Description

Is there a reason why the path for the texturepack used by the server is hardcoded and not set by the same setting the client uses? It doesn't even seem to be documented anywhere?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the hardcoded server texturepack path in the source code and trace how the client texturepack setting is read. Then modify the server to use that same setting instead of the hardcoded path.
