In 1.13 can mods provide custom code for resourcepacks?

[portablejim]

In 1.12 and before, I have used an implementation of IFMLLoadingPlugin to allow an extension of DummyModContainer to be able to return a custom class to getCustomResourcePackClass(). This allowed a hidden folder-based resource pack that always loaded but is easily able to be changed at runtime by the user or bundled by the modpack dev.

 

I am wondering if this mod (source code at https://github.com/portablejim/Additional-Resources/tree/master/src/main/java/portablejim/additionalresources ) and the mod dependent on this one is able to be brought to 1.13 and what approach I should be looking at?

Also completely impossible with the new coremod system

Nothing of that coremod-hackyness was required, ever.

Before 1.13 you could just add resource packs to Minecraft#defaultResourcePacks. In 1.13 the system seems to have been reworked a bit, but something similar should be possible. No need for coremods.

Thanks for the tip. It did get me there in the end.

 

For those who come after: Implement IPackFinder, look at FolderPack/FilePack/AbstractResourcePack and extend if needed, and call

((Minecraft)mc).getResourcePackList().addPackFinder()

with your implementation of IPackFinder.
