This is Modpack Review, where we take a look at popular modpacks for the Technic Launcher.
It's been a really long time since we have reviewed Minecraft mods, so I figured we needed to start doing that again - but with a twist. The latest version of Technic Launcher, the tool used with the popular Tekkit mod, supports external mod packs. This means that people can put a few mods together in a zip file and open it in Technic, exactly like how Tekkit works. So I tried my hand in making one and put a few mods together to make ApertureCraft - a modpack made to recreate Portal in Minecraft. The modpack uses these mods:
Installing the ApertureCraft pack inside Technic Launcher is very easy. Open the lastest version of Technic Launcher, and select Vanilla from the menu on the top left. Underneath the login button click Options, and type http://poweredbyredstone.net/technic/aperturecraft.zip in the Custom ZIP box. Click the Clear Cache button, then OK, then Login. After Technic downloads minecraft.jar and all the other Minecraft files, it will download aperturecraft.zip and install it. Whenever you want to open ApertureCraft just click Vanilla!
