Name: Modpack Utils
Author: benbenlaw

Modpack Utils gives modpack developers a set of tools for changing how a pack behaves, from nether portal frames to void protection and world-type recipes.

NeoForgeClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source26.1 – 26.1.2

What it does

Modpack developers can use the mod to change several parts of a pack at once. Nether portal frame blocks can be altered, void protection can send a player back home instead of letting them take damage from falling, and end protection is available as a separate option. Recipes and loot tables can be made specific to a world type, so one pack can offer different crafting or drops depending on the world a player is in.

An update checker reads a modpack ID from the config file and tells players when a newer version of their pack is out. A Climbable tag lets developers mark chosen blocks as climbable through the modpackutils:climbable tag. The mod is a NeoForge mod for client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is published for 26.1 – 26.1.2 with 26.1.2-1.3.7 for 26.1.2 as the latest file, and the code is open source under the MIT License.

Key features

Nether portal frames
Portal frame blocks in the Nether can be changed, which suits packs that rework how portals are built.
Void protection
When enabled, falling into the void returns the player to their home rather than causing damage, a common need on skyblock maps.
World-type recipes and loot
Recipes and loot tables can be assigned per world type, letting a pack vary its content between dimensions or worlds.
Climbable tag
Blocks added to the modpackutils:climbable tag can be climbed like ladders or vines.
Modpack update checker
The mod reads a modpack ID from its config and informs players when an update to their pack is available.

Use cases

Skyblock packs

Void protection and the update checker suit skyblock modpacks, where falling into the void is a frequent event.

Who it’s for: Modpack developers who want a single mod supplying several server-side and world-level tweaks. Players receive the update notices but do not otherwise configure the mod.
