[feat] create modpack from modded version profile (vanilla launcher, curseforge, etc)

[maxomatic458]

you could use the path to an existing modded profile, to create a server from it
mcman would detect the modloader and mc version and copy all the non client-side mods over.

this is a somewhat nice idea but there are a few problems for it

the mod jar files need to be reversed into a Downloadable type somehow

if the mod was downloaded from Modrinth it's just a simple API request to find out. otherwise we cant really know where the mod comes from...

we can just copy over the mod jar files to config/mods but i feel like thats just a band-aid solution

[maxomatic458]

the same should be doable for curseforge
the curseforge launcher is able to get a mods curseforge mod-id from the file (even if downloaded from another source)

not sure if there is a public api endpoint that you can use
but modrinth & curseforge would cover most of the mods

[maxomatic458]

it should be doable via their api: https://docs.curseforge.com/?python#get-fingerprints-matches

we dont have an api key for curseforge lmao, we're using CurseRinth's API for it

im gonna ask kuylar about it, worst case scenario i have to ask for an api key 😔

[maxomatic458]

there is also https://curse.tools/, which doesnt require a key

[TheAlan404]

oh hey thanks for letting me know that exists, will probably scrap curserinth api for curse.tools
