Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

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.

Yet Another Resource Loader

Yet Another Resource Loader (YARL) is a lightweight utility mod that allows modpack creators to ship default resource packs while preserving full in-game configurability.

YARL automatically detects and enables resource packs placed in config/YARL/packs.

Packs in this folder are selected by default when the game launches, but players remain free to disable them at any time through the standard Resource Packs menu.

This mod is not intended to replace mods such as OpenLoader, which remain ideal for essential startup packs. Instead, YARL provides a flexible way to distribute non-essential resource packs that are enabled by default but fully optional for the user.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Modpack creators should not distribute the generated yarl.toml configuration file.
The file is meant to be created automatically for each user on first launch and should not be pre-packaged with a modpack.
