Blank FTB unleashed to 1.6.2

[QuantumManiac]

So what I want to do is I want to get rid of all the mods on the ftb unleashed modpack and update it to 1.6.2 so when it is updated I can repopulate it with newer, updated mods. Is that possible? FYI I will not make a private modpack because of the permissions and stuff.

Thanks in advance.

Was there a question in there?

Sorry I just realized that my keyboard stopped typing for a bit so It didn't appear. Editing now.

So you want to make a 1.6.x pack that replicates the mods that are in Unleashed? It's doable aside from the fact that TE is yet to be updated (and is changing a lot), that IC2 has drastically changed, and TC3 is now TC4 (which is ~AWESOME~). Oh, and DartCraft has gone through a lot of rebalancing and new added features. And I'm sure I'm missing some other major changes.

Essentially, enough has changed that the current official FTB 1.5.2 packs won't be upgradable to 1.6.x. Last I heard, they're putting in one more round of mod updates to "finalize" the 1.5.2 packs, and they're working on new 1.6.x packs.

The ftb launcher does not support the MC 1.6.2 client, so if you are wanting to do it via the launcher...no, it's not possible right now.

You can use the new vanilla Minecraft launcher and Forge installer to make all the modpacks you want. It's super easy, and you can run any number of different vanilla and modded versions saved in any number of subdirectories mapped to any number of player profiles you want. I've completely stopped using third party launchers.

More information please? :3

Well, basically:

- Download the vanilla launcher (minecraft.exe) from minecraft.net
- Start it, set up your login information, you will be presented with the main screen and a big "Play" button
- On the bottom left, click "edit profile"
- In the edit dialog, find the dropdown menu for "use version" and select the vanilla version you want
- (You can also enable older alpha/beta versions or newer development snapshots here)
- After you have selected your desired Minecraft version, launch the vanilla client, then shut it down again
- Go to files.minecraftforge.net and download an "installer" for your desired Minecraft version (may not exist for 1.4.x or older)
- Run the installer and simply let it work, you don't need to do change anything
- You can install any number of forge versions in parallel without problems, just run their installers
- Open the launcher again; on the lower left you can now select a second profile named "Forge", you will be asked if you'd like to use your already setup login information
- You can also elect to make a new profile, or use your original profile simply by choosing your desired Forge version instead of vanilla in the "use version" dropdown
- Each profile gives you the option to specify its own install directory anywhere you like, this is highly recommended
- You can also specify JVM arguments if you like
- After setting things to your liking, start the game with the profile you configured; Forge/FML will do its initial setup, and if specified, the new install directory will be created. Exit the client again
- There will now be the required "mods" and "config" folders in your install directory; just drop all mods and premade configs you may have in there. Remember, 1.6+ no longer has coremods, everything goes into "mods"

And that's it. Making a new modpack is as easy as making a new profile and pasting in the mods. Switching between modpacks is as easy as switching between profiles. Upgrading Forge or trying out vanilla dev snapshots is as easy as changing the "use version" dropdown. It looks bland at first glance, but that launcher is super-powerful, easy to use and built with modding in mind.

Thanks! Time to make myself a pack with UE and without IC2.

Thanks, but is there a video tutorial for this and for making a server?

I dunno. Ask Google?

You really shouldn't need one though. The little writeup above is already as detailed as it can possibly get without explaining first how to turn on the computer and how to move the mouse. It really is easy to do, and when you have the launcher in front of you, you'll see and agree.

I know Direwolf20 made a "how to install Forge in 1.6" video, but it literally is five minutes of him talking about doubleclicking a file and pressing a single clearly labeled button. He mostly did it to raise more widespread awareness that the installation procedure changed, not because anyone actually needs that much handholding (I should hope).

Ok thanks guys for the help! I will definitely be able to start up my server now with my custom modpack.
