About this Mod
🌍 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.

DynamicPack server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is DynamicPack compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge?
DynamicPack officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with DynamicPack – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if DynamicPack consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
