Description
🌍 DynamicPack
A lightweight mod that monitors your resource pack version and updates it automatically.
📖 Documentation
See the GitHub Wiki for full developer documentation, advanced features, and examples.
🎨 Resource Packs Using DynamicPack
These resource packs already use automatic DynamicPack updates:
- CursedEveryday (GitHub)
- ModsRU
- Zelda Music
- PawTotems (SMP, GitHub)
- SPPack (SMP, GitHub)
- Essentially Tweaked
- Vanilla Leaves
⚙️ How It Works
Resource pack developers include a metadata file named dynamicmcpack.json inside their pack.
At game launch, DynamicPack checks for updates and automatically downloads the latest version if necessary.
🧩 For Players
Install the mod and enjoy — DynamicPack will handle updates in the background.
🛠 For Developers
If you’d like your pack to update itself automatically, you can choose one of the integration options below.
🔗 Option 1 — Update from Modrinth
Create a file named dynamicmcpack.json in your pack:
{
"current": {
"version_number": "7.1" // Current version of your resource pack
},
"remote": {
"game_version": "1.21.1", // Compatible Minecraft version
"modrinth_project_id": "better-leaves", // Your Modrinth project slug or ID
"type": "modrinth" // Update source type (Modrinth)
},
"formatVersion": 1 // Internal config format version
}
🐙 Option 2 — Update from GitHub
Create a file named dynamicmcpack.json in your pack:
{
"current": {},
"remote": {
"sign_no_required": true, // Optional digital signature — set to true to disable verification
"type": "dynamic_repo", // Update source type (Dynamic Repository)
"url": "https://adamcalculator.github.io/CursedEveryday/" // Remote repository URL
},
"formatVersion": 1 // Internal configuration format version
}
Next, create a dynamicmcpack.repo.json file like this:
{
"formatVersion": 1, // Internal schema version
"build": 10, // Build number of your current release
"name": "CursedEveryday", // Display name of your resource pack
"contents": [
{
// Metadata block (main information about pack components)
"url": "path/to/content.json",
"hash": "5e4d4ad1e9714487263c51f5f83c448c0708773a", // SHA1 checksum of content.json
"id": "meta",
"hidden": true, // Hides this component from user‑facing lists
"required": true // Marks this component as mandatory
},
{
// Example of an additional content section
"url": "path/to/content.json",
"hash": "6e6739297dac80078bbc4890567f05d4015553db",
"id": "cursed",
"name": "Cursed content" // Optional friendly display name
}
]
}
Next, create a separate content.json file for each content section:
{
"formatVersion": 1, // Schema version
"content": {
"parent": "path/to/parent", // Local folder containing the files
"remote_parent": "remote/path/to/parent", // Corresponding path in your Git repo
"files": {
"path/to/file": {
"hash": "ca55daeef2e2d84ccd64608cf889ac321c18d4c2", // SHA1 hash of file
"size": 4773 // File size in bytes
},
"path/to/file2": {
"hash": "336e9f4e6d7d1400d8a308a33e703e8b33ea5434",
"size": 54665
},
"path/to/file3": {
"hash": "09dae0777de1705e8acd0ff84c0bb6b7e3e22f63",
"size": 98592
}
}
}
}
⚠️ Important: These examples use
json5, which allows comments (//).
The actual files must be valid.json, so remove comments before use or validate them with this JSON checker.
Advanced features — such as dynamic repositories — are documented in the GitHub Wiki.
