## 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 `, 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 - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/yosbr - Modpack Users - MultiMC - Add this into your instance settings - `$INST_DIR/update-pack.exe` - ![](https://i.imgur.com/wjBuHYG.png) - Technic - Nothing, your modpack maintainer will use this tool to make new technic releases automatically
