Import Instance
Importing Instances allows users to import a zipped modpack.
When creating a new instance, select the second option to Import Modpack (local file or link). The text bow will allow users to add a url where the modpack is stored. The square button to the right side of the text bow will allow users to find the modpack on the local computer.
- Currently, only modpacks with the .zip extension can be added.
The main component of a modpack is the /minecraft folder. This is where all of the basic files are located including options.txt, saves and resourcepacks. Optionally, users can add custom instance versions in the /patches folder and jarmods in the /jarmods folder. These are the only folders that are allowed outside of the /minecraft folder.
Any mods that a modpack created could want can be placed inside the /minecraft/mods folder and their respective configs can be placed in the /minecraft/config folder.
Importing will expanded upon in the near future to allow for importing of modpacks from other minecraft launchers. This will phase out FTB tracking support in favor of importing the instances. It will also allow support for importing from the following minecraft launchers.
- Vanilla Launcher
- FTB Launcher
- ATLauncher
- Tekkit Launcher
