Creation

With this tool you can create modpacks and share them with your friends. Now the tool doesn't allow you to create a .modpack file or something like that to automatically open it and start installing the modpack, but work is in progress and everything is possible

How to?

When you open the tool, this UI will apear, clik on create
to open creator UI

After clicking on it, you will se something like this

Fill the info starting from the modpack name, here goes
your modpack name, it can contain special characters

After doing that, you must sepecify the authors of the modpack
You should put the mod authors of the modpack that requires you to
leave credits if you use his mod on a modpack, and yours

After setting authors, you must tell the creator what's the version of the modpack
THIS IS NOT MINECRAFT VERSION

Then you must set the modpack description, here you should put
a little bit of what the modpack is orientated on and credits for
the mods that requires it, or a link to your community

And finally, select the forge/liteloader version and configure the
modpack options using the options pane on the right

modpack generated files and click create

After making sure the tool coppied all the mods and versions
locate roaming folder and open the folder MPU/modpacks
after that, open the folder with the name of your modpack and open it
Finally, open the upload folder and copy all the files inside of it
to your host ( If you specified the host url as https://myhost.com/modpacks/mymodpack )
you must upload these files into ftp://myhost.com/modpacks/mymodpack

Wait, I don't have a host

This tool requires you a host to download the files
remotely


Nice, but... how to download it?

It's the most easy thing to do, if you uploaded the modpack to a host
put that host url into Download url input

You will see that red border, that's because your url isn't pointing
to the .mpu file you should be uploaded to your host, fix it by
adding "/.mpu"

Finally click on "Download" and enjoy!

But hey, my host url is too long and it looks bad!

Don't worry, you can share the .mpu file with your friends/community
and tell them to open it using the "Open" button
in the tool

And say them to click download button after it
the tool should read from the local .mpu file


Yay, you're done!
