Dough

Uncooked dough base for Minecraft Fabric modpacks. Template repo, not a finished pack.

Branches = Minecraft versions (1.21.8, 1.21.5, etc). Fork from the branch matching your target MC version, knead in your mods, ship it.

Supported launchers/platforms

• Curseforge
  • Recent Curseforge API changes broke mod downloads for the other three formats:
  • Multi/PolyMC and Technic require users to download mods manually
  • Modrinth isn't supported at all
• Multi/PolyMC
• Technic
• Modrinth

For modpack makers

1. Prerequisites

Install git, go, 7zip, make, and busybox.

• Windows (Scoop):

  scoop install busybox git go make 7zip
  

• Ubuntu/Debian:

  sudo apt install git p7zip make
  

  Go isn't in the repos at a current version — install manually from go.dev.
• Arch (via AUR helper, e.g. yay):

  yay -Syu git go p7zip make
  

Then install packwiz, the pw wrapper, and mc-server-icon (generates server-icon.png for make server):

make update-packwiz

2. Fork a branch

Branches track Minecraft versions (1.21.8, 1.21.5, etc). Fork/clone the branch matching the MC version you want, then make it your own repo.

3. Edit your pack

VSCode recommended — built-in editor and git tooling.

• Add mods: packwiz <curseforge|modrinth> install <modid>
  • e.g. packwiz cf install sodium
• Release: make multimc or make technic

Host your own repo for the pack (e.g. GitLab for free Large File Support on the packwiz-data folder).

For modpack users

• Use the Java version required by your pack's target Minecraft version.
