NoForcedPacks

NoForcedPacks: Disable, Bypass or Skip Server Resource Packs (Fabric Mod)

A server forcing its texture pack on you? Take back control — the whole pack, or just the textures you don't want.

NoForcedPacks is a 100% client-side Fabric mod with three tools: disable any forced server resource pack (like the Hypixel SkyBlock texture pack), mix textures from multiple packs item by item, and change your held items (smaller or bigger, faster or slower swing). No Fabric API needed, nothing to install on the server, and your choices persist across reconnects and restarts.

Disable, bypass or skip forced server resource packs

Hypixel SkyBlock, or any other server, forcing a texture pack on you? NoForcedPacks puts the server's pack in your normal Options → Resource Packs list. Move it off and it stays off, across rejoins and restarts. Your own packs are never touched.

Mix and combine textures from multiple packs

Why choose one pack when you can take the best parts of all of them? Open Individual Textures and, item by item:

• Pick which pack's texture you see. Hypixel's sword with FurSky's armor and another pack's pickaxe? Do it. Every loaded pack that textures that item is an option.
• Pick between variants. If a pack ships several looks for one item, choose one. Starred versions keep their own look.
• Turn a single texture off. Set any item to Vanilla and leave the rest of the pack alone.
• Turn off just a pack's UI. UI off for… hides a pack's HUD, inventory and menu backgrounds, tooltips, title screen and SkyBlock menu icons, while its item and armor textures stay.
• Search by name. Type Aspect of the Void and jump straight to it. Filter by pack, or Rescan after the server sends a new one.

Your worn armor follows your choice too (dye colors kept), and tooltips from a turned-off pack fall back to vanilla instead of magenta boxes.

Smaller held items and custom swing speed

Open Held items at the bottom of the Individual Textures screen:

• Item size, 10% to 200%. Shrink the item in your hand so it stops blocking your view, or make it huge.
• Swing speed, 5% to 200%. Slow your swing animation right down or speed it up.
• Test swing lets you try it without hitting anything, and your hand stays visible while you adjust.

It only changes what you see. Attacks, mining and what the server gets are exactly the same, and other players see you as usual.

How to use

1. Install Fabric Loader. No Fabric API needed.
2. Put the NoForcedPacks .jar in your mods folder and launch.
3. Join a server. Its pack loads as normal.
4. Whole pack off: open Options → Resource Packs and move the server pack to the left. It's remembered next time.
5. Textures, UI and held items: open Individual Textures from the TXT Packs button in the pause menu, the Individual textures button on the Resource Packs screen, or a key of your choice (Options → Controls → Key Binds, unbound by default so it never clashes with other mods).

Everything you choose is saved across reconnects and restarts.

FAQ

How do I disable, bypass or skip a server's forced resource pack in Minecraft?

Vanilla Minecraft only lets you accept the pack or leave the server. Install NoForcedPacks and the server's pack shows up in your normal Resource Packs list (Options → Resource Packs). Move it off and it stays off across rejoins and restarts. It works on any server and needs nothing installed on the server.

How do I disable the Hypixel SkyBlock texture pack?

Install Fabric Loader and NoForcedPacks, join Hypixel, then open Options → Resource Packs and move the SkyBlock pack off. It stays off next time you join. To keep part of it, leave it on and turn off only the items you don't want in Individual Textures.

Can I turn off only some textures instead of the whole pack?

Yes. Open Individual Textures and set any item to Vanilla; the rest of the pack stays. You can also turn off just a pack's UI (HUD, menus, tooltips, title screen) and keep its item and armor textures.

Can I combine or mix texture packs in Minecraft?

Yes. Load the packs you want, then in Individual Textures pick, for each item, which pack's texture to use. No need to merge pack files by hand.

How do I make held items smaller or change my swing speed?

Open Individual Textures, then Held items. Item size goes from 10% to 200% and swing speed from 5% to 200%. It only changes what you see: attacks, mining and what the server gets stay the same, and other players see you as usual.

My tooltips turned into magenta boxes after removing a server pack. How do I fix it?

NoForcedPacks fixes this automatically: tooltips fall back to the vanilla style when their pack is turned off.

Do I need Fabric API?

No. NoForcedPacks only needs Fabric Loader.

Do I need to install it on the server?

No. NoForcedPacks is 100% client-side. Only you need it installed.

Will it affect resource packs I installed myself?

No. Your own packs are never turned off or changed. You can still use them as options in Individual Textures.

Is NoForcedPacks bannable?

It only changes what you see on your own screen and gives no gameplay advantage. Still, check your server's rules: you're responsible for how you use it.
