Creating a Modrinth modpack

[hearty spindle]

oh, so you don't have an instance yet?

could you explain from the beginning what you're trying to do?

what is the end goal here

[strong garden]

I would like to upload my modpack, but the rmpack is missing

sorry if i'm vain D:

[hearty spindle]

Do you have your modpack currently as an instance in the Modrinth App?

the screenshot you sent is to create an instance, but it sounds like you already made the modpack?

what are you trying to upload?

[strong garden]

yes, I put the modpack on the modrinth website but also in the apk, but unfortunately I took it back and now I'm editing the modpack, but I came to ask in advance so that I don't have to change it again

[hearty spindle]

What launcher are you using to create the modpack?

Modrinth App?

[strong garden]

I had a normal minecraft launcher on the testing modpack and then I put it in the app

[hearty spindle]

so you have your modpack as an instance in the Modrinth App?

[strong garden]

I don't have it because at first it didn't work because the rmpack was said to be missing and then I removed it due to editing

[hearty spindle]

I'm not sure what you mean

[strong garden]

ok i try

[hearty spindle]

You can't use the vanilla Minecraft Launcher to create .mrpacks, you need a launcher that supports Modrinth Packs to do so

so you will need to create your instance with one of the supported launchers (Modrinth App, Prism, MultiMC, ATLauncher) first

Then, when you're done with the modpack you can export it as a .mrpack file

[strong garden]

I used a normal launcher to compile the modpack

[hearty spindle]

The normal launcher cannot create Modrinth Packs (.mrpack) though

[strong garden]

but tried modrinth app on running modpack

wait i create it but I couldn't do it before

I shouldn't have put the modpack there, right?

[hearty spindle]

That is for importing .mrpacks

But you don't have an .mrpack yet, correct?

normal Minecraft Launcher does not create .mrpacks

[strong garden]

hmm

aha, I put the modpack in the second one

import from file

[hearty spindle]

You don't have a file though?

Can you show me the file you are trying to import?

[strong garden]

I have the instance but there is no modpack

[hearty spindle]

I'm sorry, I don't understand

I think the language barrier is too high

[hearty spindle]

what type of file is this?

[strong garden]

zip

[hearty spindle]

What's inside it?

[strong garden]

mods

[hearty spindle]

it's just your mods folder?

[strong garden]

yes

only mods

[hearty spindle]

Ok. Create a new instance in the Modrinth App, and select the mod loader and game version you want to use

let me know when you have done that

[strong garden]

Yes, I have

[strong garden]

,

[hearty spindle]

Ok, now click on the instance, do you see a page that looks similar to this?

[strong garden]

yes

i have

[hearty spindle]

Ok, now unzip this file

and inside it there is a folder called mods right?

[strong garden]

I put the mods in the zip and there is no back folder with mods

there are only mods

[hearty spindle]

Ok, click this button to open the folder for your instance

And take the mods out of the zip and put them in the mods folder inside your instance's folder

[strong garden]

i have

[hearty spindle]

Ok, now you should see all the mods in the Modrinth App, right?

[dawn wadi]

might need to F5 in modrinth app to force it to refresh

[strong garden]

yes

i try

[hearty spindle]

Ok, try hitting Play to test it and make sure the instance works

[strong garden]

yes works

[hearty spindle]

Great, now you can use this button to export as .mrpack

[strong garden]

yes

[hearty spindle]

Now, when you upload to Modrinth.com, you need to make sure you are only using mods that are on Modrinth or that you have license or permission to redistribute

[strong garden]

good
