No Plans to Implement Remove Forced Texture Pack

First of all, it's shady. You want to force us into downloading an encrypted file that is painful to decrypt while hiding its contents, so I do not know what it contains. Second, it removes the ability for players to use better textures than the ones given or allow others to make texture packs because you can't override the textures. Either remove the restrictions or allow us to change the weight of the pack.

Don't quote me, but I'm pretty sure the resource pack on Loka is just an "overlay" and not a download. If you try to search for the texture pack in your Minecraft folder I haven't found it at least. A way to change textures would be nice tho.

Mojang simply would not have made server resource packs a thing if they were not secure. It also does not modify any vanilla textures (it only contains custom ones!). Thus, you are wrong and can use other packs freely.

It is a download, if you go to the downloads folder, there is a file called log. From there, you can see the log of downloads from when you join a server with a pack. Loka, goes through an extra effort of using encryption that is extremely hard to decrypt; so far I’ve only found one tool that can actually decrypt it. Essentially, the way it works is when you join the server, your game receives a download link, and with that download link, it receives the pack and its encryption key. Once you leave the server, or it could be game altogether not sure which, your game deletes the files.

No you cannot, this is a categorically false statement. Any texture that the LokaPack overrides prevents any other pack from using textures for those items and custom model data. This completes prevents custom packs using alternative textures made for those items that already have a texture because the server pack always takes precedence over any and all client resource packs.

The 128x resource pack I just spent a couple of months making is now useless. Also, from what I can tell, based on testing with the Auru build server, the zip file can contain absolutely anything that is put into it.

Edit: Had to remove the video, I was getting accused of having malice intentions and of aiding people stealing the textures to use off of Loka.
