Minecraft CurseForge

Since I could not find anywhere else to do so, I created this thread for questions regarding modpack submission.

I'll start this thread off by asking about a couple mods and how to add them to my modpacks. Specifically, Atomic Stryker's Multi Mine and Stalker Creepers. Both mods download as a .zip with both the mod and Atomic Stryker's update checker mod and these files must be removed from the .zip and placed in the mods folder manually. If i just add the mods to the manifest, the launcher downloads the .zip files and the mods won't work, but I am afraid that if I put these mods in the mods folder, my pack will get declined for these mods not being on the third party list.

Edit: AtomicStryker seems to do this alot, because his mod Minions is also like this.

Hi,

 

I also would like more information on how to submit a modpack. I created the project on the CurseForge website with the description, and I have the modpack ready on MultiMC. What format does the pack have to be to upload it and make it available on Curse Voice?

 

Also I know there are several mods that require permissions or notifications to be added to a modpack, where do I submit those permissions for verification when I have them all ready?

 

Thanks in advance.

http://authors.curseforge.com/knowledge-base/120-minecraft-modpack-submission This explains how to submit modpacks. If reading it doesn't help, watch the video.  

I've watched the video and everything, but when i upload my file it always tells me that it gets rejected because the manifest.json file is not valid. Can some one tell me what I am doing wrong because I have redone the manifest file 3 times now.

 Paste your manifest into a spoiler and I'll see if i can find the problem. I don't know much about the proper format for it, but ill take a look at it and compare it to mine. I haven't had many problems with invalid manifests though.

 Sorry. I couldn't find the problem, but like i said, I don't know much about the format. Everything look the same as my manifest though.

ok thank you anyways for looking at it

I figured out the issue.

When zipping the pack the program was creating a zip with a folder in which it was placing all the other folders so i had to move the other folders out of the one and directly onto the zip file.

I can't seem to find why this modpack is being rejected... the 4 mods that are in override are Additionalpipes, Big Reactors, Mekanism and Torcherino all of them I found on the 3rd party page. My zip has the configs Mods(the 4 I read off) and scripts (for minetweaker) oh and it has the manifest.json.  I used the export button in curse to make the pack any ideas what could be wrong

Do you play your pack with mods like fastcraft or optifine and are just forgetting to remove them from the mods folder? That's why my pack keeps getting rejected is because I play with both those mods and forget to remove them from the mods folder when I upload the pack.

Also, the message saying your pack was rejected says why it is rejected. examples: invalid manifest or third party files are not allowed.

nope I removed optifine... So i updated the same zip as before and it got uploaded... so idk what was going on

I've had a moderator decline my pack for a third party mod that was on the mods list because the page wasn't loading correctly for them. It got sorted out eventually though.

Here is a video by jaddedcat you could watch that explains everything and is actually how I found out how to upload a modpack

It's a bit lengthy but it does the trick
