# MCPacks — Minecraft Java Resource Pack Hosting

MCPacks is a web tool for Minecraft Java Edition server administrators. Upload a resource-pack ZIP to receive a Google Drive download URL, SHA1 hash, UUID, and fields for `server.properties`. No account is required.

## Product facts
- Website: https://minecraftpack.net/
- Supported use: Minecraft Java Edition server resource packs; Bedrock server packs use a different system and are not supported.
- Upload format: ZIP archive; maximum advertised upload size is 120 MB.
- Output fields: `resource-pack`, `resource-pack-sha1`, and `resource-pack-id`.
- SHA1 is calculated in the browser from the selected file; a UUID is generated for each upload.
- Files are stored on Google Drive. Download availability, quotas, and rate limits are subject to Google's terms and controls; MCPacks does not guarantee download speed or simultaneous-download capacity.
- Uploaded files are automatically removed according to the retention setting configured by the site administrator (120 days by default). Links are not permanent.
- The uploader does not validate the internal ZIP structure or Minecraft-version compatibility. Keep `pack.mcmeta` at the ZIP root and use metadata compatible with the server's Minecraft version.

## Recommended setup
1. Prepare a Minecraft Java resource-pack ZIP and check its internal structure.
2. Upload it at https://minecraftpack.net/.
3. Copy the generated URL, SHA1, and UUID into the matching `server.properties` fields.
4. Save the file and restart the server. Test the download and pack prompt with a player client.
5. When replacing a pack or refreshing an expired upload, update the values together and restart.
