– Toggle developer mode \u2014 Ctrl<\/kbd> + Shift<\/kbd> + I<\/kbd> | F12<\/kbd>
\n– Additional options will appear in the context menu when in developer mode.
\n– **Preferences**: Toggle the visibility of certain widgets.
\n– **Lock Profiles**: Locked profiles cannot be deleted, renamed, or modified.
\n– **Override Pack Properties**:
\n – Overrides are configured per profile and apply only to that profile unless set as default.
\n – Override the *required* property of packs. Also allows disabling required packs.
\n – Override the *position* property of packs. Also allows moving fixed packs.
\n – Hide packs.
\n– **Default Profiles**:
\n – Overrides from the default profile are enabled **globally** for all profiles and even without one, including the
\n original screen.
\n – Enabled packs under the default profile are automatically marked as compatible.
\n – Default profiles load automatically in the following cases:
\n – **Resource Packs**: when the `options.txt` file is missing.
\n – **Data Packs**: when creating a new world.
\n– **Pack Aliases**: Add aliases to Pack IDs
\n – Designed to help modpack devs migrate resource\/data packs when updates are needed without affecting the user’s
\n configured pack selection and order.
\n – Only used if the pack is selected but doesn’t exist. Matching starts from the top of the alias map
\n and resolves to the first match, see the `config.meta.json` file.
\n – Supports regex (must be prefixed with `regex:`), the text color will change in the _Edit Aliases_ dialog if done
\n correctly.
\n – Exact matches always take priority over regex matches, regardless of their position in the alias map (e.g., a pack
\n ID of `file\/test-v1.2` will always match `”file\/test-v1.2″: “file\/test-v1.4″` over
\n `”regex:file\\\/test-v\\d*”: “file\/test-v2″`).
\n – Aliases are never cleared automatically, even if it points to a pack that no longer exists. They are only removed
\n manually from the in-game GUI or the config file.
\n – It is generally not recommended to use on data packs as it could break worlds. Test thoroughly.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

\n\u2668\ufe0f Java API<\/b><\/summary>\n

The Java API, designed as an optional dependency, allows mods to extend functionality or add compatibility with
\nPacked Packs. This includes subscribing to various events and registering custom preferences
\nto add configurable widgets at certain positions of the screen.<\/p>\n

You can find example implementations in the **testmod**,
\nand in the **compat**
\npackage of the **main** source set. <\/p>\n

You may also view the **javadocs** from the source code.<\/p>\n

Visit the wiki page for more details.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\n\ud83d\udd17 Compatibility<\/b><\/summary>\n

Explicit compatibility is added for:<\/p>\n

– Resourcify
\n– Respackopts
\n– VTDownloader
\n– Entity Texture Features
\n– Polytone<\/p>\n

Submit an issue if the above mods have become incompatible. Make sure
\nto verify that the correct mod version is used for the target minecraft version, and if the issue only occurs with
\nPacked Packs installed.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/b> Compatibility for the above mods were added before the Java API was made.
\nIt would be better for other mods to make use of the Java API instead for better long
\nterm compatibility. If the above mods make enough breaking changes, it may have to be dropped.
\n<\/details>\n

**Known Incompatibilities**<\/p>\n

– Async Pack Scan.
\n – Fails to open the Packed Packs screen or causes a hard crash. You do not need this mod with Packed Packs as the Packed Packs Screen are already scans packs asynchronously.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
