ItemsAdder + LobFile

ItemsAdder adds custom items, blocks, mobs, and HUDs to a Minecraft server, 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. After the initial setup there are no manual steps and no dashboard visits.

Setup guide

1

Get your LobFile API key

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

No account yet? Create one for free.

2

Enable Continuous Uploading

Go to your LobFile General Settings and enable Continuous Uploading.

Every /iazip uploads a new copy of your pack, and the old copies stay on your account. With this setting on, LobFile deletes your oldest files whenever the account runs out of space, so new uploads keep working. Without it, uploads fail once the account is full.

Deleted files can't be recovered. Files marked as favorites in File Management are skipped, so favorite anything else on the account you want to keep, or give the server its own account.

3

Edit config.yml to enable LobFile

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

resource-pack:
  hosting:
    lobfile:
      enabled: true

Make sure all other hosting methods in this section are set to enabled: false, including simple_self_host on ItemsAdder 4.0.17 and later. Only one hosting method should be active at a time.

4

Edit secret.yml to 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, and do not share it with anyone else.

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: Free LobFile accounts support files up to 250 MB. Most resource packs fit well within that limit. If your pack is larger, consider a paid plan for higher limits.

Bandwidth: Free accounts include 100 GB of downloads a month. LobFile emails you at 80%. At 100% it stops serving your files until the 1st of the next month (UTC) or until you upgrade, and players can't download the pack in the meantime.

Inactive accounts: a free account with no sign-in and no upload for a year is deleted one week after a warning email. Player downloads don't count as activity, but every /iazip upload does.

Upload errors: File is too large for your account tier means the pack is over your plan's file size limit. Not enough storage space on your account or Not enough file slots on your account means the account is full: turn on Continuous Uploading (step 2) or delete old files.

Players can't download the pack: check lobfilestatus.com for an outage.
