Olafski Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hey all, I know I'm not supposed to ask about ETA, but I think this does not 100% qualify as an ETA question. I'm wondering why the only versions of Minecraft I can select for my modpack are up to 1.5.2. Is there a specific reason for this (and as such, will this never be supported)? Or is it just that you guys haven't gotten around to it. I spent most of my weekend getting a bunch of mods together for our new server, only to find out my favorite launcher does not support this version Now I'm wondering if I should wait until 1.6.2 is supported (might be worth it, considering not all mods are up to date yet), or just try to package it myself and supply installation instructions to my friends. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaxter Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 1.6 changed a lot regarding how the minecraft client and launcher operates. The Technic team is working on it, but it will most likely take some time. I run a custom mod pack server too, and I use 1.6.4 in my modpack through the regular Minecraft launcher. Just make the mods and configs folder as a zip and tell your friends to install Forge themselves for now. That's what I'm doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theprolo Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Source? Olloth in the IRC. I believe the subject is something like that at the moment, too. EDIT: IRC topic: "If you have a question just ask it! | 1.6 beta launcher is being enabled TODAY! If you do NOT want your settings to automatically migrate, please select the STABLE stream. BETA AT YOUR OWN RISK | Grats Olloth, hired by Amazon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olafski Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Just saw the topic on IRC as well. But since nobody answered me there, and to save this "for posterity", does anyone know if at that same moment we will be able to create 1.6 modpacks? Or just a new launcher to start testing with?

Lethosos Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Oh great, I'm disappointed again. This is what happens when I get my hopes up! Next time, put it up on a high shelf. Less strain on the arms from holding them up. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olafski Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Alright guys, thanks for all the answers! Looks like I'll have to wait a bit longer. I think I'll just make a zip package for now, I'm sure I can figure out how to transfer that to the launcher later so I can update mods without having to email people all the time :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
