 +## Pack loading issues: 
 +### The download screen gets stuck at 100% 
 + 
 +There were several Bugs in older versions of the Minecraft client which caused it to get stuck at 100% on the loading screen when certain errors in the client while downloading or applying the pack occured.  (You can check the client's log for these in `%APPDATA%/.minecraft/logs/latest.log`) I strongly recommend updating your client to a more recent version. (Especially 1.20.3 made major improvements to server pack loading!) 
 + 
 +If you need old client versions to work then a very common issue is that older Minecraft versions used older Java versions which are not compatible with modern SSL certificates and encryption algorithms.  (e.g. used by the free and very common Let's Encrypt certificates) This will result in `javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target` or similar errors in the client. 
 + 
 +There are only three real solutions to this issue: 
 + 
 +- Update to a client version that is at least 1.17 (as in that version Java was updated from 8 to 16) 
 +- Install a modern Java version like 17 and manually specify it to be used in the launcher 
 +- Change the SSL certificate to one with a root certificate older than summer 2015 (these tend to cost money. If you can't do that or don't even run your own webserver then you can try [mcrp.host](https://mcrp.host), they should use a compatible SSL certificate)

 +### The client freezes while loading the resourcepack
  
 When a server resource pack is send to a client it will shortly freeze after the download is complete. (Same as manually applying a local pack) This happens because the client has to reload all resources, check which resources overlap and do some other calculation and manipulation with them. (Like stitching all the textures together to a single image like they were in the first texture pack format) It's not a download issue as the client will locally cache the pack files and not re-download them if their hash didn't change. When a server resource pack is send to a client it will shortly freeze after the download is complete.

 How long this takes generally depends on the PC's performance and the size of the textures (HD packs take longer) that are used in all resource packs that the player has applied. (So even if the server resource pack doesn't contain any HD textures or textures at all the client will still completely reload all locally applied resource packs) This is something that has to be fixed in the client by Mojang for example by only reloading resources that changed. There's not a lot I can do about that offer than advice people to put pressure on Mojang to improve that behaviour. How long this takes generally depends on the PC's performance and the size of the textures (HD packs take longer) that are used in all resource packs that the player has applied.
