Packwiz Modpacks
packwiz is a CLI tool for maintaining and providing modpack definitions, with support for both CurseForge and Modrinth as sources. See the packwiz tutorial for more information.
To configure server mods using a packwiz modpack, set the PACKWIZ_URL environment variable to the location of your pack.toml modpack definition:
docker run -d --pull=always \
-v /path/on/host:/data -e TYPE=FABRIC \
-e "PACKWIZ_URL=https://example.com/modpack/pack.toml" \
itzg/minecraft-server
packwiz modpack definitions are processed before other mod definitions (MODPACK, MODS, etc.) to allow for additional processing/overrides you may want to perform (in case of mods not available via Modrinth/CurseForge, or you do not maintain the pack).
If the pack ships a .env file that you reference with LOAD_ENV_FROM_FILE, that file is re-loaded immediately after the packwiz installer runs, so the freshly downloaded values are applied to the remaining startup stages. Note that TYPE and VERSION are resolved earlier (before the deploy is dispatched), so a pack-provided .env cannot change those from within packwiz; use LOAD_ENV_FROM_GENERIC_PACK or LOAD_ENV_FROM_ARCHIVE for those.
!!! note
packwiz is pre-configured to only download server mods. If client-side mods are downloaded and cause issues, check your pack.toml configuration, and make sure any client-only mods are not set to `"both"`, but rather `"client"` for the side configuration item.
