How to Locate and Zip Your Mods Folder for a Custom Modpack on CurseForge

Step 1: Locate Your Mods Folder

  1. Open Your Minecraft Launcher

    • Open the Minecraft launcher you use to play modded Minecraft (e.g., CurseForge).

  2. Access Your Installed Modpack

    • Navigate to the modpack you want to upload.

    • Click on the three dots or gear icon (options menu) next to the modpack.

    • Select "Open Folder" or "Open File Location" to access the modpack files.

  3. Find the Mods Folder

    • Inside the opened folder, locate the mods folder. This folder contains all the mods used in your modpack.


Step 2: Zip Your Mods Folder

  1. Prepare Your Mods Folder

    • Ensure that the mods folder only contains the mods you intend to use. Remove any unnecessary or incompatible files.

  2. Compress the Folder

    • Right-click on the mods folder.

    • Select "Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder" on Windows or "Compress" on macOS.

    • A new file named mods.zip (or similar) will be created in the same directory as the mods folder.


Step 3: Upload the Zip File to Peel Panel

  1. Log In to Peel Panel

    • Navigate to your Peel Panel login page.

    • Enter your credentials and log in to your account.

  2. Select Your Server

    • In the dashboard, click on the server you want to upload your modpack to.

  3. Open the File Manager

    • In the server panel, select the "File Manager" option.

  4. Navigate to the Mods Directory

    • In the file manager, locate the mods directory of your server. If the directory does not exist, you may create it by clicking the "New Folder" button and naming it mods.

  5. Upload Your Zipped Mods Folder

    • Click the "Upload" button in the file manager.

    • Select your zipped mods file (mods.zip) from your computer and upload it.

  6. Unzip the Folder

    • Once uploaded, locate the mods.zip file in the file manager.

    • Click the 3 dots to the right of the zip file and select "Unarchive" to unzip its contents into the mods directory.


Step 4: Restart Your Server

  1. Check Your Mods Folder

    • Ensure all your mods are now unzipped and visible in the mods directory.

  2. Start the Server

    • Navigate back to the "Console" or "Overview" page in Peel Panel.

    • Click "Start" to launch your server.

  3. Verify the Installation

    • Once the server starts, join it using your modpack to ensure everything is functioning correctly.


Troubleshooting Tips

  • Missing Mods Folder: Double-check your modpack installation if you cannot find the mods folder. Ensure the modpack has been launched at least once to generate the folder.

  • Upload Errors: Ensure your zip file is not too large. If it exceeds the file size limit, try splitting it into smaller archives.

  • Mod Compatibility Issues: Check for mod version mismatches or dependency errors in your server console logs.
