About this Mod

Shared Resources

A mod for easily sharing game files between separate Minecraft instances.
Best used with a multi-instance launcher like MultiMC or Prism Launcher.

It works by selecting a global directory to hold your common game files,
and modifying Minecraft to use that directory instead of the default one.
Where possible, the mod tries to load files from the global directory together
with the local ones, merging the two and allowing you to select from both.
This is currently only available for resource packs, data packs and shaders.

Currently supported game files/directories:

  • Resource packs
  • Data packs
  • Saves
  • Vanilla options (video settings, controls, etc.)
  • Servers
  • Screenshots
  • Saved Hotbars
  • The fabric config folder (should work with the configs of any properly coded mods)
  • Shader packs (via Iris)
  • Schematics (via Litematica)
  • Replay Recordings (via ReplayMod)
  • Skin Presets (via SkinShuffle)
  • World Map Data (via Xaero's World Map)
