Don't you hate when you are making a modpack and after adding and removing mods for a while, you don't know if you left unnecessary mods? Well, this tool aims to solve this!
This project makes use of the manifest inside the minecraft mods in JAR format. This makes it possible to establish relations between the mods and generate a network graph, so you can clearly see which mods are left alone and how the connections are established. Here is an example of the Cobblemon ModPack [NeoForge]:
Go to the official website to use this app!
Once you load your mods, you may notice the nodes have different colors depending on the connections they have. Not all colors appear by default; some are toggled by double-clicking the node. Here is how it works:
-
${\color{blue}\text{Blue}}$ indicates this mod is a Main mod. This means arrows can only go from this mod to another, but not the other way around. -
${\color{orange}\text{Orange}}$ indicates this mod is a Midpoint mod. This means arrows can go from this mod to another and vice versa. -
${\color{Yellow}\text{Yellow}}$ indicates this mod is a Dependency mod. This means arrows can only go to this mod, but there are no arrows coming from this mod. -
${\color{purple}\text{Purple}}$ indicates this mod is a Addon mod. This is a toggle for non-orphan-only nodes. Really useful when working with mods with massive addons such as the Create mod. -
${\color{red}\text{Red}}$ indicates this mod is an Orphan mod. This means this mod doesn't have any sort of connections with other mods. This doesn't necessarily mean it's a useless dependency, so it may need to be checked out. -
${\color{green}\text{Green}}$ indicates this mod is a Checked orphan mod. This is a toggle for orphan-only nodes. Useful when checking out useless dependencies.
Also, you can click any node and move it with its group around for organization. Finally, you can right click any node to search it on CurseForge, and read about it. If it's your first time loading the website, you'll be prompted with this little reminder:
Now you can enter Edit Mode, which allows you to connect nodes manually and modify relations between them! By default, the graph view will open in View Mode, which allows moving around and repositioning the nodes. You can change to Edit Mode by clicking the top right button.
In this mode instead of moving a node around when clicking on it, you can draw arrows from that node to another. Also, selecting an arrow and pressing the Delete key, will remove the selected arrow (this works in both modes). If you select a node instead, it'll delete all arrows related to that node.
You can always press Ctrl + Z to undo your changes, either adding or deleting an arrow!
Also you can now save your graphs on a JSON file. This can be done clicking on the new download icon right next to the total nodes count. You can then load the JSON file by dropping it onto the dropzone on the main page, just like a JAR file.
- Base release.
- Add the ability to mark orphan nodes as checked orphans.
- Add the ability to mark non-orphan nodes if they are addons.

The manifest used to describe all the mod components in any format was standardized in Minecraft version 1.14. So if your modpack is in a version lower than 1.14, this tool may not work properly!
This project was heavily inspired by some other ModPack makers projects, and it's meant to complement them, so check them out!
I also want to express my gratitude to the libraries that made this project possible. Huge thanks to the vis.js and Progress Bar.js among others.
