How to Create a Custom Profile in the CurseForge Launcher

    The 'Create Custom Profile' button
  4. Choose a name for your Profile (This can be changed later on).

  6. Select the Files and Folders that are needed. (by default they are already selected but config and mods are the required folders).
    Twitch Package Exporting

What Happens When We Have Your Modpack Files

Once the custom modpack has been received by StickyPiston we will:

  3. Test that the server starts correctly and all the mods are loaded.
