After looking at a lot of plots, I've realized that a few of them say that they are best viewed with certain texture packs. Rather than making the admins download and load these texture packs to view a plot, what if the server used a plugin that automagically loads a texture pack for a certain plot that the plot owner linked it to? For instance, if I had a plot that used a certain pack, I could do "/p texturepack *link to custom pack*" or a file name on your computer that then uploads the file to the server. I know that there is a plugin that can change a player's texture pack in-game, so it could just detect what plot it is in, and change the player's pack to whatever pack it is in that plot (or the default if none specified). I don't know if the whole texture pack linking or uploading could work, but if possible this would be really cool.

there is an unresolved problem
staff would still be downloading the resource pack, which most likely waste valuable internet for some staff or all depending on whether or not the pack makes any difference to the quality of the build. and considering mojang removed all extra metadata spaces form being used, I highly doubt any difference worthy of extra points would be apparent, regardless of the method used to judge the plots.
best viewed in is a luxury that we cannot afford as it will may prove easier to gain builder rank and also easy access to the build server, which is already pitifully easy to earn. we cannot risk the work already done by others by making allowances for players needs. after all a true good build is not defined by what resource pack it is made with, but as to how it looks in general.

Firstly, if you feel it is too easy to get in, that's something to bring up with Hellomynameis99. I didn't mean it as something that would make it easier to get in to the server, it is purely an aesthetic thing. And anyways if we use a custom pack for the server, it probably will be a similar style to any pack someone says their thing looks best with. Downloading texture packs isn't resource-intensive either... I don't know what you mean by "a luxury that we cannot afford" because the plugin for this is already written. It would take the devs all of 10 minutes to set up. :/ I may just not be understanding you correctly, but I just don't really see where you are coming from...
