AutoModpack

AutoModpack is a Minecraft modification designed to improve your private server modpack management. Say goodbye to the days of struggling to get everyone on the same version! This mod automatically synchronizes players with the server's modpack, making playing with friends incredibly smooth and hassle-free.

(This showcase video above is a little outdated, but it gives you a good idea of what AutoModpack does!)

Disclaimer: While AutoModpack is a powerful tool for managing modpacks, the content it downloads (mods, resource packs, etc.) is created by various talented developers. Please remember to respect their work and licenses. Don't use AutoModpack to mass-distribute content without explicit permission, especially for commercial purposes. Always check the licenses of the mods you include in your pack.

🔥 Why AutoModpack is Your New Best Friend

• 🔌 Plug-'n'-Play: Install the mod, and you're done! Live in perfect sync with the server's modpack forever.
• 🗽 Independent: No need for special launchers or modpack approvals from any third party service.
• 🚀 Effortless Admin Management: Easily manage mods, configs, resource packs, shaders, anything really.
• ⚡️ Direct & Respectful Downloads: The mod pulls directly from Modrinth and CurseForge APIs, so mod authors get credit for every download.
• 🔒 Secure & Speed: Encrypted, authorized, compressed, quick modpack downloads.

🛠️ How the Magic Happens

AutoModpack works by generating a modpack (a metadata file) from your files on the server, which contains description of all the files. The server then hosts that metadata and each modpack file indexed by its hash.

When a client connects to the server:

1. AutoModpack establishes a secure connection and prompts you to verify the server's certificate fingerprint.
2. It fetches the APIs for direct downloads of your modpack's files from Modrinth and CurseForge, where possible (mods, resource packs, shaders).
3. Downloads all files to the client's automodpack folder.
4. After game restart AutoModpack loads the modpack, and the client is perfectly synced and ready to play!

On subsequent game launches, AutoModpack checks for updates. If changes are detected, it updates the modpack in the background - no additional restarts are required! (unless there's an update detected while you are already in-game, there's no way around that :/)

⚠️ Security and Trust!

With great power comes great responsibility.

Be aware that this mod allows remote servers to download arbitrary executable files directly into your computer. It's crucial to only use it on servers you absolutely trust. A malicious administrator or a compromised server can include harmful files such as malware - to protect against this, please use sandboxed launchers such as Pandora or if you are on Linux, use launchers installed via Flatpak.

While AutoModpack itself tries to be as secure as possible, due to the nature of the internet, the creators and contributors of AutoModpack are not responsible for any harm, damage, loss, or issues that may result from using the mod. By using AutoModpack, you acknowledge and accept this risk.

If you have valuable security insights or concerns, please reach out! You can contact privately on Discord, publicly on Discord server or just open an issue on GitHub.

🚀 Getting Started is a Breeze!

Installing AutoModpack is as simple as installing any other mod.

1. If you have anything valuable in your Minecraft installation, make a backup before proceeding, just in case, if you are using launcher which supports multiple instances, create a new instance for AutoModpack.
2. Download the AutoModpack from the releases page on GitHub, CurseForge, or Modrinth.
3. Place the downloaded file into the /mods/ folder of both your server and client Minecraft installations.
4. Start your server and let AutoModpack generate the initial modpack metadata.
5. Connect to your server with the mod installed on your client.

That's typically all you need to do! AutoModpack will automatically create the modpack from your server's mods.

Want to customize your modpack further? Add configs, client-side-only mods, and more? Check out the documentation! There's also a start guide covering more stuff. If you encounter any issues or have questions, feel free to join Discord server or open an issue on GitHub.

Prefer an all-in-one solution? You can also use our modified Fabric installer which downloads AutoModpack alongside the Fabric loader.
