Connecting to modded servers, especially those with private modpacks, is a hassle. Getting all the right mods, making sure the configuration files are all good, and various other little things make it a pain for players to play on modded servers. It's also hard for those server owners, because they can't add much content before client-side updating becomes a problem. This often means that modpack updates often end up being far and few.
I wrote (rather, am writing) a mod to fix that. Introducing Coherence - a client/server mod synchronizer. If it is both on the client and on the server, it will automatically synchronize the mods with the server and download the configuration files before connecting to the server. With this mod, players no longer have to manually update the mods (and the configs) by themselves. This requires port 25566 to be open on the server.
Demo Videos:
While this mod can make it easier to connect to perpetually changing modpack servers, it can also be used to do great harm to your computer by the server owners. With that being said, ONLY USE THIS TOOL TO CONNECT TO MODDED SERVERS YOU TRUST.
