Hey, HolyHosting community! 🎮👋

Today, we’re going to talk about how to add a resource pack to your Minecraft server. We know you want your server to look amazing, so here’s a simple guide to help you make it happen.

Find a Resource Pack

• Choose a pack from an official site like CurseForge. 🌟

Tip: Always make sure the pack is compatible with the version of Minecraft you’re using.

• Then, download the pack. 📂

Uploading the Resource Pack with MCPacks

• Visit the MCPacks website. 🌐 Your best friend for this!

• Click "Choose File" 📁 and select your resource pack file.

  Then, use the "Upload" button to process the pack. ⏳

• Once the resource pack is uploaded, make sure to note the download URL and the SHA-1 hash, as we’ll need them later.

Preparing the Server with MCPacks

• Go to your HolyHosting server panel and stop the server. 🛑

• Then, go to Files and open the server.properties file.

  Inside Minecraft

  Go to Multiplayer and find your server.

• As you can see, we successfully uploaded the resource pack and configured it to be mandatory for download.
