How to Create a Custom Modpack in the CurseForge App

Create the profile

1. Open the CurseForge app and choose Minecraft.
2. Click Create Custom Profile (at the top of My Modpacks).
3. Give it a name, and pick the Minecraft version and the mod loader (Forge, NeoForge, Fabric or Quilt).
4. Click Create.

Add mods

1. Open the new profile and click Add More Content.
2. Search for each mod and click Install. The app only shows mods for your loader and version, and installs required mods for you.

Launch it once to check everything loads before you share it.

Share it

Click the ⋮ next to Play and choose Export Profile. Send the .zip to friends; they import it from Create Custom Profile → Import.

Run it on your Beacon server

Package Manager installs modpacks published on CurseForge or Modrinth. A custom profile isn't published, so set the server up by hand:

1. In Package Manager, install the same loader at the same version as your profile (for example Fabric for 1.21.1).
2. Install each server-side mod from Package Manager (Browse packages, search, Install). Skip client-only mods such as minimaps and shaders.
3. Restart the server from Console.

For a mod that isn't listed, see How to Add Custom Mods.
