Configuration

Configuration

In the configs folder of the minecraft installation, create a folder called mod-director. Every file in there will now be a configuration for the mod director. These files need to follow a certain scheme, for more info on that, see here.

In general, the structure might look like this:

.minecraft
|- config
  |- mod-director
    |- modpack.json
    |- optifine.url.json
    |- jei.curse.json
  |- another-mod
|- resourcepacks
|- shaderpacks

modpack.json

This is a special file containing meta information about your modpack. You can put information which you want to be displayed during installation here. See Modpack for furhter information.

Naming your files

Ideally, you should name your configurations files like <modid>.<download type>.json. This scheme is kind of enforced, due to the fact, that the file needs to end with certain names to be recognized.

So some names could be:

• optifine.url.json
• jei.curse.json
• open-computers.curse.json
• your-mod.url.json
