Hot-Reload Resource Packs
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
For Fabric. NeoForge version requires Sinytra Connector
Reloads resource packs when changes to the resourcepacks folder are made. Useful for resource pack developers who are tired of using F3+t, and allows immediately viewing changes on one monitor without leaving your editor.
This is meant to be a very simple zero-configuration mod. For an arguably better experience, consider checking out https://modrinth.com/mod/scaldinghot
