Info

This mod changes the sorting order of the available resource packs list

Uppercase and lowercase are sorted next to each other
Formatting codes are ignored to reduce confusion

After v1.1.0 this mod also supports adding custom resource pack names:

Adds a new field name into the pack.mcmeta which overrides the display name for the resource pack
Instead of showing pack-name.zip it shows This is a custom name using the custom styling as well

{
    "pack": {
        "pack_format": 8,
        "name": "\u00A72This is a custom name",
        "description": "\u00A73Custom description\nby MrMelon"
    }
}

After v1.1.1: holding alt when hovering over a resource pack will show the original file name
