I got tired of manually downloading mods one by one, so I built a tool to do it for you: CraftPacker, a simple bulk mod downloader.

Hey r/feedthebeast!

Like many of you, I love creating custom modpacks or setting up small servers for friends. But I always found the initial setup of downloading dozens of mods and their dependencies from Modrinth a bit of a chore.

So, I built a simple app called **CraftPacker** to automate the process.

**The idea is simple:** you give it a list of mod names, and it downloads them—and all their required dependencies—for the Minecraft version and mod loader you specify.

# What it can do:

* **Bulk Download from a List:** Just paste a list of mod names and let it run.
* **Automatic Dependency Resolution:** It automatically finds and downloads all the required dependencies for every mod in your list.
* **Import from Existing Folder:** You can point it at an old mods folder to generate a list, which is great for updating packs.
* **Simple GUI with Dark Mode:** Clean, easy to use, and has a dark mode toggle.
* **Standalone & Open Source:** It's a single download, no installation needed, and the code is fully open for anyone to see.

# How to download it:

You can grab the latest version from the GitHub Releases page.

1. **Download here:** [**https://github.com/helloworldx64/CraftPacker/releases**](https://github.com/helloworldx64/CraftPacker/releases)
2. Download the [`CraftPacker-vX.X.X.zip`](http://CraftPacker-vX.X.X.zip) file.
3. **Extract the .zip file** to a folder on your computer.
4. Run `CraftPacker.exe` from inside the extracted folder.

# A Few Quick Notes (FAQ):

* **Is it safe?** Yes. It's completely open source, and you can view all the code on the [main GitHub page](https://github.com/helloworldx64/CraftPacker). *Note: Because it's a new executable, some antivirus programs might show a warning (a common issue with tools like this), but the code is fully visible for anyone to inspect.*
* **How is this different from Prism/ATLauncher/etc.?** It's not meant to replace full-fledged launchers! Think of it as a simple, lightweight tool for one specific job: getting a bunch of mod files quickly. It's great for quickly setting up a personal pack or a server from a simple text file without needing a launcher installed.

This is a personal project, and I'd love to hear what you think. Please let me know if you have any feedback, feature suggestions, or find any bugs!

I thought CABIN was a modpack about factory. It turned out to be a farming simulator.

Is there a modpack that has good progression but also has good exploration?

I don’t know if this make sense but I want a modpack where there’s no quests or quests aren’t the main focus. You explore and as you find new items or fight certain bosses, more items are unlocked or more places you can go are unlocked. I guess the best explanation is Terraria like progression.

Rebirth of the Night sounds like it might have what I want but it sounds unfinished.

Tech-magic modpacks?

So I was looking for fun minecraft modpacks to play, and all of them are the same, its tech-magic or vanilla+, and I've tried getting into tech-magic modpacks, but i just dont know where to start, do yall have any recommendations?

And I am also looking for a modpack based on a completely new idea, not like any other modpacks were before. One that is actually different from the rest, if u know what i mean, pls let me know

[Dawn Era] TRex is too common. How can I make it spawn less?

@MinecraftModded

what modpack would you recommend to someone who have only played vanilla before (aka me)

i mean i kinda want a modpack that actually have something new and make it fun to discover those new thing and not those grind 999 material to craft one item stuff.

i would love to have some mod that :
chill and cozy for single play + fantasy stuff( dragon,magic,....) like Frieren anime

maybe a guest and guide book if the modpack is too big.

thanks
