-===== Creating a Modpack =====+===== Creating a Modpack (The Easy Way) ===== 
 + 
 +==== Prerequisities ==== 
 + 
 +  * Publicly accessible HTTP web server, 
 +  * Familiarity with the terminal or command line, mostly! No GUIs here, sorry. 
 + 
 +==== Steps ==== 
 + 
 +  - Prepare your modpack directory (config/, mods/, ...) 
 +  - Download [[http://files.mcupdater.com/MCU-FastPack-latest.jar|MCU-FastPack-latest.jar]] 
 +  - Run the following command: <code>java -jar MCU-FastPack-latest.jar --path MODPACK_PATH --baseURL HTTP_WEB_SERVER_URL --mc MC_VERSION --fabric //FABRIC_VERSION// --out XML_FILE</code>, where: 
 +    * //MODPACK_PATH// is the location of the modpack files created in the first step, 
 +    * //HTTP_WEB_SERVER_URL// is the upload location URL (for instance, http://example.com/modpack/), 
 +    * //MC_VERSION// is the Minecraft version (for instance, 18w50a), 
 +    * //FABRIC_VERSION// is the Fabric Loader version (for instance, 0.3.6.107 - check with the site to find the latest!), 
 +    * //XML_FILE// is the output XML filename. 
 +  - Upload the modpack files created in the first step as to make them visible beneath //HTTP_WEB_SERVER_URL//, 
 +  - Upload the XML file to your HTTP web server URL - the location and filename does not matter other than for linking users. If you want to update the modpack later, just replace that XML file in the same location! 
 + 
 +You're done! You now have an MCUpdater Fabric modpack.
