## Update Pack Template
|
|
This is a template modpack makers can use to easily release their modpack onto multiple platforms.
|
|
currently this template only supports
|
|
- Windows
|
|
- Technic
|
|
- MultiMC
|
|
|
|
### How to use this?
|
|
- Modpack Makers
|
|
- Well first your going to need to install `busybox`, `git`, `7zip`, and `make` on your computer, I personally reccomend getting all of these through [Scoop](https://scoop.sh/)
|
|
- After installing scoop, just run
|
|
- `scoop install busybox git make 7zip`
|
|
- and everything should be there,
|
|
- I reccomend using VSCode to manage your modpack as you have a full visual editor and git manager built in.
|
|
- TO build a release, you simply need to open a terminal, (git-bash, cmd, or even powershell) inside the modpack folder, and run `make <insert release>`, for example, `make technic` will make a technic release zip, and running it again will modify it so it doesnt have issues with having to make a new file share link, same with `multimc`
|
|
|
|
- Dont forget to make a git repo for your modpack, I reccomend using [GitLab](https://gitlab.com) due to its free Large File Support.
|
|
|
|
- There are a few files you will need to edit as a maintainer to properly use this tool,
|
|
- `Makefile`
|
|
- Edit this so that you can name your release zips how you want them to
|
|
- `.gitignore`
|
|
- Your modpack will create files that can and most likely will create issues with the updater, input the filepaths you wish for the updater to ignore, (usually files/folders that do not need to be bundled as they will be automatically created)
|
|
- `.minecraft/icon.png`
|
|
- This is your Modpack Icon, please change it, you may alter this one if you do not have one made specifically for you, the image is a 32x32 pixel image scaled up to 1024x1024
|
|
|
|
- I highly suggest using this mod or simular to push custom configs as players may make changes to their settings which *will* break the updater
|

|
|
|
|
- Modpack Users
|
|
- MultiMC
|
|
- Add this into your instance settings
|
|
- `$INST_DIR/update-pack.exe`
|
|
- 
|
|
- Technic
|
|
- Nothing, your modpack maintainer will use this tool to make new technic releases automatically |
