Modpack Format - Mod Groups and Descriptions

CodeF53 opened this issue · 1 comments

Problem

Some modpack developers may want to add a lot of optional mods, and it would be helpful if we could put mods into categories

Solution

Add 2 optional tags for instances in the files array:\

  • group
    • subgroups with group\subgroup
    • mods with the same group with be listed together under a category named the value of group
    • these groups could have a checkbox on them to enable all the mods within them and a drop down to collapse the group
  • description
    • a place to explain what a mod does and why you would want it

Alternative solutions

Create Dummy ""Mods"" and use them as headers for mod groups
