How To Install Packs

Hello!

We hope that you're enjoying the new launcher and platform, but some users have been a bit confused about how to install packs now. There's no big "Add A Pack" button in the launcher, and that's causing some confusion. Over the next couple days, we'll be improving the way the launcher directs you to install new packs, but in the meantime, here are the three ways that you can install a modpack on the Technic Launcher.

Search For It

The search bar on the left side of the launcher can be used to find the packs your heart desires. Just put a single term and the best packs of the platform that match will be brought to your launcher. Don't see what you want? Click the "Find more" link at the bottom to see more results, and use the second installation method.

Install From the Platform

Are you already at the Platform page for the pack you want? With your launcher open, click "Install This Modpack". It will be added to your Launcher! It's magic.

Install This Modpack

Or, If All Else Fails

Just about anything can be put into the search bar, and the launcher will do its absolute best to turn that into an installed pack. Got a Platform API link? That'll work. Almost anything will work, and we hope you'll use this advice to try out lots of packs you haven't seen before. Have you seen Trending Modpacks? You can see it by selecting Browse Modpacks from the Discover menu at the top of the Platform, and it's a great way to discover cool packs you haven't heard of before. It changes all the time!

So enjoy the new Platform and give the new launcher a spin.

The search option doesn't find my results (even though I can find them on this website), and whenever I click the "Install This Modpack" button, all it does is say "Copied to Clipboard". The pack doesn't show up in my launcher.

Why isnt org.scala-lang:scala-compiler:2.11.1 loading? It just gets stuck at some number 20 or below.

If you can't search in the launcher, try relaunching the application. Try restarting the computer. Make sure your firewall isn't blocking it. Make sure you are connected to the internet. It is frustrating: sometimes mine searches, sometimes it doesn't. Restarting the application seems to work.
