A friend wanted to play a mod pack with me, specifically SkyFactory3.0.13 and no matter where I look, I don't seem to be getting a proper file for the pack.
All the files I find have only three mods in them and don't function as a pack and are apparently suppose dto be used from some Twitch app.
No, I absolutely have no desire or intention to install random stupid third-party software on my computer every time I want to play a mod pack, which is nothing but a bunch of mods and configs and, rarely, maps.
There is NO REASON to not simply put up a complete pack file somewhere, I could use it, I could install the proper Minecrfat version, install Forge and the pack. I am not stupid.
So are they really going to force me to install this rubbish just to be able to play a game that does not require that program in any way to function whatsoever?
I must say I am gonna make an exception for the Twitch client here now.
Sure it is annoying that I need it and I don't see why the people with the rights to distribute the modpacks don't simply do that directly.
With all the random launchers you COULD install the modpacks directly and I would honestly encourage people to do so, because third-party launchers are a huge security risks and so i thought was Twitch.
But the exception with Twitch is
1. I already have an account there automatically by cretaing an account here, so less of a hassle.
2. The Twitch client Launches the regular Minecraft Launcher in a special configuration, Twitch doesn't try to make me send important data through their services, which was a really scummy thing to do and every single Launcher did it, so I assumed Twitch would do that too.
I had a bad day and I was really tired of all the Launchers and their practises.
Note I didn't mean to call Twitch itself rubbish, merely the general practise of all Launchers now excluding Twitch.
And all my frustration with the necessity of an additional program was after hours of walking someone through the process of hosting a singleplayer world on a server.

I made a D flip-flop!
