Packer

The best Minecraft modpack creation tool you know

Usage

Install with:

pip install modpacker # stable release
pip install https://github.com/Kinsteen/packer/releases/download/main/modpacker-0.0.1-py3-none-any.whl # rolling release

Run with packer! (you have to have it in path, pip will complain if it's not anyway)

Running the help will show you what you can do with it (packer --help and packer <subcommand> --help)

Creating a modpack

In an empty directory, create a packer_config.json file.

{
    "formatVersion": 1,
    "game": "minecraft",
    "versionId": "0.0.1",
    "name": "Modpack name",
    "summary": "Modpack description",
    "dependencies": {
        "minecraft": "1.21.1",
        "neoforge": "21.1.130"
    },
    "files": []
}

You can now run packer (curseforge/modrinth) add <slug> to add mods!

Create a overrides folder to have arbitrary files included in the modpack (example: /overrides/config/config.toml)

Export the modpack to .mrpack format with packer compile, or export to packwiz format with packer packwiz <packwiz export folder>.

If you want to use Git to version your modpack, you should add a .gitignore with:

/.cache
/packer_cache.json
*.mrpack

Development

Simply run:

pip install --edit ".[dev]"

You can run the formatters + linters:

./format+lint.sh
