Resource Pack Encryption
The resource pack encryption means that PowerNukkitX enables you to use resource packs encrypted by you. You only need to configure a 32-key for your resource pack according to the following tutorial to enable the player client to load normally.
Just 3 steps, keep up and get started!
Please note that resource pack encryption cannot completely prevent people with ulterior motives from stealing your resource pack since it is using AES, a symmetric key encryption.
1. Encrypt my resource pack
Choose a tool to encrypt your resource pack. We recommend using EncryptMyPack (opens in a new tab)
Some precautions:
- The resource pack must end with
.mcpack. If you are using a ZIP file right now, simply rename it to.mcpack. - The root directory of the file cannot be nested with folders. The
manifest.jsonfile must be visible in the root directory of the resource pack.
PowerNukkitX itself does not contain any encryption and decryption logic, it only sends the encryption keys to the client according to your configuration
2. Configure your key
Create a new file named after your resource pack, ending with .key.
After creating the file, paste the encryption key inside it.
Example file structure of your resource_packs folder:
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| x1.mcpack | A resource pack named x1 |
| x1.mcpack.key | This is the key of x1.mcpack resource pack |
3. Restart the server for your changes to take effect
PowerNukkitX will only load the files located inside resource_packs on startup.
