Core Features
Modpacks & Loaders
Supported mod loaders, Modrinth and CurseForge archive imports, and missing-file completion.
mcl separates ordinary instance loader selection from modpack-pinned environments while sharing the same underlying installation and verification pipeline.
Supported loaders
- Vanilla
- Fabric
- Quilt
- Forge (legacy
1.7.10/1.12.2and modern client processors) - NeoForge
For verified Windows version coverage and known network boundaries, see Windows Compatibility.
Importing modpacks
You can import .mrpack (Modrinth) and .zip (CurseForge manifest) archives either from the Market or from a local file on disk:
mclinspects the archive, verifies hashes/boundaries, and shows optional files for selection.- Files are downloaded or matched into the digest cache before client overrides are applied.
- If a CurseForge mod restricts third-party distribution,
mcllets you select the manually downloaded archive from your computer, verifies its exact size and hash, and resumes the same staging pipeline. - Imported modpacks also expose an instance-level Repair / Missing Files flow to restore missing pinned files or client overrides.
