 ## Manual Downloads
 
 For mod, modpacks, and world files that are not allowed for automated download, the container path `/downloads` can be attached and matching files will be retrieved from there. The subdirectories `mods`, `modpacks`, and `worlds` will also be checked accordingly. To change the source location of downloaded files, set `CF_DOWNLOADS_REPO` to an existing container path. To disable this feature, set `CF_DOWNLOADS_REPO` to an empty string.
