Minecraft Java
The Modpacks tab in your MintServers panel lets you install a modpack with a single click, but the search only pulls results from one provider at a time. If a modpack you're looking for doesn't show up, it's often not missing, it's just listed under a different provider.
Why Provider Matters
Popular modpack platforms like CurseForge, Technic, ATLauncher, Feed The Beast, Modrinth, and Voids Wrath each host their own libraries. A modpack published exclusively on one platform will not appear in a search on another, even if the name is an exact match. This is a common source of confusion when a customer expects to find a modpack under the default provider and can't locate it.
How to Change the Provider
- Log into your MintServers panel and stop your server.
- Click on the
Modpackstab in the left-hand sidebar. - Click the
Providerdropdown near the top of the page. It will typically be set to CurseForge by default. - Select the platform that hosts the modpack you're looking for from the list:
ATLauncher,CurseForge,Feed The Beast,Modrinth,Technic, orVoids Wrath. - Type the modpack name into the
Search Querybox. - Click the download icon next to the correct result to install it.
Example: Installing Tekkit 2
Tekkit 2 is a good example of this issue in practice. It is not hosted on CurseForge, so searching for it under the default provider will return no results. Instead:
- Open the
Modpackstab and click theProviderdropdown. - Select
Technicfrom the list. - Search for
Tekkit 2and click the download icon to install it.
🛠️ Troubleshooting
Modpack still not showing up:Double-check the spelling of the modpack name, and try each provider one at a time if you're unsure which platform hosts it.Installed the wrong version:Some modpacks have similarly named entries across providers. Compare the version number and last-updated date shown in the search results before installing.Server won't start after installing:Give the installer a few minutes to finish downloading all mod files, especially for larger packs, before starting your server.
Switching providers takes just a couple of clicks and can save a lot of time hunting for a modpack that was there all along, just under a different platform.
