Add a way to share mods/ressources pack/shader list from a configuration

[Xav]

Role

I play modded Minecraft with friends

Suggestion

I want to easily share a mods list with them

Benefit

No version mismatch, fast way to share a list of mods, more custom modpack

This suggestion is unique

• I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my suggestion, especially not one that has been rejected.

You may use the editor below to elaborate further.

This idea is from the Thunderstore Manager. When you play a game, you can share a modlist from a code or a file then the loader download them for you. For your friends, its easy to import your modlist without the pain to create a modpack and share it. Also, it avoid sharing a full folder that can be upto +500Mo.

In the Thunderstore Manager its like this:

You can import a new profile/update a current profile from a code or a file like this

Same for sharing your profile configuration, just click the share button then it gives you a code to share with your friends

or go to settings to have a way to export as a file

The file is in a custom format but I imagine that it contain the mod list and all others related info.

I think it can be resolved by adding "export to mrpack" (as most appropriate format) feature

We can just as easily implement a global folder within the PolyMC config directory that carries all mods, shaders, etc. used and allow users to select them from instance pages.

Impressive, very sneed.

@binex-dsk I don't think so: mods, resourcepacks and shaderpacks tend to be updated, and this folder would be a waste of disk space, as it would mostly contain out-of-date data.

Hello, any update ?

Hello, any update ?

Most of us don't have oodles of time to do this stuff, as we have education, jobs, graduation, holidays, etc. (unlike the Prism developers evidently).

I may stab at this soon.
