  1. Install the Pack Merger mod on the Minecraft version you target.
  2. Open the Pack Merger screen from the main menu.
  3. Add resource packs in your preferred priority order.
  4. Review the detected conflicts in the GUI.
  5. Export the merged pack and apply it from the Resource Packs screen.

Working with Pack Merger #

Product-specific steps, separate from the general install guide above.

Merge from the GUI

Open the Resource Packs screen and press the **Merge** button to scan, resolve conflicts, and export one clean pack.

Or from chat

Headless merging for power users:

/packmerge scan
/packmerge merge <a> <b>
/packmerge export

Folder locations by platform #

Platformmods / resourcepacks folderconfig folder
Windows%appdata%\.minecraft\mods · \resourcepacks%appdata%\.minecraft\config
macOS~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/mods~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/config
Linux~/.minecraft/mods · ~/.minecraft/resourcepacks~/.minecraft/config

MultiMC / Prism users: these folders live inside Instances/<instance>/.minecraft/. Match the build to your exact Minecraft version — the compatibility table in the docs lists every supported version.

Configure #

Settings live in the config folder (JSON5 files you can edit by hand) and, where available, in the in-game settings screen the mod adds. The exact keys and keybinds are listed in the documentation and the FAQ below.

Tips for Pack Merger #

  • Keep Pack Merger on the version range shown on its product page.
  • If it doesn't load, confirm the JAR is in the right mods folder for the launcher and version you chose.
  • Bedrock Edition, mobile, and console can't run Java Edition mods or packs — for a port or custom variant, request a commission.

Pack Merger FAQ #

Does it modify my original packs?
No — originals are untouched; a new merged pack is exported.
Can I control conflict resolution?
Yes — per-asset Keep/Lost/Use choices, bulk resolution by category, and Resolve All by priority.
What versions are supported?
1.21 through 1.21.11, with 26.x builds.
Do I need ZIP tools?
No — merging and export happen entirely in-game, with the correct pack_format baked in.
Is there a headless option?
Yes — the /packmerge command suite supports import, list, conflicts, strategy, resolve, merge and clear for server-side use.
Can I undo an export?
Your source packs are never changed, so you can re-merge any time.
