Automatic Modpack Installer Generator

[vivid elk]

I got tired of walking my friends through the process of installing modpacks, so I made a program that can generate an installer for any modpack you give it: https://github.com/Igrium/PackMaker

make sure that mrpacks with .. files error!

../../../../../Google Chrome/sneakyfile.exe

[vivid elk]

yup got that

Though I've never quite understood the severity of that vulnerability. A bad actor could just put a malicious mod in the pack

[silver gazelle]

at least the malicious mod isn't run until you launch the modpack

with a malicious install, stuff could happen even if you aren't playing the modpack

@grand trout ^ ?

Isn't this what we need?

I know skye is working on one, but here's one now

[grand trout]

hmm, perhaps

[bold dragon]

Does this install fabric too, or nah?

[gilded swift]

which will automate the process of installing the modpack, alongside Fabric and the right version of Minecraft.

O

Lol

From what I understand, you need to create one installer for each version of the pack. it's cool but I prefer having an installer able to install multiple versions of the same pack

It's not supposed to be a replacement for an actual launcher or modpack manager. It's basically for when you want to invite a friend to your modded server or smth without the hassle of walking them through setting it all up

True, but let's be real: who actually installs a modpack but never opens it

[silver gazelle]

an actual use case is someone checking a modpack's files before playing it
