Modpacking

Making a modpack:

Make a modpack.json file in your instance folder.

Paste this inside and edit to liking:

{
    "version": 1.0,
    "modpackname": "Lowmango's Modpack"
}

Version doesnt matter so long as its numeric. Gonna be used for automatic modpack updates in the future.

The modpack name is going to be in a folder named the same as it, so make sure it complies to standard folder naming. (ascii, no fancy/special characters)

Compress your .minecraft folder into a ZIP file. It CANNOT be a .rar, .7z or anything else.

Rename your .minecraft.zip to something else e.g.: my fantastic modpack.zip. Done!

Final structure of the .zip should be:

modpack.zip

• .minecraft
• • bin
• • resources
• • mods
• • options.txt
• • modpack.json
