About this Mod

Minecraft 1.19.3 dropped support for resource packs for 1.7-1.12. For example, 1.19.3+ won't recognise textures/blocks/wool_colored_yellow.png for a yellow wool block. Only the new path, which is textures/block/yellow_wool.png, is recognised. This mod brings back old resource pack support in 1.20.

The resource pack format should be less than 4 to work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Legacy Resource Pack Adapter need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Legacy Resource Pack Adapter as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Legacy Resource Pack Adapter require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.6, 1.20.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Legacy Resource Pack Adapter is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
