Packwiz Modpack with Github Actions

This repo is a template for creating a packwiz modpack with an auto-updating prism launcher modpack using Github Actions to push updates to Github Pages and Releases. It can also publish updates to Curseforge and/or Modrinth, provided a token and project ID.

Usage

0. Clone/Fork/Download this template onto your pc
1. Enter the packwiz folder and edit the pack.toml or run packwiz init -r
2. Enter the prism folder and edit the instance.cfg, specifically the name and PreLaunchCommand variables
3. Create a new instance in Prism Launcher with your desired Minecraft and modloader versions, and copy the mmc-pack.json file from that instance into the prism folder
4. Replace or remove modpack.png and update or remove the iconKey in instance.cfg accordingly
5. Replace this README.md and the LICENSE.md files as appropriate for your modpack
6. Use packwiz to add mods to your pack in the packwiz folder
7. Test modrith export: packwiz modrinth export. If it fails with notification about manual downloads, you'll need to add those mods from Modrinth instead of Curseforge. If they are not availible on Modrith, do not add the jar files to the mods folder or add them via direct download url instead, as this would violate the licence terms of those mods.
8. Commit and push to GitHub.
9. (optional) In your repo settings on GitHub, under the Pages environment, add the MODRINTH_TOKEN and MODRINTH_ID and/or CURSEFORGE_TOKEN and CURSEFORGE_ID to enable automated releases on the respective site.

Releases and release notes are automatically generated from your pack.toml and commit messages. To create a new release, simply increment the version value in pack.toml, commit, and push.
