Setting Up a Modpack with AlfinoLib Mods

Preparing Your Modpack

When building a modpack that includes mods dependent on AlfinoLib, proper setup ensures all mods communicate correctly.

Installation Order

1. Install AlfinoLib first into your mods folder before adding any dependent mods

2. Add dependent mods one at a time, launching the game after each addition to verify compatibility

3. Verify load order: AlfinoLib should load before mods that depend on it (most mod loaders handle this automatically)

Testing Your Setup

• Launch the game and watch the loading screen for errors
• Check that all mods appear in your mod list with correct versions
• Test dependent mods' features in-game to confirm networking and data pack systems work
• Monitor your debug log for warnings related to stream codecs or packet handling

Cross-Loader Considerations

If your modpack spans multiple loaders (Forge and NeoForge versions), maintain separate AlfinoLib installations for each. Don't mix loader versions—this causes crashes and incompatibilities.
