Should be in the next launcher version which is currently in closed beta.

You will also need permission for all the mods in the pack.

I thought you didn't if it was a private pack? I thought that was the whole point of the privateness of it, that you're just sharing it not distributing it?

The advantage of them being private packs is that it's usually easier to get permission for it. For example, Eloraam has a provision for private packs containing Redpower 2. For another example, Azanor has only given two packs permission for Thaumcraft 3 at all, last I checked anyways.

Nope, you still need permission. But most of the major mods that don't give out permission do give it out for private packs.

I think it's quite useless to implement such a feature if you can only get it asking 20 mod developers for permission. We're not taking the mods to some weird place, we're still playing Feed the Beast because we launch the mods from within the launcher. I don't even want to add any other mods than those already in the ultimate pack, but I want to have the option to disable a few mods by default, and instead of telling everyone what they need to activate/deavtivate have the launcher do it for me. I understand the developers right to keep their property safe, I'm a developer myself, but if everything stays within the launcher, I don't see the problem.
Minecraft was made big by being so community friendly, open and moddable, so please don't bureaucratize things too much just because the evil T pack did things wrong.

PS: Sorry for picking up on an old thread, I needed to get this off my chest

I would refrain on saying that you need permissions, because it depends on how they do it.

They might just give you access to the mods that they have permissions for, and let you choose which one you want in your private pack. I said "might", as I don't know, but it is definitely possible.
