Throughout the first year or so of the [[Dogcraft Server]], a '''Server [[minecraft:Resource Pack|Resource Pack]]''' was in use. This meant players were prompted to download and use a pack that changed the textures of the world. The pack used on the Dogcraft Server was the modified version of ''[https://www.johnsmithlegacy.co.uk/ John Smith Legacy]'' that [[ReNDoG]] used on his ''[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2E5FCDE4411B4DC5 Let's Play Minecraft]'' series.

== Modifications ==

The modifications were made by an unknown [[Dogcraft.net]] forum member for [[ReNDoG]] and they changed the texture of [[minecraft:Block of Gold|gold blocks]] to use a golden brick texture, which was designed to compliment the aesthetic of ''Grannydog's Monument''; a golden structure to honor the passing of Rendog's grandmother that became a feature of his world. A super-scale version of the monument was later recreated by community members on the Server, positioned above the roof of [[Spawn Station (Survival 1)|Spawn Station]] on the first Survival world.

== Pack usage ==
From the launch of the server in September 2015 through to late 2016, the pack was enabled on all worlds of the server; [[Survival]], [[MCMMO]], [[Amplified]] & [[Skyblock]]; as well as the various [[Minigames]] available at the time. Since players were prompted to use the pack every time they joined (unless disabled or rejected), the pack was widely used and this is why many screenshots taken during early server history are taken with the pack installed. A number of players on the server opted to not use the pack and instead use vanilla textures or a different pack; players would often cite long download times and lagginess when joining putting them off from using the server resource pack.

== Discontinuation ==
The number of players who opted to not use the pack had grown by late 2016. By 2017 and with the release of [[minecraft:Exploration Update|Minecraft 1.11]] and subsequent server update the resource pack was either switched off or broken, likely due to it not containing up-to-date textures as well as ReNDoG's own gradual move away from the pack. Furthermore, the upcoming release of ''[[minecraft:World of Color|Minecraft 1.12: World of Color]]'' was set to change the colors of wool and dye, which led to players installing preview wool color textures to ensure their builds would not look ugly due to the texture changes when the server updated. This led to a phenomenon whereby players would identify which pack their build looked best in, sometimes leaving signs and notices to inform visitors. Other builders opted to update builds with Vanilla textures in mind. By the release of Minecraft 1.12, most players had abandoned the use of John Smith on the server.
