mkr1977 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 We've seen the debate about modpacks rage here. I do not intend to rehash old debates. I consider the idea of modpacks dead. What we need are mod configuration files. A mod configuration file would tell Vortex how to treat mods, how to download them, and how to organize and arrange them for compatibility. Once all the mods are downloaded, the mods would then be configured according to the specifications contained within the mod configuration file. The job of vortex is to configure. Unfortunately, it doesn't do that task very well, and the complexity of mod configurations means that vortex must be given functionality to handle mod configuration files so vortex knows what to do.

HadToRegister Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 This would be the best solution, as every mod author would still get their individual downloads for the 'pack' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickysaurus Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I'm going to lock this, because it'll probably descend into the rampant speculation/misinformation due to the polarising nature of the "ModPacks" issue. We've said before, we are working on a system similar to Steam Collections. There are no plans to do "ModPacks" in the Minecraft sense (one download with all the mods). There's not really anything more to say on the matter at the moment. Once we get closer to release though, we'll be asking for more community feedback (we've already done a lot of research).
