# Better Server Packs (BSP)
\nBetter Server Packs is a project that aims to replace the oftentimes annoying
\nvanilla implementation of Server Resourcepacks. It does this by calculating the
\nresourcepack’s sha1-hash itself, saving it in a file for caching.<\/p>\n
## What is wrong with Server Resourcepacks?
\nThe issue Server Resourcepacks face currently is that all config about them
\n(including the hash) is stored in the server.properties file. Although hashes are
\ntechnically optional for servers, not using one will cause all sorts of
\nweirdness when updating the resourcepack resulting in packs not updating on the
\nclient. <\/p>\n
Using a hash on the other hand, requires a server restart for every update of
\nthe resourcepack and hashes are also a pain to compute.
\n(Often tools will generate incorrect hashes for a file.)<\/p>\n
## How does BSP solve this problem?
\nBSP removes the need for server restarts by implementing its own logic
\nessentially replacing the vanilla system. BSP also calculates the hash on its
\nown solving the issue of finding a functional hash generator and increasing
\nease of use.<\/p>\n
BSP provides a simple and responsive command interface for operators through
\na new `\/pack` command through which all on-demand functionalities of the plugin
\ncan be modified and used.<\/p>\n
BSP also allows caching of the resource pack hash to increase boot times.<\/p>\n
## Commands These subcommands serve the following functions.<\/p>\n ### `set` This command sets the url of the server resourcepack. Simply pass the URL of the *Note that this follows the same restrictions as a regular server resourcepack. ### `reload` Recalculates the resourcepack hash. This should be called after updating the Reloading the resourcepack is done asynchronously, doing will, disregarding edge ## Permissions Replaces the regular server resource pack logic. No pesky restarts needed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"better-server-packs","_minecraft_project_id":"9y9aRicr","_minecraft_author":"Fisch37","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":454,"_minecraft_follows":5,"_minecraft_client_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"better-server-packs.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":63331,"_minecraft_version_count":2,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T10:45:49.265652Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2023-07-08T03:57:29.141986Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2023-08-28T16:20:02.383132Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/better-server-packs","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":0,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T11:56:30+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"a07f51f7db0501092eb0fdc4496f6911","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[124,126,127,867,129,92],"mod_loader":[130,132,134],"minecraft_version":[54,55,56,57,58,59,36],"class_list":["post-29263","mod","type-mod","status-publish","hentry","mod_category-bukkit","mod_category-management","mod_category-paper","mod_category-social","mod_category-spigot","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-bukkit","mod_loader-paper","mod_loader-spigot","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-19-1","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-19-3","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1"],"yoast_head":"\n
\nBSP adds one new command `\/pack` to your server with the following command tree:
\n+ `\/pack`
\n + [`set [
\n + [`reload [push]`](#reload)<\/p>\n
\n`\/pack set [
\npack as an argument. Passing no argument will set no resourcepack, effectively
\ndisabling the plugin.<\/p>\n
\nThe link must be “direct”, meaning it cannot lead to a webpage, but must lead to
\nthe file itself.*<\/p>\n
\n`\/pack reload [push]`<\/p>\n
\nresourcepack to ensure new players can receive the pack correctly. This is not
\nnecessary after restarting the server. Passing “push” as an argument will update the resourcepack for all active
\nplayers.<\/p>\n
\ncases, not impact server performance. <\/p>\n
\nBSP implements four total permissions to regulate usage of the commands. These
\ncan be modified through permission plugins like LuckPerms without issue.
\nThe following permissions are implemented:
\n+ `betterserverpack`:
\n + Controls usage of all commands. Disabling this permission will disable
\n access to all commands moderated by this plugin.
\n + Default: Operator Only
\n+ `betterserverpack.set`:
\n + Controls access to the [`set`](#set) subcommand.
\n + Default: Operator Only
\n+ `betterserverpack.reload`
\n + Controls access to the [`reload`](#reload) subcommand.
\n + Default: Operator Only<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
