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.

I have to be missing something i can't install anything with this new launcher.. you guys say its easy i call bull.. i clicked add modpack it copies the url to my clipboard doesn't install.. i try to go through this API crud and it keeps telling me to add api/ at the end with no details or specifics. Your new launcher is way more difficult then it needs to be.

Really like the new interface. Looks very sleak. However, I'm very disappointed with the download speed. Also wanted to mention that hack/mine and bigdig weren't included in the official mod pack list on startup. It was easy to add them but impossible to play. My problem is that when a pack comes to the "installing assets" it stops there. Hope to see some development on the bugs but I'll head back to FTB in the meantime

Gee, nevermind. I didn't read all of the ways to do it, I typed the name of the modpack in the search bar, and it worked.

Clicking the 'INSTALL THIS MODPACK' does nothing anymore, and typing in the api link also doesn't do anything for me now.

I made my own private (hidden) modpack, and I'm trying to use the Technic Launcher to open it. I've done the whole process of using copy.com, and creating the modpack on this site. That's not the problem. The problem is that, because it's a private modpack, it doesn't show up in the search bar. It also says, "Broken API Link." What do I do?
