ModPacks (Library)
by Stoppedwumm
ModPacks is a NeoForge library for packaging Minecraft content as modpacks that load from the game's modpacks folder.
What it does
ModPacks handles modpacks in the style of resource packs and datapacks: a pack is placed in the modpacks folder inside the game directory and loaded from there, without being merged into the mods folder. The library is aimed at developers who build or distribute packs and at players who want to install a pack by copying it in.
The mod is listed under Library and Management and is published only for NeoForge, for Minecraft 1.21.1. The server and every player need the mod installed. It is released under the Apache License 2.0 and is open source, with public source code and a wiki. The first file, 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, was published on 2026-02-03 on the alpha channel.
