Update via URL

[DasCanard]

Hi, I love the functionality to import Modpacks via .mrpack format.

But another thing that would be awesome is that if you could update your modrinth modpacks via URL.

I would like to second this. I honestly don't really care what the format is, I just want to give my friends a URL (that I can choose where it is hosted) to play custom modpacks together while allowing them easy updates

@brakenium sorry for the ping - did you ever figure this out?

[brakenium]

@vanessa I am using packwiz to manage the modpack and then their bootstrap jar to get the latest version. Can be any webserver, but I just use GitHub pages.

Example custom command: "$INST_JAVA" -jar packwiz-installer-bootstrap.jar https://<username>.github.io/<repo>/pack.toml. Documentation can be found here: https://packwiz.infra.link/tutorials/installing/packwiz-installer/.
