This is a template modpack makers can use to easily release their modpack onto multiple platforms. currently this template only supports

- Please note recent API changes to curseforge have broken support for most mods from curseforge in the other three formats
- Multi/PolyMC requires users to download mods manually
- Technc requires modpack makers to download mods manually
- Modrinth just doesnt support it at all
Multi/PolyMC
Technic
Modrinth

Modpack Makers
- Well first your going to need to install busybox, git, go 7zip, and make on your computer,
- On Windows I personally reccomend getting all of these through Scoop
  - After installing scoop, just run
    - scoop install busybox git go make 7zip
- On Linux,
  - Ubuntu/Debian
    - sudo apt install git p7zip make
    - golang needs the latest release, which is unfortunately not in the repos, please manually install it, there are plenty of guides online for this
  - Arch
    - please use an AUR helper such as yay
    - yay -Syu git go p7zip make
- after you install go, run this command to install packwiz
  - go install github.com/packwiz/packwiz@latest
- I reccomend using VSCode to manage your modpack as you have a full visual editor and git manager built in.
- to add mods, run packwiz <curseforge or modrinth> install <modid>
  - for sodium from curseforge, packwiz cf install sodium
- to make a release, run make multimc or make technic
- Dont forget to make a git repo for your modpack, I reccomend using GitLab due to its free Large File Support.
  - or a place to host the packwiz-data folder!
Modpack Users
- MultiMC
  - Use Java 17, MC 1.16.5 runs just fine on forge AND fabric on java 17
