How to add a Resource/Texture pack to your Minecraft Java/PC Server
If you have a particular Resource Pack (previously called Texture Pack) you want to use on your server, you'll first have to download it to your device. If it's on a Resource Pack website, download the .zip to your computer first and remember where you downloaded it.
Resource Pack Requirements:
- Must be in .zip format
- For Minecraft 1.5 and newer, it must be in the new Resource Pack format
More information can be found here.- Must be hosted somewhere with a direct download capability.
