How to install a minecraft modpack

On this page you will learn the following about Minecraft mods:

What are Minecraft mods?

Mods are player-oriented additions to video games. Even though Minecraft is already a real success in its raw form (vanilla version), the need for further improvements was there from the very beginning. Since then, a whole virtual library of mods has come into existence, adapted to the respective game versions. This is very important, since only mods that are compatible with the respective version can be loaded into Minecraft.

Usually, mods are downloaded on well-known platforms (e.g. Minecraft Forum or Curseforge) and then inserted into the game with a so-called modloader. There are several modloaders, but the most famous and popular one is Forge. After that, you can start the mod (with the appropriate version) after adjusting a few settings.

Available Minecraft Modpacks at GPORTAL

Modpacks are a compilation of various (usually very popular) mods in one package. It avoids the time-consuming single installations of many Minecraft mods at once and sometimes has a theme-based background.

All Minecraft modpacks have been tested for functionality on GPORTAL test servers with 4 slots. You can find them here as a list: GPORTAL Minecraft Modpacks

Customize and update Minecraft modpacks

To customize mod packs on your server, you need to download them via an FTP connection. A popular FTP client is FileZilla.

Connect to your server using the FTP client. FTP data can be found on the GPORTAL web interface.

You can find an extensive collection of mods on the Curseforge.com website. To install the Minecraft mods, proceed as follows:

1. Download the mod with the right version of the game
2. Upload the mod to the server
3. Load the mod into your client’s mod directory

Important note Settings on the mod pack must be made on both the client as well as the server mod pack.

me too, I hope someone tells me how to fix this

If you mean the issue in the last post (you should really have made a new thread in Support, not posted to a year old thread for a completely different thing in a completely different section), that is caused by using Java 9 or later, which causes issues with many mods since they use a buggy Mojang library (this is one reason why Mojang provides their own runtime, which should be used even if it is "outdated", which means nothing if the program was written for that version of Java. Many people also still try to use obsolete JVM arguments, like CMS incremental mode and PermSize):

//github.com/Mojang/LegacyLauncher/issues/20

//bugs.mojang.com/browse/MC-131315

(this is yet another reason not to use Forge for mods; even Java 8 causes Forge for 1.6.4 to crash but the game itself doesn't, same for my own mods, including manual installation of Optifine (the "launchwrapper" seems to be an API used to load mods at runtime instead of modifying the jar on disk, which Mojang highly disproves of based in their measures to stop it, like redownloading a clean jar unless you block the download (which is actually pretty easy), probably to prevent people from distributing modded jars, as I've seen people do before, instead of only distributing the modded files)

After the pack completes its download an installation, it will now appear as a new profile under your Minecraft tab:

CurseForge Website

The CurseForge website allows you to download a modpack and install it to the app by using the 'Import' feature. This can be done in a few steps:

• Navigate to the modpack you would like to import on //www.curseforge.com/minecraft/modpacks.
• Click 'Files', choose the version of the modpack that you would like to install and download it:
  
  
• Once the modpack has downloaded you can click the 'Create Custom Profile' button in the app, and then click 'Import':
  
  
• Navigate to the downloaded file, select it and click 'Open':

• The app will now take care of the importing process and once it's done you will have the 'Play' button ready :)

*Please note that imported modpacks do not maintain a link to the original project, so you won't be notified of updates. Therefore, we recommend using the first option mentioned in this article, which is browsing or searching for modpacks and then installing them from within the CurseForge app.
