While installing a resource pack to your server can be tricky, we will walk you through the process to ensure a smooth installation.

How to Install

Configuring Your Server

   Common Issues

   FPS is dropping after you install the pack

   If a player is getting this issue, the resource pack may be too intense for their computer to handle. Using a less demanding pack for the server will allow players to use the pack with less worry for lag.

   Players clicking Yes on the resource pack popup but nothing changes.

   If when the player clicks “Yes” on the popup and nothing happens, this is generally due to an issue with the link inputted in the server settings. First, make sure that the Dropbox was set to “Anyone with the link can see it.” and that the link was changed from https://www.dropbox.com/somestring…?dl=0 to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/somestring…?dl=1. This can also be from the texture pack not being made for the server version you are running.
