ItemsAdder + LobFile

ItemsAdder is one of the most powerful Minecraft plugins for custom content — custom items, blocks, mobs, HUDs, and more, all backed by an automatically generated resource pack. LobFile is a built-in hosting option: configure it once, then a single /iazip command compiles and uploads your pack without you touching anything else.

How it works

When you run /iazip in-game (or from the server console), ItemsAdder compiles all your custom content into a single resource pack ZIP and uploads it directly to LobFile using your API key. LobFile returns a new direct link, and ItemsAdder automatically updates the pack URL sent to players — no manual steps, no dashboard visits after the initial setup.

Setup guide

1

Get your LobFile API key

Log in to LobFile and go to Dashboard → Account Info to copy your API key.

2

Enable Continuous Uploading

Go to your LobFile General Settings and enable Continuous Uploading. This setting allows repeated uploads with the same API key — important for a workflow where /iazip runs frequently as you develop your content.

3

Edit config.yml — enable LobFile

In your ItemsAdder config.yml, find the resource pack hosting section and enable LobFile:

hosting:
  lobfile:
    enabled: true

Make sure all other hosting methods in this section are set to enabled: false — only one hosting method should be active at a time.

4

Edit secret.yml — add your API key

Open secret.yml (in the same folder as config.yml) and add your API key:

lobfile:
  api_key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

Keep this file secure — your API key grants upload access to your LobFile account. Don't commit it to a public repository.

5

Restart your server

Restart the Minecraft server to apply the configuration changes.

6

Run /iazip

In-game (or from the server console), run:

/iazip

ItemsAdder will compile your resource pack and upload it to LobFile. On the very first run, you may be prompted to accept LobFile's privacy policy:

/acceptprivacy

After that, players connecting to your server will automatically receive the updated pack via LobFile's CDN. Every subsequent /iazip run uploads a fresh copy and updates the link automatically.

Notes

File size limit: Free accounts support files up to 100 MB. If your ItemsAdder pack exceeds that, paid plans offer higher limits.

Subsequent updates: After the initial setup, just run /iazip whenever you make content changes. ItemsAdder and LobFile handle everything else.
