# ProjT Modpack
## Overview
ProjT Modpack was a curated Minecraft modpack created and distributed by Project Tick.
The project served as the official modpack offering alongside the ProjT Launcher, providing
a pre-configured set of mods for the Project Tick community.
**Status**: Archived — no longer maintained or distributed.

the ProjT Launcher which was GPL-3.0-**only**.
---
## Promotional Assets
The repository included several promotional images used for marketing and distribution:
### Modpack Screenshots
| File | Description |
|-----------|------------------------------------------|
| `ProjT1.png` | Promotional screenshot/image 1 |
| `ProjT2.png` | Promotional screenshot/image 2 |
| `ProjT3.png` | Promotional screenshot/image 3 |
These were likely used on mod platform listing pages (Modrinth, CurseForge) and
the Project Tick website.
### Affiliate Assets
| File | Format | Description |
|---------------------------|--------|--------------------------------------|
| `affiliate-banner-bg.webp` | WebP | Affiliate banner background image |
| `affiliate-banner-fg.webp` | WebP | Affiliate banner foreground overlay |
| `bisect-icon.webp` | WebP | Bisect Hosting affiliate icon |
The affiliate assets suggest the modpack had hosting partnership integrations,
specifically with [Bisect Hosting](https://www.bisecthosting.com/), a popular
Minecraft server hosting provider.
---
## Distribution
### Primary Distribution Channels
The modpack was distributed through:
1. **ProjT Launcher** — Native integration via the launcher's modpack download dialog
2. **Mod platforms** — Listed on Modrinth and/or CurseForge for wider discoverability
3. **Project Tick website** — https://projecttick.org/ (no longer active for this modpack)
### Installation Flow
Users could install the modpack through the ProjT Launcher:
1. Open ProjT Launcher
2. Navigate to the modpack browser
3. Search for "ProjT Modpack" or browse curated packs
4. Click Install — the launcher handles mod downloading and configuration
5. Launch the game with the modpack pre-configured
---
## Relationship to ProjT Launcher
The ProjT Modpack was tightly coupled with the ProjT Launcher:
- The launcher's modpack platform integrations (Modrinth, CurseForge, ATLauncher,
Technic, FTB) enabled direct modpack installation
- The modpack was the launcher's "showcase" offering — a reference configuration
demonstrating what the launcher could manage
- Promotional assets were shared between the modpack and launcher marketing
When the ProjT Launcher was archived, the modpack lost its primary distribution
channel and was archived alongside it.
---
## Relationship to MiniCraft Modpack
The ProjT Modpack was a separate project from the MiniCraft Modpack
(`archived/projt-minicraft-modpack/`):
| Aspect | ProjT Modpack | MiniCraft Modpack |
|----------------|----------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| **License** | GPL-3.0 | MIT |
| **Content** | Curated mod configuration | Pre-built modpack ZIPs |
| **Format** | Platform-distributed configs | Self-contained ZIP archives |
| **Versioning** | Standard semver | Season-based (S1–S4) |
| **Distribution**| Mod platforms + launcher | Direct download |
| **Period** | 2025–2026 | 2024–2026 |
---
## Why It Was Archived
The ProjT Modpack was archived because:
1. **Distribution channel archived** — The ProjT Launcher, which was the primary
distribution mechanism, was itself archived
2. **Community consolidation** — Project Tick's focus shifted to other projects
(MeshMC, corebinutils, cgit, etc.)
3. **No standalone value** — The modpack configuration files without a corresponding
launcher integration had limited utility
---
## Historical Significance
The ProjT Modpack was significant in Project Tick's history because:
- **Community engagement** — It was one of the first user-facing products, giving
the community something to interact with directly
- **Platform integration testing** — It served as a test bed for the launcher's
modpack download and installation workflows
- **Branding** — The promotional assets established Project Tick's visual identity
in the Minecraft modding community
- **Ecosystem validation** — It validated the end-to-end flow from mod curation
→ platform listing → launcher installation → gameplay
---
## File Details
### .gitattributes
The repository included Git attributes for handling binary files and line endings:
```
# Binary files should not be diffed
*.png binary
*.webp binary
```
### README.md
The README was minimal:
```markdown
# ProjT Modpack
```
This suggests the modpack's detailed description was maintained on the mod platform
listing pages rather than in the repository.

## Assets Inventory
### Image Assets
| Asset | Format | Size Category | Purpose |
|---------------------------|--------|---------------|------------------|
| `ProjT1.png` | PNG | Full-size | Promotional |
| `ProjT2.png` | PNG | Full-size | Promotional |
| `ProjT3.png` | PNG | Full-size | Promotional |
| `affiliate-banner-bg.webp`| WebP | Banner-size | Affiliate |
| `affiliate-banner-fg.webp`| WebP | Banner-size | Affiliate |
| `bisect-icon.webp` | WebP | Icon-size | Affiliate |
The use of WebP for affiliate/banner assets and PNG for screenshots reflects
the different quality requirements:
- PNG for screenshots — lossless quality for game imagery
- WebP for banners — smaller file size for web distribution
---
## Mod Content
The repository does not contain the mod files themselves (`.jar` files) — these
were downloaded dynamically through the launcher's mod platform integrations.
The modpack definition (which mods, versions, and configurations to include)
was stored in the platform-specific manifest format (e.g., Modrinth's
`modrinth.index.json` or CurseForge's `manifest.json`), which is not present
in the archived copy.
This is typical for modpack distribution: the repository contains metadata and
marketing assets, while the actual mod binaries are served by the platform CDNs.
