Summary
Modpacks consist of multiple mods that add new features, mechanics, or content to the game. By installing a custom modpack, players can enjoy a unique and tailored Minecraft experience on the server. Creating a new world is recommended to avoid any issues that may arise. The modpack must be compatible with the server's version.
