# ModpackUpdater

A tool to update and install modpacks from a simple url, this tool allows you to include shaders and texture packs

[Official McMarket url](https://www.mc-market.org/resources/16787/)



## Creation

With this tool you can create modpacks and share them with your friends.

Now the tool doesn't allow you to create a .modpack file or something

like that to automatically open it and start installing the modpack,

but work is in progress and everything is possible



## How to?

When you open the tool, this UI will apear, clik on create


to open creator UI


![creator.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/create.png)





After clicking on it, you will se something like this


![creator_pane_1.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/creator_pane_1.png)





Fill the info starting from the modpack name, here goes


your modpack name, it can contain special characters


![creator_pane_name.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/creator_pane_name.png)





After doing that, you must sepecify the authors of the modpack


You should put the mod authors of the modpack that requires you to


leave credits if you use his mod on a modpack, and yours


![creator_pane_author.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/creator_pane_author.png)





After setting authors, you must tell the creator what's the version of the modpack


***THIS IS NOT MINECRAFT VERSION***


![creator_pane_version.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/creator_pane_version.png)





Then you must set the modpack description, here you should put


a little bit of what the modpack is orientated on and credits for


the mods that requires it, or a link to your community


![creator_pane_description.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/creator_pane_description.png)





And finally, select the forge/liteloader version and configure the
 

modpack options using the options pane on the right

![creator_option_misc.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/creator_option_misc.png)





And as a final step, make sure the url is pointing to where you will upload


modpack generated files and click create


![creator_pane_2.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/creator_pane_2.png)





After making sure the tool coppied all the mods and versions


locate roaming folder and open the folder MPU/modpacks


after that, open the folder with the name of your modpack and open it


Finally, open the upload folder and copy all the files inside of it


to your host ( If you specified the host url as https://myhost.com/modpacks/mymodpack )


you must upload these files into ftp://myhost.com/modpacks/mymodpack


![final_step.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/final_step.png)




## Wait, I don't have a host

This tool requires you a host to download the files


remotely








## Nice, but... how to download it?

It's the most easy thing to do, if you uploaded the modpack to a host


put that host url into *Download url* input


![download_1.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/download_1.png)





You will see that red border, that's because your url isn't pointing


to the .mpu file you should be uploaded to your host, fix it by


adding "/.mpu"


![download_final.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/download_final.png)


Finally click on "Download" and enjoy!





## But hey, my host url is too long and it looks bad!

Don't worry, you can share the .mpu file with your friends/community


and tell them to open it using the "Open" button


in the tool


![download_locally_final.png](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KarmaConfigs/ModpackUpdater/master/imgs/download_locally_final.png)


And say them to click download button after it


the tool should read from the local .mpu file








### Yay, you're done!
