How to Add a Resource Pack to Your Minecraft Bedrock Server

Install custom resource packs on your Minecraft Bedrock Edition dedicated server to change textures, sounds, and UI through the XGamingServer panel.

Here is how to add a resource pack to your Minecraft Bedrock server. Resource packs customize textures, sounds, models, and UI elements for all players on your server.

⚠️ Warning: Paid Marketplace resource packs are encrypted and cannot be transferred to dedicated servers. Only free, downloadable resource packs will work.

Finding Resource Packs

You can download Bedrock-compatible resource packs from sites like:

Resource packs come as .mcpack files.

Enabling a Resource Pack in Your World

Download a Resource Pack

Download your desired resource pack (.mcpack file) to your PC.

Install Locally

Double-click the .mcpack file to install it to your local Minecraft installation.

Open Your World Settings

Open Minecraft Bedrock Edition, click Play, and click the pencil icon next to the world you want to modify.

Activate the Resource Pack

Select Resource Packs and activate the pack you want to use.

Uploading Your World With the Resource Pack

Upload Your World

Follow our upload existing world guide to export and upload your resource pack-enabled world to your server.

Once your world is uploaded, continue below to upload the resource pack files.

Uploading Resource Pack Files to Your Server

Prepare the Pack Files

Locate the resource pack file you downloaded (.mcpack). Rename the file extension to .zip (for example, MyTextures.mcpack to MyTextures.zip).

Extract the Files

Right-click the .zip file and click Extract All.

Upload to Your Server

In the XGamingServer Panel, go to Files and navigate to the resource_packs directory. Upload your extracted resource pack folder.

The folder should contain files like:

resource_packs/
  MyTexturePack/
    manifest.json
    pack_icon.png
    textures/
    sounds/

Start Your Server

Start your server to load the resource pack.

💡 Tip: If you want to force all players to download the resource pack when they join, set texturepack-required=true in your server.properties file. See our server properties guide for more details.
