Why This Tool Exists

CurseForge modpacks often limit sharing modified files to respect the licenses of mod creators. This tool helps you:

• Download mods directly from their original sources, ensuring compliance with licensing.
• Apply your own modifications locally without redistributing altered files.

This ensures a respectful and legal way to customize modpacks.

Planned Features

• Support for additional modding platforms (e.g., direct CurseForge API integration).
• Further automation of modpack deployment.
