FTB modpacks are now distributed through their own API. This egg was developed for support for modpacks that are distributed through this.
A generic service to pull FTB modpacks from api.feed-the-beast.com. There are 2 ways to install a server through this service. The first method only requires you to know the modpacks name and (optionally) version. The second method requires you to know the id for the modpack and (optionally) version in the api.
https://api.feed-the-beast.com/v1/modpacks/public/modpack/5
https://api.feed-the-beast.com/v1/modpacks/public/modpack/5/86
NOTE Not all FTB packs come with a server.properties file, due to this the server.properties file may not get updated with the correct ip address and port at first launch. Please restart the server after first launch to fix this.
If you have trouble using an neoforge pack, make sure to select the latest java.
The minecraft server requires a single port for access (default 25565) but plugins may require extra ports to enabled for the server.

FTB Pack search term | the search term for finding the modpack. needs to be at least 4 characters long. Find out what term is needed by using the ftb app and searching with the term. make sure it only returns 1 result. can also be searched for via: https://api.feed-the-beast.com/v1/modpacks/public/modpack/search/8?term={SEARCHTERM} only needed if the modpack id and modpack version id is unknown. | FTB_SEARCH_TERM | Yes | Yes | |
FTB modpack ID | The FTB Api modpack ID. Needed if not using the search variable Example: FTB Interactions ID is 5. https://api.feed-the-beast.com/v1/modpacks/public/modpack/5 | FTB_MODPACK_ID | Yes | Yes | |
FTB Pack Version | what version of the modpack to install. leave empty if using the modpack version id variable. | FTB_VERSION_STRING | Yes | Yes | |
FTB Pack Version ID | The modpack api version ID. Leave this and FTB Pack Version empty to install latest. Example FTB Revelations version id for version "2.0.2" is 86. which would come out as: https://api.feed-the-beast.com/v1/modpacks/public/modpack/5/86 | FTB_MODPACK_VERSION_ID | Yes | Yes |
