Modpack Configuration Checker
Modpack Configuration Checker is a highly configurable mod that allows modpack creators to customise Minecraft to better support modpacks. It allows features such as displaying webpages on launch to features such as checking the modpack user has assigned enough RAM to the modpack. This mod significantly expands amount of options a modpack author has.
The mod can easily be configured from in game (instructions below). However without configuration Modpack Configuration Checker verifies that at least 2gb of RAM has been assigned to a modpack, greatly increasing performance and minimising crashes.
Some of the features the mod offers:
- Setting a required amount of RAM that is needed for the modpack to run. If this requirement is not met it alerts the user and closes the game.
- Setting a recommended amount of RAM that is recommended for the modpack to run. If this requirement is not met then the user is alerted.
- Setting a website to open as the game launches. Useful for opening modpack website or support pages.
- Setting a custom message to be displayed as the game loads for example to display credits.
- Setting custom messages to be displayed when RAM requirements not met. Useful for making the mod fit in with the feel of your pack.
- Ability to change if message boxes appear on top of other windows.
- Set custom greeting messages that appear in chat when a game is loaded.

How to Configure (Minecraft Version 1.11.x and 1.12.x)
As of version 1.6 the mod can now be completely configured from in game. This means that is it no longer necessary to edit any of the config files manually making the mod MUCH easier to use. The configuration screen can be accessed by following these steps:
Step 1) Click on the 'Mods' button on the main menu screen.
Step 2) Select 'Modpack Config Checker from the list of mods the left.
Step 3) Click on the 'Config' button in the bottom left.
Notes
- If you are unsure of what a setting does, hovering over it will display a small description which should make things clearer. However if you are still unsure, experiment!! Or if you prefer, either send me a PM or leave a comment on this thread. I will be happy to explain any of the mods mechanics to you.
- I have created a migration tool which means that all of your settings will transfer to updated versions of the mod. This ensures a seamless transfer, so that there will be no impact on the average user. If an old Config file is detected then the game will automatically give you the option to import your old settings. I have spent a lot of time of this feature, meaning it has a very very high success rate.
- The in game config is only available on 1.11.2 and over (For now). This is due to the greater complexity of this setup on older versions of forge. If you are on a lower Minecraft version you will have to use the legacy config, which is explained below. If there is enough interest I may backport to 1.10.2 or 1.7.10 in the future, but for now these versions will no longer be updated.
Legacy Config (Minecraft Version 1.10 and below) (Located at /Config/concheckrmd.cfg)

BLUE: Boolean (Meaning they can only be changed to 'true' or 'false')
ORANGE: String (Meaning they can be changed to any text. eg: 'Hello World')
PURPLE: Integers (Meaning they can be changed to any number. eg: '512')

Is there a way to add colours to the in-game greeting message ?
In reply to Saphirr_cr:
Not currently! It was a feature I was planning to implement when adding the chat functionality but it never got done. I'll add it to another build shortly.
1.8.9 please?
In reply to EnduSPL:
Sure. I’ll release a 1.8.9 version soon.
In reply to matt1235r:
I've released a 1.8.9 version.
If you find a way you are going to be a life saver!
In reply to Lightningl:
Check out the latest build! Should have the feature you are looking for. It is currently in Alpha but providing there are no issues I'll release it within the next week or so.
In reply to matt_r__:
Hey, it's already closer to what i'm searching for.
do you maybe have discord? then i can explain it a little bit more with screenshots what i'm exactly searching for.
Hello is it possible to add a feature that checks the checksums of the mods?
for example in Flan's Mod it's very easy to adjust for example the recoil of a gun and it'sclient side so if a player joins a server with their recoil on 0 they are basically cheating but it is hard to detect.
In reply to Lightningl:
Sure! I'll have think on the best way to implement that. Thank you for your suggestion.
I have a request: If it takes more than a configurable amount of time (in seconds) to reach the menu screen, kill minecraft and display a custom message. Here's what I picture as the config (modified from the ram checking thing to fit this):
"amount of time game is allocated to start" { # The amount of RAM required for the game to run. # Min: 60 (1 Minute) # Max: 3600 (1 hour) I:"1) Time Allowed (IN SEC)"=1200 # If the game takes longer than the time allocated to start up the player will be alerted as the game starts and the game will close. B:"2) Check Time requirement?"=true # Will the window show on top of all other windows? I highly recommend this is left as true. B:"3) Display message box topmost?"=true # Customize the text that appears in the error message. Will display custom message instead of the default text. B:"4) Display custom text in message box?"=true # The custom message to be displayed in chat if you have set the previous setting to 'True'. Will display custom message instead of the default text. S:"5) Custom Chat Message"=Minecraft has taken too long to start, and has been forcibly closed. }Reasoning: my pack is large, and even if the amount of ram allocated is met, it's still possible that the system will not run it, and I'd rather flat out tell people that their computer cannot run it than let them have a horrible experience with it.
In reply to DFArun:
Hi, would it be possible to check a certain filedate?
And if that date is less than in the config it displays a message?
The reason I'm asking is that of better questing, I display a message that people need to update the quest book, but of course that is always the case even after they did.

In reply to matt_r__:
By default, this mod will be loaded after other mods, due to alphabetical loading in forge. That means the memory checks may run too late and the process will already be out of available memory. Suggestion: Add before:* or required-before:* to dependencies in @Mod() so that the memory checks run before attempting to load other mods.
In reply to nickythefist:
This is awesome!! Are you down to release a version for 1.10.2 and 1.11.2?
