📖About ForcePack

ForcePack is an advanced resource pack utility plugin for Spigot and Velocity that aids in deployment and enforcement, among other utilities. The primary goal of the plugin is to ensure reliable serving of your resource pack(s) to clients.

For clients on 1.20.3+, it also supports applying multiple resource packs.

Features

ForcePack's features include, but are not limited to:

  • Support for 1.20.3+ multiple resource packs
  • Ability to set resource packs on a per-version basis
  • Local webserver resource pack hosting
  • Resource pack unloading for subservers without a resource pack
  • Running custom commands when a resource pack status is received
  • Full localisation with MiniMessage support
  • Ignoring bedrock players
  • Validating SHA-1 hashes, resource pack sizes, and auto-generation for hashes
  • Live resource pack reloading/updating
  • Support for 1.17+ resource pack screen
  • Prevents "ESC out" bypass on clients older than 1.13
  • Other basic checks to catch out poorly coded "resource pack bypass" cheats

Note that spoofing cannot be prevented entirely. Resource packs are inevitably client-controlled, thus eventually detection methods will be bypassed.

Installation

Please read our installation documentation for how to install ForcePack.

ForcePack works on all server and supports client versions 1.8-latest. However, note that it requires Java 11, so you will need to make sure to use that if running a server older than 1.17.

FAQ/Support

If you are experiencing issues, please see https://fortitude.islandearth.net/forcepack/configuration#debugging or join our Discord.

Q: I don't get anything when I join!
A: If you are OP (or have the * permission), you will have the permission ForcePack.bypass which means the plugin will not send you the resourcepack. Negate that permission. You may also toggle bypass-permission within the configuration, however this is discouraged.

Q: I get a "failed download" after accepting the resource pack!
A: This has a variety of causes, but your client logs will tell you what's wrong. The most common reasons are your pack is too big, or you are using an older client which is unable to delete old packs properly. Try deleting the server-resource-packs folder in your client folder.

Q: What's the maximum resource pack size?
A:

  • 1.8-1.15: 50 MiB
  • 1.16-1.17: 100 MiB
  • 1.18+: 250 MiB

Q: My resource pack is cleared when switching servers, even though I have it configured on those!?
A: This is most likely because of a mod you are using. The most common mod that sees this happen is Pixelmon. The developers have stated this will not be fixed due to technical limitations. Please enable force-constant-download in your config.

Incompatibilities

  • Minehut Reports of the plugin not working on Minehut and always returning declined status. Not my problem, tell Minehut to fix their servers.

  • ItemsAdder (???) There have been reports of ItemsAdder cancelling the screen even when its sending functionality has been disabled.
