Custom URLs

[MothMan8]

I have been trying to use one of the blank custom templates to make a custom private modpack, but i cant get a URL for the folder. i watched the video and it didnt help. Is there a way to get the URL for the folder without using dropbox, how do get the URL. Sorry if i'm speaking gibberish, but i just cant figure out how to.

you need to upload it somewhere. dropbox is an easy way to do that if you know how to use it, but it is not the only way. however, if this is confusing you to the degree it appears to be, you might be better off asking someone you know who didn't get a frontal lobotomy recently.

okay thanks, i will just install dropbox then and try that out.

Didn't work , must be doing it wrong. Pardon my stupidity, but is there a way of making a private custom modpack without using a URL.

the amount of comedy gold contained in this one line is amazing.

to answer your question, no. you can't make a custom pack without a URL.

I think I remember hearing that you could use a file:// url if you're just testing on a local system. So if your zip is in your home folder on windows, you could do

file://C:/Users/username/filename.zip

or on mac,

file:///Users/username/filename.zip

technically, that's still a URL. but if you're going to only be using the custom pack yourself, you may as well install the mods into it yourself and be done with it. no need to fool around with custom zip files and all that stuff

It can be useful for just testing a zip quickly, without needing any external tools, which is slightly useful in my opinion.

edit: And it does technically answer the OPs question. :P
