Resource Pack Overrides Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) – Force-Enable Resource Packs in Modpacks

Q: Where do I configure the resource pack settings?

Settings are stored in the file .minecraft/config/resourcepackoverrides.json. This is where you define default packs, order, and overrides.

Resource Pack Overrides Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) is a specialized utility mod built with modpack developers in mind. It ensures critical resource packs are always active and correctly ordered, even if a player forgets to enable them manually. By taking control of the resource pack system, this mod eliminates the risk of broken visuals, missing textures, or gameplay errors due to user error.

Whether you’re developing a professional-grade modpack or a curated multiplayer server experience, this mod guarantees consistent visuals and performance by locking in the resource packs you depend on.

Features:

Force-Enabled Resource Packs
Automatically enables specified resource packs every time the game is launched. These remain active even after a failed pack reload or client restart.
Hidden & Locked Packs
Optionally hide certain resource packs from the user interface to prevent tampering, or lock their position to preserve modpack integrity.
Stable Load Order
Maintain a fixed and reliable pack order, which is crucial when multiple packs override the same textures or language files.
Custom Display Options
Override how packs appear in the selection menu:
- Rename packs
- Change descriptions
- Force compatibility with current Minecraft versions
- Mark as required or unmovable
In-Game Debug Tools
Use hotkeys on the Resource Pack screen:
- Hold R to reload config
- Press D to show internal pack IDs
- C to copy a pack ID
- T to restore default pack configuration
Config File Setup
All settings are stored in config/resourcepackoverrides.json. You can use group overrides to apply consistent settings across multiple packs.
Built-in Pack Support
Even internal packs (like Fabric API, mod-generated assets, or vanilla Minecraft packs) are compatible with the ordering system.
