For those of you entering JamPacked we now have details on how you need to enter your modpacks and maps. This post should contain all the details you need to complete your entry.
First you will need to download the example modpack that can be found as an attachment to this post. The two images included in the root of the zip are displayed when the pack is loaded into the FTB Launcher.
The info.txt file should also be completed before submitting your modpack, this mostly contains details for how the modpack should be displayed on the launcher but also the permissions for the modpack. This spreadsheet can be used to help you with permissions however you should have already contacted mod authors for mods that require you to contact the mod author to use the mod in a modpack.
Finally you will need to include your modpack and map inside the minecraft directory, set it up just as you would a standard minecraft install or multimc instance, more details on how this should be setup can be found here
If your modpack can’t be launched like a conventional modpack (for example it requires a server) then just include all the required files in the zip as you would with a standard third party pack along with instructions on how they should be used. If we have any issues with your submission we will contact you via a private message on the forums.
Once you have completed the zip setup you will need to submit your entry to the competition, for this you will need a forum account so sign up now if you don’t have one already. You can then follow one of the links below to submit your entry:

The deadline for entries has also been extended due to the delay in opening the contest, the deadline is now the 10th August 2014, it will not be possible to submit packs after this date.

Terms and conditions of the contest can be found here
