Third Party Pack System Closed

[Watchful11]

It is with great regret that I am announcing that the third party modpack system is closing.

I started it over five years ago as a way for independent pack creators to host their packs on a system that made it easy for players to install, update and play them, all in a way that respected the mod authors. Since then there have been a lot changes in the modded minecraft ecosystem. Most notably, curseforge and the twitch app serve as an extremely robust hosting and distribution platform that has, for the most part, rendered our third party system obsolete.

Starting as of the posting of this thread, we won't be accepting any new packs, and will only upload updates in special circumstances. All existing packs will remain on the launcher until further notice. We are happy to help you move your existing packs over to curseforge.

Feel free to message me directly, either here on the forum or through our discord server if you need to upload one last update, or if you need help moving your pack.

Very sad news. But I understand pretty well the system changed.
We still love fdb

Thanks for all the good work done!

Thank you so much for all your hard work! I've had a great experience with a number of wonderful packs that have been on the third party area, I can honestly say my love of modded Minecraft wouldn't have been the same without it.

Exactly my experience. I'd almost given up on vanilla but started JadedCat's Agrarian Skies on FTB and hey, still playing years later!

Same! Playing Agrarian Skies was what really got me into it, and likewise I'm still here!

Man, death of an age Inevitable but sad anyway.

This feels like the end of an era.

Thank you for all the effort yourself and the FTB team put in over the years.
You've made a solid footprint in the game for a lot of players and really brought a shine to playing modpacks.
Cheers guys!

Hello all... know 2 years later as I did loose real access to a pc years ago and well... recently gone it back... is it possible to get a Copy of the Modpack I made?
I really would like to continue my endeavors now that I can... Can I hope the packs weren't just fully deleted? A little worried about the answer but yeah... figure I would ask..
