(funkychick) Resource pack controls

[spark osprey]

Sooooooo I was thinking… perhaps we could get a tag that lists all resource packs the player has installed? This would make for a really easy X-ray detection system if we could read resource pack names.

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.
You can block this bot if you don't want to see these messages, I won't mind.

Changed to Feature

Thread is now a Feature thread. This indicates a request for a new feature to the plugin, that both (A) does not already exist and (B) reasonably can be added. If you are unsure whether this applies, use </helpthread:1028674284870180883> to change back to a normal help thread.

Also, maybe a way to access things like the description and pack version?

Even more insane of a request: the server could be able to “probe” into a resource pack and get a specific texture, then a script could analyze said texture for transparency

Or even better: a new tag that returns whatever the priority texture is for a block or item. For example, if I have an X-ray pack installed and have it above all my other stone-altering packs, it’ll return the transparent stone png from the X-ray pack. However, if I have no packs installed it will return “null”.

lol I was literally about to say this exactly

could also possibly return an ImageTag (once implemented) of the individual requested textures

I would like to add my suggestion here since its the same idea,
have clientizen have a mech to fetch loaded fabric mod names too
as alot of players are loading in fabric based cheats.
This should also allow us to specify only a handful of mods that we wanna allow.

looked at src and there is a ResourceManager#streamResourcePacks which you can call like MinecraftClient.getInstance().getResourceManager().streamResourcePacks()

and its only for loaded ones

[languid wedge]

i meannnnn there could be an entire resource manager tag set

for all resource packs there is a ResourcePackManager

have clientizen have a mech to fetch loaded fabric mod names too
yep this is pretty easy. there should definitely be a ModTag

you can get all mods with a simple FabricLoader.getInstance().getAllMods() call, then ModContainer can be wrapped by ModTag

(and then there are other methods to get mod by id / check if one is loaded)

This should also allow us to specify only a handful of mods that we wanna allow.
there is a bit of talk about a "server consent api", very much driven by one person, they made this WIP pr https://github.com/FabricMC/fabric/pull/3129

Add ref #commit-log message, but should probably make a separate thread for this in the future - the criteria is basically whether it'd be added separetley to what the thread is about or not (e.g. expanding on the feature request or making a different one)

But no worries ofc

thank you aya!
