Hi, welcome to the forums!

I believe what you're trying to ask is whether or not players will have to download your server resources each time they connect to your server.

In most cases, the answer is no, because the caching you're talking about is enabled by default. This means that once a player has connected to your server and downloaded all the necessary client files, they won't be prompted to download them again in the future.

Take note that this applies to client files that you didn't change (add/modify). If you modify existing client files and/or add new client files to your resources, players will have to download said files next time they connect to your server.
