modpacks
Curated addon collections
A modpack is a curated collection of modifications (mods) bundled together for a video game, typically Minecraft.
Rather than installing dozens of mods individually, players download a single modpack that combines compatible mods around a theme—technology, magic, survival challenges: I've been playing the SkyFactory modpack.
Modpacks often include configuration files that balance the mods to work together.
