGIN IS SO GOOD PLAYERS WITH SETTINGS OF RESOURCE PACK TO DISABLE CAN FINALLY GET THE RESOURCE PACK THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN

very cool plugin but how to put many ressources pack ? more than 1 ?
.....................................

I can't seem to get this to work... when i accept the resource pack i just get an error message 'There was an error downloading the resource pack, please inform the staff members!'

I am using this URL: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/80cav0e7adppu6d/oCd Pack.zip

Any ideas why it's not working?

Realy cool plugin, but if an player have the setting: server-resourcepack: promt

nothing will happen, not even an kick, so i need to tell the players that they need to put it on Enabled :P

works perfect!


Sorry for my bad syntax, I'am Dutch :P

Wonderful plugin, latest fixes the java errors I got on player log in/out. However, the config node "send-resourcepack-on-join" doesn't seem to work, as players still have to use /rp to download it after joining. Is this a bug or just an incorrectly formatted config? http://hastebin.com/suwedikudo.rb

It is a fabulous plugin and really helps my server apply its automatic resource pack, however I get a massive java error on player connect or disconnect. The logs can be found here: http://hastebin.com/badefucira.avrasm Please let me know if you have a solution to this.

PLZ update to 1.9 because this is really nice but not a 1.9 v and many are moving to it (even me). can you make 1 for 1.9??

Not all RPs behave the same, I suspect this is sometimes breaking it, but most do work and it saves me a lot of time in configuring stuff for the kids.

Doesnt work throws error whenever player joins or does the resource download command http://hastebin.com/ofahafuleg.avrasm

awesome wow nice .

Please Update It, because the code might be outdated and glitch I'm getting a but which I have submitted in the discussion page!

Epic, it is possible to have in one world a specific texturepack and in the others the texturepack, which the User choosen?

Good but If I did not create the "server-resource-packs" folder it wont work.
So, can we create it automatical with this plugin?

- Server Resource Packs not downloading: "Internal Exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter 'directory' is not a directory"

Awesome, Beautiful, Crazy, All we need, if you dont download this go lick yourself....10/10

Good plugin and great developer ;)

İts Enough Add These PLEASE!
+ Add a kick player method that kicks the player if they declined the pack.
+ Add command if a player accepted/decline the pack

Bro good work but i gonna request you a thing that can be hard but will be the best:
- Resource Packs by worlds and eich world have one wat we want :D

Hello, you may remember me from down below in the reviews section.

This plugin is extraordinary! I have used it for months and it has so much potential!

I just want one thing out of it xD:
Make it so you can do multiple resource packs!

<3 Jacko

I love this plugin

GOOD JOBB!!!!

Works with the command but not on join even when set to true /:

Great Plugin! I Don't need To Go Through all the Server Properties and Players Can Just Do a Command To Choose to Get it or Not!

Very nice! Add please forse pack download, and kick if player do not accept pack

Nice plugin! Hope you can add an option to disable the confirming, which is really annoying :)

Works great but there are a few shenanigans with the way the command works.

Very good but the texturepack is disabled when people leave the server :(

AMAZING Plugin! Does exactly what it says! 5/5 stars

Nice Plugin Man!
