Publishing Guide

How to create and publish your Minecraft game on McBlox

đŸ“Ļ Modpack Structure

Your modpack must be a .zip file with a specific structure. Inside the zip, there should be one folder (name doesn't matter) containing your instance files:

📁 yourmodpack.zip
  â””── 📁 yourmodpack/
      â”œâ”€â”€ 📁 mods/           â† your mod JARs
      â”œâ”€â”€ 📁 config/        â† mod configs
      â”œâ”€â”€ 📁 resourcepacks/ ← optional resource packs
      â”œâ”€â”€ 📁 shaderpacks/   â† optional shaders
      â”œâ”€â”€ 📁 saves/          â† world saves (for world-type games)
      â””── options.txt       â† optional MC settings
ℹī¸

Think of it like zipping up your .minecraft folder contents — just the mods, config, saves, etc. Don't include the Minecraft JAR, libraries, or Java. McBlox handles all of that automatically.

Here's what it looks like in practice:

📁 rainmire.zip
📁 .. File folder
📁 rainmire 1,346,459,926 802,116,860 File folder 18/02/2026
Step 1: Your .zip contains one folder
📁 rainmire.zip\rainmire
📁 .. File folder
📁 saves 816,466,362 300,591,146 File folder 18/02/2026
📁 resourcepacks 201,375,299 189,302,075 File folder 18/02/2026
📁 mods 257,911,437 244,212,341 File folder 18/02/2026
📁 config 70,699,116 68,009,008 File folder 18/02/2026
📄 options.txt 7,712 2,290 Text Document 17/02/2026
Step 2: Inside that folder — mods, config, resourcepacks, saves, options.txt
⚠ī¸

Common mistakes: Don't put files directly in the zip root (must be inside one folder). Don't include the versions/, libraries/, or assets/ folders — McBlox downloads those automatically.

🚀 How to Publish

1

Create your modpack zip following the structure above. Include your mods, configs, resource packs, and optionally saves/options.txt.

2

Upload it to Google Drive, MediaFire, or Dropbox. Make sure the link is publicly accessible.

3

Sign in to McBlox on the website and go to the Publish page.

4

Fill out the form:

  • Title & Description — name your game and describe it
  • Tags — select up to 5 tags (RPG, PvP, Adventure, etc.)
  • Modpack URL — paste your upload link
  • Minecraft Version — the MC version your mods target
  • Mod Loader & Version — Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge + specific version
  • Game Type — Server (multiplayer) or World (singleplayer)
  • Server Address (if server type) — your server IP
  • Thumbnail — 16:9 image, drag to position
5

Submit for review. Your game will be reviewed by the McBlox team and approved within 24 hours.

6

That's it! Once approved, your game appears in the launcher for everyone to play. Track plays and ratings from your Dashboard.

💡

Tip: Enable Auto-Join for server games — it will automatically connect players to your server when they launch, and replace the Disconnect button with an Exit button. The McBlox mod is injected into the modpack automatically.

❓ FAQ

What mod loaders are supported?

Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge. McBlox downloads and installs the loader automatically — you just need to include the mods that match it.

Can I update my modpack after publishing?

Yes! Go to your Dashboard, click Edit on your game, and update the modpack URL. Players will re-download the modpack on their next launch (clear cache from launcher settings if needed).

How big can my modpack be?

There's no hard limit from McBlox — it depends on your file host. Google Drive has a 5 TB limit, MediaFire 10 GB free, Dropbox 2 GB free. Most modpacks are 200MB-1GB.

Do I need to include Java?

No. McBlox downloads and manages Java automatically for each Minecraft version.

Can I include world saves?

Yes! Put them in a saves/ folder inside your modpack. Great for adventure maps and singleplayer games. Set game type to "World" and enter the world folder name.
