What it does

This client side Fabric mod skips loading server resource packs if the client already has it.

This avoids the annoying Mojang loading bar when joining and leaving servers.

It does this by comparing the file hashes of the resource pack.

Why should it be in the modpack

Makes it faster to enter servers whit custom resource packs that you already have.

Why shouldn't it be in the modpack

Its a new ish mod so maybe not tested enough?
Its also a bit situational because you need to already have the resource pack on

Additional details

I found it in Xisuma's Hermitcraft Enhancements mod pack and started to look in to it.

Interesting indeed, would speed up a lot of games. ARR may be an obstacle at some point, but at the same time it does have proper CF/MR/GH releases.

Only thing I wonder, if it is so easy, why hasn't Mojang done it 😂 Or why isn't it considered a bug?

I misunderstood the mod's purpose.

I thought this would be about resource pack cache, e.g. in CubeCraft Lucky Blocks the game needs a resource pack and it is redownloaded every time - I thought the mod would enable it from local cache instead.

Instead, it seems to be about common and enabled resource packs, like when the server offers you the Faithful pack but there is a chance you have downloaded and enabled it manually anyway. But that is not very likely to happen in 90%+ servers.

Therefore, this mod is considered niche and rejected.

Even if the mod did have the feature I proposed, it would barely be useful because minigame-specific resource packs are really small - for most users the enabling process takes longer than downloading process anyway. Plus, I believe vanilla already has that cache feature.
