How to upload your modpack to the system?

[freakachu]

Freakachu is it no longer required to upload our own minecraft.jar with forge injected into it?

Off Topic: I really like your avatar picture

minecraft.jar was never needed for custom zips. anything that would normally go into minecraft.jar goes into modpack.jar instead. modpack.jar is simply a file that contains everything to be merged into minecraft.jar after it's downloaded from mojang. it's how technic avoids distributing the actual game with its packs
