FAQ​

What plugins are compatible with RSPM?​

Info

RSPM automatically detects and merges resource packs from the following plugins when installed:

  • EliteMobs
  • FreeMinecraftModels
  • ModelEngine
  • Nova
  • Oraxen
  • ItemsAdder
  • BackpackPlus
  • vane-core
  • RealisticSurvival

When you install any of these plugins, RSPM will automatically include their resource packs in the merged pack without requiring additional configuration.

Is RSPM compatible with ItemsAdder?​

Info

RSPM is compatible with ItemsAdder. Follow this short guide to configure ItemsAdder to work with RSPM. Note that this guide does not cover full ItemsAdder configuration — only the steps required to make it compatible with RSPM:

  1. Download any ItemsAdder packs and extract them into:
    plugins/ItemsAdder

  2. Open plugins/ItemsAdder/config.yml and set the following to true:

hosting:
  no-host:
    enabled: true
  1. In the same config file, disable resource pack encryption by setting these options to false:
zip:
  protect-file-from-unzip:
    protection_1: false
    protection_2: false

  1. Reload ItemsAdder using /iareload or restart the server.

  2. Run /iazip to generate the ItemsAdder resource pack.

  3. Make sure the generated pack appears in:
    plugins/ItemsAdder/output

  4. Finally, run /rspm reload to let RSPM merge the generated pack.

Why are my resource packs suddenly not displaying properly?​

Info

Sometimes issues can arise with resource pack merging, particularly after upgrading your server or plugins. For example, you may update your server from version 1.21 to 1.21.4 and notice that models for coins or swords in the EliteMobs resource pack are displayed as purple and black squares instead of the intended models.

This issue can occur even if you haven’t made changes to Resource Pack Manager (RSPM) or other related resource pack settings.

To resolve this, try the following:

  1. Stop your server.
  2. Delete the ResourcePackManager folder located in the plugins directory.
  3. Restart your server to allow RSPM to regenerate its configuration files and resource packs.

This process often resolves display issues and restores proper functionality to your resource packs.

How do I prevent conflicts between RSPM and ItemsAdder's auto-hosting feature?​

Info

ItemsAdder has its own auto-hosting feature, which can conflict with RSPM's auto-hosting if both are enabled. If you're using RSPM's auto-hosting and want it to handle all your resource packs—including those from ItemsAdder—you will need to disable ItemsAdder's auto-hosting.

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open the config.yml file for ItemsAdder.
  2. Locate the auto-external-host setting and set it to false.
  3. Disable all other hosting methods by ensuring that no other hosting options are enabled in the configuration.

Here’s an example of what the configuration should look like:

auto-external-host:
  enabled: false

Why isn’t RSPM able to read and merge the ItemsAdder resource pack?​

Info

If you are using ItemsAdder, it is necessary to disable ItemsAdder's encryption to ensure that RSPM can read and merge the resource pack properly. ItemsAdder can encrypt its resource pack, which prevents RSPM from accessing and merging the files.

To resolve this, follow these steps:

  1. Open the config.yml file for ItemsAdder.
  2. Set the following settings to false:
zip:
  protect-file-from-unzip:
    protection_1: false
    protection_2: false

ViaVersion can lead to Resource Packs not displaying properly.​

Info

ViaVersion can cause issues with resource packs, particularly when running a server on a version lower than 1.21.4. Minecraft introduced changes in how resource packs are handled starting from 1.21.4. If you are running a server on a version like 1.21.3 and using ViaVersion to allow 1.21.4 clients to connect, these clients may experience issues displaying certain resource pack contents, such as custom models from FMM (FreeMinecraftModels).

This happens because the resource pack system in Minecraft changed with the 1.21.4 update.

To resolve this, consider updating your server to 1.21.4 or higher, as this will ensure better compatibility with modern resource pack features, including FMM custom models.

Can I add my own resource packs to be merged?​

Info

You can add your own custom resource packs by placing them in the mixer folder located inside the ResourcePackManager plugin directory.

Simply drop your .zip file into that folder. To ensure it’s merged correctly, update the priorityOrder section in the config.yml with the exact filename, including the .zip extension. For example:

priorityOrder:
  - ResourcePackManager
  - EliteMobs
  - MyCustomPack.zip

This allows you to seamlessly merge EliteMobs, FreeMinecraftModels, and any custom textures into a single pack.

How do I add a custom resource pack to the priorityOrder list?​

Info

To add a custom resource pack to the priorityOrder in ResourcePackManager, simply include the exact filename of the .zip file you placed in the mixer folder.

For example, if you added a resource pack called MyWeirdTextures.zip, your config should look like this:

priorityOrder:
  - ResourcePackManager
  - EliteMobs
  - MyWeirdTextures.zip
