Requirements

• This template was written with Prism Launcher in mind. Those using other launchers will need to adjust setup instructions as needed to allow their launcher to recognize the template as an instance. Launchers without the ability to set pre-launch commands will need to fetch mods manually (see below).

Setup

As a standalone template

1. Clone the repository
2. Change MC and loader version with java -jar pakku.jar set -v <mc_version> -l <loader>=<loader_version> command or import an existing modpack

As a template for a new project

1. Clone your copy of this template into an empty (instancename)\minecraft folder
2. Copy the contents of (instancename)\minecraft\.pakku\prism-overrides[^2] into your (instancename) folder to have a working Prism Instance.[^3]

By default, the pack comes with a set of mods most packdevs find useful (optimization mods, KubeJS, Jade, etc); To add your mods and resourcepacks, open the project's /minecraft/ folder in a terminal (using a code editor such as VSC is recommended), and run java -jar pakku.jar add [<options>] [<projects>]. Pakku will handle dependencies for you.

Importing into an existing repository

1. In your existing Minecraft instance's /minecraft/ folder, ensure that you have one of the following available: manifest.json modrinth.index.json .mrpack, or a CurseForge .zip file. (You can generate one with Prism)
2. Clone the june2026 template somewhere, copy over everything but pakku-lock.json (and .gitattributes and .git folder, of course) to your project root.
3. Open up your terminal, change directory to your instance's /minecraft/ folder, and run java -jar pakku.jar import <file from step 1>
4. Edit minecraft/pakku.json, and minecraft/.pakku/prism-overrides/ as applicable, and add java -jar pakku.jar fetch to your instance's pre-launch commands

Don't forget to link to this page in your README so contributors will know how to set up their own instance!

Contributing to an existing repository that uses this template

1. Clone your fork of the repository into an empty (instancename)\minecraft folder, and copy the contents of (instancename)\minecraft\.pakku\prism-overrides into your (instancename) folder to have a working Prism Instance. From there, you can start your newly created instances and the mods will be downloaded for you.[^3]
