💡 Idea: One-Click Local Server Setup in CurseForge

Imagine being able to launch a local Minecraft server (e.g. Forge) directly from CurseForge—no more downloading server files, tweaking Java paths, or dealing with complex setups. With this feature, users could simply create a custom server modpack, add their mods, and then click a "Play as Server" button. CurseForge would handle the backend—running the server through the included run.bat or equivalent—just like it does for client modpacks.

🎮 Who would benefit?

• Casual players hosting quick modded sessions with friends

• Content creators testing multiplayer modpacks

• Beginners experimenting with local server setups

• Anyone who runs both a client and local server side-by-side (like I do!)

🔧 Why is it useful?
It removes technical barriers and saves time. No more jumping through hoops to set up a server—just mod, click, and play.

This feature would make CurseForge more than a launcher—it would become a complete modded multiplayer platform, right out of the box.
