View Mod Dependencies (show which mods will be installed with the desired mod)

When I add a mod to a modpack using the CurseForge app, its dependencies are installed automatically. In large modpacks—especially ones I didn’t create myself—it’s hard to tell what was added. Sometimes these automatic installs cause conflicts with other mods.

I propose a feature that shows which dependencies will be installed before confirming mod addition. For example:

  • a hover icon or badge next to the mod indicating “Has dependencies”

  • a tab or expandable panel in the mod overview showing the list of required and optional dependencies

This way users can review what will be added, avoid unexpected conflicts, and maintain better control over their modpacks.
