[Minecraft] Copy list of mods in a modpack

Add a button that simply copies a text based list of mods in a pack so it can be shared easily. Would be useful for detailing the contents of custom profiles without having to share a full export of the pack.

    As it still seems to be for future consideration and I don't know if you've found a simplistic solution in the meantime, I'll leave a comment about what I do in this situation.


    I use command prompt to generate the list. It's a simple one-liner that is very effective! Here's how to use it and what it does:

    1. Go to the folder containing your mods.

    2. Click on the address bar, replace the whole path with "cmd", press enter.

      1. This opens a command prompt directly to that folder.

    3. You can either create a text file from the list, or copy it directly to clipboard:

      1. dir /b > list.txt

        1. (creates a text file with all the files within the folder)

      2. dir /b | clip

        1. (does the same thing as above, but puts the output in your clipboard)


    Here's what the command does:
    dir /b: Lists files and directories in bare format (without additional details like file size, date, etc.).
    > list.txt: Creates a text file in your folder called "list", and places the output into this text file.
    | clip: Pipes the output of the dir /b command into the clipboard, so you can paste it wherever you need.
