Installation

1. Download the latest release
2. Place the JAR file in your server's plugins folder
3. Start/restart your server
4. A packs folder will be created in plugins/Resourceloader/
5. Place your resource pack files in the packs folder
6. Configure the packs in config.yml
7. Use /resourcereload to apply changes

File-based Resource Packs

To use file-based resource packs:

1. Place your .zip resource pack files in the plugins/Resourceloader/packs/ folder
2. In config.yml, use just the filename (e.g., "my-pack.zip") instead of a full URL
3. The plugin will automatically look for the file in the packs folder

URL-based Resource Packs

For URL-based packs:

1. Use the complete URL in config.yml (e.g., "https://example.com/pack.zip")
2. Ensure the URL is directly downloadable
3. The URL must point to a valid Minecraft resource pack .zip file
