Skyshayde Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 So, I hate to be "That Noob" but, for the life of me, I just can't figure this out. What all do I put in the zips for custom modpacks, the mods folder? Will it autoinstall forge? Would zipping the mods folder work? Is it the minecraft.jar? Thanks all!

tntexplosivesltd Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I felt I had to comment here Why do we have to sit through an eight-minute video of some american guy saying what could be said in half the time in order to find out how to make a custom modpack? I gave up trying to download the video, not everyone has fast internet. How hard would it be to post clear instructions in an efficient textual format? I get sick of this mentality of "watch a youtube video to find out how to do something" If someone else has managed to sit through this video, can they please post instructions on how to do it? This kind of thing REALLY bugs me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyshayde Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 Ehm, basically, zip the contents of a .minecraft folder. have them put the url in, and choose one of the custom modpacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakachu Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 here's your concise explanation: create a zip file with the same folder structure as the minecraft folder. i.e. a mods folder, a config folder, a bin folder, etc. put the files you want to add or overwrite into the correct folders, mods in the mods folder, config files in config, etc. you don't need folders you aren't changing anything in, so if you're not messing with modpack.jar you don't need a bin folder in your zip. replacing mods requires that you name the file the same, even if it's an upgraded version. host your zip file somewhere. put the URL to your zip in the custom zip box. you're done.
