Modpack authors carefully curate mods, worlds, resource packs and other mod elements to create a single unique experience for you to play and enjoy. In many cases modpack authors carry on and maintain their creation to tweak it, submitting new files and updates to their project which users can easily update using the CurseForge App.
Please note that this option is available only if the author uploaded a file for the modpack on a different version, it doesn't do it automatically without a file available
This guide was created and kindly provided by popular modpack creator Kehaan.
