DLC Manager
by CoZooo
With DLC Manager, players switch optional mod, resource pack and data pack content on and off from an in-game screen, without editing folders by hand.
What it does
The mod gives modpack players a UI where optional content is grouped into a list and can be enabled or disabled in one place. Entries cover mods, resource packs, data packs and other add-ons such as TACZ gun packs. Each entry can point to several paths, separated by commas, and paths are read relative to the modpack root unless an absolute path is given.
When a change is applied, the mod chooses how to take effect: changes to mods or TACZ content prompt a restart, while changes to other content trigger a resource reload. Required dependencies are Architectury API, Fabric Language Kotlin, Kotlin for Forge, MaFgLib and MaLiLib. The environment is client-side only, so the server does not need it, and the mod is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge with files for 1.20.1, 1.21 and 1.21.1, under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
In-game DLC manager screen
A dedicated screen lists optional content so players can see what is installed without leaving the game.
Single place to toggle content
Enabling and disabling DLC happens from one list, with no need to move files between folders.
Grouped list view
Entries are organized into groups, which keeps large modpacks with many add-ons easier to scan.
Apply mode by change type
Mod and TACZ changes are marked for a restart, and other changes reload resources, so the right action is shown.
Automatic tooltips
Hover tooltips describe each entry, and the DLC Root setting defines where paths start.

Who it’s for: Players of modpacks that ship optional add-ons, and modpack authors who want those add-ons toggled in-game.
