Here's a cleanly formatted version of your message, suitable for a GitHub README or wiki page. I've used Markdown conventions for structure, code formatting, and emphasis:

Before you begin, ensure the following:

• ✅ You have the modified version of the Portable Furnace plugin installed on your server.

• ✅ You have a basic understanding of how to install and enable resource packs in Minecraft.

• ✅ You have access to image editing software for creating texture files (.png).

• ✅ You have a text editor for editing .json configuration files.

Start by creating a folder for your resource pack. Inside this folder, create the standard Minecraft resource pack structure:

MyCustomFurnacePack/
├── assets/
│   └── minecraft/
│       ├── models/
│       │   └── item/
│       └── textures/
│           └── item/
└── pack.mcmeta

This file tells Minecraft about your resource pack. Example:

{
  "pack": {
    "pack_format": 26,
    "description": "Custom Furnace GUI Pack"
  }
}

🔍 Adjust pack_format based on your Minecraft version. Check the correct value here.

The plugin uses standard Minecraft items with CustomModelData to render the GUI. Example mappings:

🔧 These values must match the ones in the plugin’s config.yml.

Tell Minecraft to use different models for items with specific CustomModelData.

File: black_stained_glass_pane.json

{
  "parent": "item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "minecraft:item/black_stained_glass_pane"
  },
  "overrides": [
    {
      "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 1001 },
      "model": "minecraft:item/custom_furnace_background"
    }
  ]
}

File: stone.json

{
  "parent": "block/cube_all",
  "textures": {
    "all": "minecraft:block/stone"
  },
  "overrides": [
    {
      "predicate": { "custom_model_data": 2001 },
      "model": "minecraft:item/custom_furnace_progress_0"
    }
  ]
}

📝 Add to existing files if you're merging multiple packs.

For each custom model, create a .json file pointing to the correct texture.

Example: custom_furnace_background.json

{
  "parent": "item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "minecraft:item/custom_furnace_background_texture"
  }
}

Repeat this step for each progress and fuel state (e.g., custom_furnace_progress_0.json, custom_furnace_fuel_empty.json, etc.).

Place your .png textures in the correct path:

assets/minecraft/textures/item/

Examples:

• custom_furnace_background_texture.png

• custom_furnace_progress_0_texture.png

🎨 Make sure these are standard PNG files.

Edit the plugin config located at:

plugins/PortableFurnace/config.yml

Under gui.custom-textures, add entries like:

gui:
  custom-textures:
    background: 1001
    progress:
      "0": 2001
      "33": 2002
      ...

✅ Save and reload or restart the plugin after making changes.

1. Zip the contents of MyCustomFurnacePack (make sure assets/ and pack.mcmeta are at the root).

2. Place the .zip file into your Minecraft client's resourcepacks/ folder.

3. In Minecraft:

   • Go to Options → Resource Packs

   • Move your custom pack to the Selected list.

   • Click Done to apply.

If your textures don't show:

• 🔎 Double-check file paths and names.

• ✅ Validate .json syntax.

• 🔄 Confirm CustomModelData values match between resource pack and config.

• ✔️ Ensure the resource pack is properly applied in Minecraft.

Upload your zipped MyCustomFurnacePack.zip somewhere accessible via a direct download link (HTTP/HTTPS). Options:

• ✅ Dropbox (make sure it’s a direct link)
• ✅ GitHub Releases
• ✅ A custom web server
• ✅ Google Drive (with link conversion)

Example Link Format:

https://example.com/resourcepacks/MyCustomFurnacePack.zip

🔥 Make sure your file is publicly accessible and doesn’t require login or redirect.

Open the plugins/ResourcePackManager/config.yml and add an entry for your new pack.

packs:
  mycustomfurnace:
    url: "https://example.com/resourcepacks/MyCustomFurnacePack.zip"
    hash: "sha1_hash_here"
    forced: false
    priority: 10
    permission: "resourcepack.mycustomfurnace"

• url: Direct download link to the .zip file
• hash: SHA-1 hash of the zip (used by Minecraft to validate the file)
• forced: Set to true if you want to require users to accept it
• priority: Higher number = higher load priority
• permission: Optional permission node (e.g., only apply to players with this)

Minecraft requires a SHA-1 checksum of the .zip file. You can generate it with:

sha1sum MyCustomFurnacePack.zip

Get-FileHash -Path .\MyCustomFurnacePack.zip -Algorithm SHA1

Copy the resulting hash into the hash: field in the config.

If you're using permissions:

• Assign resourcepack.mycustomfurnace to the group or players who should get the pack.

After updating the config, run:

/resourcepack reload

Or restart the server.
