Hi there I was wondering if any buddy could explain to me what feed the beast is and how to create a custom FTB public/private modpack BTW I am making this modpack for my 1.7.10 forge server any help is greatly appreciated thx - djcjf
Good Question.. I've always seen 'FTB' mentioned but never really knew what it was about....
... Anyway a quick google came up with this definition from the Unofficial FeedTheBeast Wiki Page
Feed the Beast is a collection of modpacks for the popular sandbox-game Minecraft.
Designed to enhance the game, Feed The Beast provides an easy way to play modded Minecraft without having to go through the hassle of installing each mod manually.
All mods have been optimized and made compatible with each other in order to create a smooth and enjoyable gameplay experience.
Feed The Beast adds another layer of complexity to Minecraft, introducing a huge number of new items, complex game mechanics, scenic world-generation, and much, much more to the regular game.
All mods in Feed The Beast have been added with permission of the authors. The Feed The Beast Launcher was first released on Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012, with a live-stream broadcast on the Feed The Beast website.
You can also read the official 'ABOUT FTB' on the official website [http://www.feed-the-beast.com/]
Based on this it seems that people make Modpacks & submit them to FTB to allow them to be downloaded via the FTB launcher, making it easier for normal players to install & play maps with Mods without having to go through all the hassle of installing forge & each Mod individually, plus since all mods listed have been tested to work with one another there's no conflicts to worry about
(I'm sure that if I misunderstood FTB - someone with a better understanding will correct me)
As for your second question about making one. I guess you just gather together a selection of MODS from the approved selection, submit it to FTB & they will then look at it & consider it to be distributed through their launcher
I found this post on their forums about 3rd party FTB modpacks that may help

Thank you this helps allot CannonFoddr now I understand what FTB is But still how do I create my own custom FTB public/private modpack? I was also wondering how to create my own FTB server for my modpack thx - djcjf
Well I can only suggest searching their forums to see if there's any info there on actual making modpacks (there's a section about 'pack creation' - not looked at it though) otherwise you could try their IRC 'chat' channel & see if anyone there can explain it to you
