Keep The ResourcePack: A Workaround for Persistent Resource Packs

Free your PC from endless resource pack reloading!

The problem is familiar to everyone who plays on servers with their own resource packs. With every login and logout, the server reloads the resource pack from scratch, forcing the system to work idle. This is especially annoying for owners of older and mid-range computers — constant lags occur during every such session.

The Keep The ResourcePack mod fixes this annoying bug by setting the server resource pack as a permanently active template. After the initial download, the pack is saved in the cache and subsequently loaded automatically when the game starts.

How this simplifies life for players:

• Resource pack doesn't unload after leaving the server
• No need to download the same data every time
• Game startup becomes faster as loading happens from disk

Benefits for modpack creators and server administrators: It's now possible to store the resource pack on the server rather than inside the modpack distribution. This radically simplifies pack updates — just replace the files on the server, and they will update for all players automatically.
