PackMT

PackMT 📦 | MT Studio

PackMT is a powerful, lightweight resource pack manager for Minecraft servers (Spigot/Paper 1.16.5 — 1.20+). The plugin saves administrators from the hassle of manually merging textures or configuring third-party web servers. Simply drop archives or folders into the plugin directory, and it will automatically assemble everything, merge conflicting files, and send the pack to players upon login.

✨ Key Features

• 🧠 Smart Merge: The plugin doesn't just overwrite files. If two different packs contain sounds.json or model files, PackMT carefully merges their contents.
• 🌐 Built-in HTTP Server: The plugin serves the compiled archive to players directly. No need to upload packs to Dropbox or Yandex.Disk, or set up Nginx.
• ⚡ Cross-Version Support (1.16 - 1.20.6+): Automatic adaptation to the server core. On versions 1.20.3+, the plugin uses the new API for sending multi-packs (generating unique UUIDs), while older servers use standard methods.
• 📂 On-the-fly Unpacking: Supports both .zip archives and standard folders. The plugin automatically locates the resource pack root (the assets/ folder), even if the archive was packed incorrectly.
• 💾 Auto-backups: Every time the pack is rebuilt, the previous working archive is saved to the backups/ folder with an exact UTC timestamp.

🛠️ Installation and Setup

1. Download PackMT-1.0.0.jar and place it in your server's plugins/ folder.
2. Restart the server to allow the plugin to create the necessary directories. 3. Place your resource packs (as .zip archives or unzipped folders) into the plugins/PackMT/sources/ folder.
3. Open the plugins/PackMT/config.yml file and configure the build priority.
