Modpack merging (multiple pack URLs)

[ghost]

Note

Sorry if this is already implemented or has been asked before, I have tried to search for it and didn't find anything.

Why?

I'm making a modpack and I want to merge Fabulously Optimized into it, I would add all of the mods that FO has, but then they wouldn't update with FO.

How

So instead, I would like to have a command like packwiz packwiz install https://[some-server]/pack.toml which would add the modpack.

The modpacks would act as normal mods but when installing (using packwiz-installer) the modpack it would expand into many other mods.

Note 2

Sorry if this makes no sense, I can explain more in the replies.

I guess this would allow packs to "inherit" others? It would add a fair amount of complexity, but this is definitely a use case that others have mentioned before - I'd like to support it. Instead of adding this as part of the pack format, do you think it would be sufficient to implement this as a list of pack.toml links you supply to packwiz-installer instead? That would also mean users can use the same "overlay" pack with any other "base".

Yeah, that would work!

Any update on this? I'd love to have my pre-launch command download both additive and a servers custom pack. Even just an option to not delete existing mods would be fine, then I could just run the command twice with different urls
