# First Resourcepack Installation

## Step 1: <a href="#step-4" id="step-4"></a>

Now that you have a zip file, you can install it as your server's resource pack with this resourcepack zip, which contains the resource pack for the resource.

In case there isn't a zip, make sure to make a zip of the pack, pack.mcmeta and the assets folder. The name of the folder is optinal and you can set it to whatever you want

We recommend using [mc-packs](https://mc-packs.net/) to upload your server's resource pack. Simply drag and drop the assets zip folder onto the website to upload it.

## Step 2: <a href="#step-5" id="step-5"></a>

Once you have uploaded the zip file, it will generate two values: **resource-pack** and **resource-pack-sha1**. You will use these values to ensure the resource pack is automatically downloaded by users when they join the server.

## Step 3: <a href="#step-5" id="step-5"></a>

Head over to the main directory of your server and locate the **server.properties** file. Inside, you will find the **resource-pack** and **resource-pack-sha1** fields. Replace these two values with the ones provided by McPacks.

Once you've made these changes, you're all set! The resource pack should now be automatically downloaded by players when they join the server.

## Step 4: <a href="#step-5" id="step-5"></a>

Restart your server for the changes in the **server.properties** to be applied. If you’ve followed all the steps correctly, the resource pack should now be working. Enjoy! ☺️
