Minecraft – Force texture pack or mod on minecraft server

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-java-edition-servermods

I have a minecraft server with DaddyCheese with the server JAR using Bukkit 1.2.3.

Is there a plugin that would allow me to force a certain texture pack?

I read about SproutCraft which looks nice, but would the clients have to have something additional on their machine to connect/see the mods?

EDIT
Since this question has been viewed over 1k times now it may be worth mentioning that you can do this in Tekkit – Googling "Tekkit and SphaxpureDBcraft" seems to bring up some useful info

Yes, any mod that forced players to use a specific texture pack would also require the players to have something locally, to check with the server and see what pack it's using, then download and activate that pack.

In Minecraft 1.3, a minecraft server will have the ability to recommend and provide a download of a texture pack.

On Service Pack 3, there seems to be a lot of problems you apparently can't get around.

Minecraft – “Minecraft Offline.bat” With HD texture pack Fix

That command line allows Minecraft to use extra memory and use an "offline" player name, but does not itself fix any problems with HD textures. Make sure you have the correct mod installed.

Update: I think I just figured out what's going on. That command pulls in all the .jar files in your .minecraft/bin folder. Well, it happens that the patcher used by the HD textures fix creates a backup of your original, unmodified minecraft.jar file in that same folder, which I suspect is conflicting with and overriding your mods.

Find that backup file (it should be minecraft-1.8.1.jar if you're using the latest version) and move it somewhere else (or just delete it). I expect that will get things working again.
