MorePackFormat

This mod opens up new possibilities for working with resource packs in Minecraft, allowing the use of the modern zstd compression algorithm instead of the standard format.

Creating Resource Packs with MPF Support

The pack creation process remains familiar - you still need to archive files in ZIP format. However, the key difference lies in applying zstd encoding during compression.

After you've created an archive using zstd encoding, you need to change the file extension to ".zst". This allows the game to recognize and correctly load such packs.

Required Tools

To work with the zstd format, you'll need special software, such as a modified version of 7-Zip with support for this compression algorithm.

Usage in Modpacks

Modpack developers can freely use this mod provided they comply with the license agreements. However, there are certain restrictions: it's prohibited to use in packs that include the full Minecraft game along with mod files, configurations, shaders, resource packs, libraries, and launcher.

License Terms

The mod is distributed under a special license that contains additional restrictions to prevent unwanted usage. Details can be found in the corresponding documentation.
