Summary
Minecraft modpacks are mod collections that add to the base game to alter its gameplay, graphics, and other features. Modpacks bundle multiple mods together to create a more comprehensive and cohesive player experience. Budget server owners can access updating modpacks automatically via the JAR Menu or BisectHosting support staff by purchasing the Advanced Support addon.
