'<p>After over a year of development, Modrinth is happy to announce that modpack support is now in alpha testing!</p><p>What does alpha mean, exactly? Principally, it means that <strong>modpack support is still unstable</strong> and that not everything is perfect yet. However, we believe it to be complete enough that it can be released for general use and testing.</p><p>From this point forward, Modrinth has shifted development effort from modpacks to creator payouts. This long-anticipated feature means that mod developers, modpack creators, and anyone else who uploads content to Modrinth will be eligible to get the ad revenue generated from their project pages.</p><h2>Where can I find them?</h2><p>Right next to mods on the site! URLs to modpacks are the same as mods, just with <code>mod</code> replaced with <code>modpacks</code>, so you can find the search at <a href="https://modrinth.com/modpacks">https://modrinth.com/modpacks</a>.</p><p>Over a dozen modpacks have already been created by our early pack adopters, and those are available for download right now!</p><h2>Wait, so how do I download them?</h2><p>At this point in time, the only stable way to download modpacks and use them is through <a href="https://atlauncher.com" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">ATLauncher</a>. You can also install Modrinth packs if you switch to the development branch of <a href="https://multimc.org" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">MultiMC</a>. We\'re hoping to be supported by more launchers in the future, including our own launcher, which is still in development. Our <a href="https://docs.modrinth.com/docs/modpacks/playing_modpacks/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">documentation for playing modpacks</a> will always have an up-to-date listing of the most popular ways to play packs.</p><h2>How do I create packs?</h2><p>You can either use <a href="https://atlauncher.com" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">ATLauncher</a> or <a href="https://github.com/packwiz/packwiz" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">packwiz</a> to create modpacks. The <a href="https://docs.modrinth.com/docs/modpacks/format_definition/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Modrinth format</a> is unique for our purposes, which is specifically in order to allow mods from multiple platforms to be in a pack. Our <a href="https://docs.modrinth.com/docs/modpacks/creating_modpacks/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">documentation for creating modpacks</a> will always have an up-to-date listing of the most popular ways to create packs.</p><h2>Can I use CurseForge mods in my modpack?</h2><p>Yes! The <a href="https://docs.modrinth.com/docs/modpacks/format_definition/" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Modrinth format</a> uses a link-based approach, meaning that theoretically, mods from any platform are usable. In practice, we are only allowing links from <strong>Modrinth</strong>, <strong>CurseForge</strong>, and <strong>GitHub</strong>. In the future, we may allow other sites.</p><h2>What happened to Theseus?</h2><p>For a while, we\'ve been teasing Theseus, our own launcher. While lots of progress has been made on it, we haven\'t yet gotten it to a usable state even for alpha testing. Once we think it\'s usable, we will provide alpha builds -- however, for now, our main focus will be shifting to payouts, with Theseus development ramping up once that is out.</p><p>Remember: Modrinth only has a small team, and we have a lot of real-life responsibilities too. If you have experience in Rust or Svelte and would like to help out in developing it, please feel free to shoot a message in the <code>#launcher</code> channel in our <a href="https://discord.gg/EUHuJHt" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">Discord</a>.</p><h2>Conclusion</h2><p>All in all, this update is quite exciting for everyone involved. Just like with <a href="/packages/blog/articles/redesign.md" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">the redesign</a>, this is the culmination of months upon months of work, and modpack support is really a big stepping stone for what\'s still yet to come.</p><p>Remember: alpha means that it\'s still unstable! We are not expecting this release to go perfectly s
