📂 Additional Folders

- Add extra folders for pack discovery. - Configure in `config/packed_packs.json` by adding paths under the `additionalFolders` array inside `resourcepacks` or `datapacks`. - If the array doesn’t exist, create it manually or open and close the Packed Packs screen to update the config. - Paths can be absolute or relative to the game directory. - Correctly added folders appear as a context menu option under **Open Pack Folder**. - **Requires game restart to apply.**

📂📦 Folder Packs

- Any folder in the root pack directory containing packs, without a `pack.mcmeta`, will be treated as a folder pack. - Folder packs behave like regular packs and can be moved between rows and columns to toggle multiple packs at once. - They can be opened to view and reorder their contents. The order is saved to `packed_packs.folderpack.json` in the folder root. - Add a `pack.png` at the folder root to set a custom icon.

🚀 Developer Mode

- Toggle developer mode — Ctrl + Shift + I | F12 - Additional options will appear in the context menu when in developer mode. - **Preferences**: Toggle the visibility of certain widgets. - **Lock Profiles**: Locked profiles cannot be deleted, renamed, or modified. - **Override Pack Properties**: - Overrides are configured per profile and apply only to that profile unless set as default. - Override the *required* property of packs. Also allows disabling required packs. - Override the *position* property of packs. Also allows moving fixed packs. - Hide packs. - **Default Profiles**: - Overrides from the default profile are enabled **globally** for all profiles and even without one, including the original screen. - Enabled packs under the default profile are automatically marked as compatible. - Default profiles load automatically in the following cases: - **Resource Packs**: when the `options.txt`, or in newer versions the `config/packed_packs/__version.json`, is missing. - Users that updated from before the `__version.json` file was added may only load the default profile when the `options.txt` is missing. This can be configured in the right-click context menu of the default profile. - **Data Packs**: when creating a new world. - **Pack Aliases**: Add aliases to Pack IDs - Designed to help modpack devs migrate resource/data packs when updates are needed without affecting the user's configured pack selection and order. - Only used if the pack is selected but doesn't exist. Matching starts from the top of the alias map and resolves to the first match, see the `config.meta.json` file. - Supports regex (must be prefixed with `regex:`), the text color will change in the _Edit Aliases_ dialog if done correctly. - Exact matches always take priority over regex matches, regardless of their position in the alias map (e.g., a pack ID of `file/test-v1.2` will always match `"file/test-v1.2": "file/test-v1.4"` over `"regex:file\\/test-v\\d*": "file/test-v2"`). - Aliases are never cleared automatically, even if it points to a pack that no longer exists. They are only removed manually from the in-game GUI or the config file. - It is generally not recommended to use on data packs as it could break worlds. Test thoroughly.

♨️ Java API

The Java API, designed as an optional dependency, allows mods to extend functionality or add compatibility with Packed Packs. This includes subscribing to various events and registering custom preferences to add configurable widgets at certain positions of the screen. You can find example implementations in the [**testmod**](https://github.com/fishstiz/packed_packs/tree/master/testmod/common/src/main/java/io/github/fishstiz/testmod), and in the [**compat**](https://github.com/fishstiz/packed_packs/tree/master/mod/common/src/main/java/io/github/fishstiz/packed_packs/compat) package of the **main** source set. You may also view the [**javadocs**](https://github.com/fishstiz/packed_packs/tree/mc/1.21.11/api/common/src/main/java/io/github/fishstiz/packed_packs/api) from the source code. Visit the [wiki page](https://fishstiz.github.io/packed_packs-wiki/java-api/getting-started) for more details.

🔗 Compatibility

Explicit compatibility is added for: - Resourcify - Respackopts - VTDownloader - Entity Texture Features - Polytone [Submit an issue](https://github.com/fishstiz/packed_packs/issues) if the above mods have become incompatible. Make sure to verify that the correct mod version is used for the target minecraft version, and if the issue only occurs with Packed Packs installed. Note: Compatibility for the above mods were added before the Java API was made. It would be better for other mods to make use of the Java API instead for better long term compatibility. If the above mods make enough breaking changes, it may have to be dropped.

**Known Incompatibilities** - Async Pack Scan. - Fails to open the Packed Packs screen or causes a hard crash. You do not need this mod with Packed Packs as the Packed Packs Screen are already scans packs asynchronously.
