About Packwiz

packwiz is a command line tool for creating Minecraft modpacks. It creates TOML metadata files instead of managing JAR files directly, allowing packs to be version-controlled and shared with git. It supports installing and updating mods from CurseForge and Modrinth, exporting to CurseForge and Modrinth formats, and distributing packs over HTTP with a built-in local server for testing. A Java-based installer supports automatic updates for MultiMC and ATLauncher instances.

It is intended for distributing private server modpacks and creating packs for CurseForge and Modrinth. It does not manage downloaded mod files and does not include a graphical interface.
