Dev: We’ve isolated the root cause of this issue, as the PS4 handles downloading differently than other platforms, with a potential bug causing the download cache to get full with no way to clear it. A fix is in the works for that, hopefully coming soon, along with increased readability for the error popup letting users know what actions to take. Adding in auto-clearing if it’s detected to be catastrophically low like some of these comments indicate, and a button on the storage menu to clear it out manually. I’m also fighting for increased visibility in the storage menu itself, but since this is unique to PS4/5, it's an uphill battle.
Sadly the “Earthy Texture Pack” Is actually too large to be downloaded via normal means on the PS4 console, the download cache has a maximum capacity of 650MB, with Earthy Textures being larger than that, so no amount of deleting anything will be able to fix that. We’re still in discussions on what to actually do with that pack and any others that may be like it. I’m honestly surprised players are able to get it downloaded via joining an active server that already has it running. So maybe request a refund on that item if you’re planning on playing it exclusively on the PS4, as any fix for that will be much further down the line.
For those experiencing this issue, don’t bother deleting worlds, that will not solve anything as worlds are stored in a separate space as far as I could tell.
Sorry that this has taken so long to get fixed, and that I can’t offer a workaround.
