List EVERY .jar or .zip within the mods folder in the contents tab.

Curseforge has a rather large catalogue of non-curseforge mods which are allowed to be part of modpacks.

The issue for pack devs is that there isn't an easy way to distinguish between the mods you installed through CF and the ones you got from other sources. This is an important feature for packs featuring multiple mods not hosted on CF. It would save time for both modpack makers (who have to either sieve through their modlist or manually keep notes) and for the moderation team (people would be more likely to check their modlist themselves).

Also a potential little icon next to non-curseforge mods would be nice, but beggars can't be choosers.

    or instead have a new files tab where you can see and manage all files in the mods folder, or even the whole instance folder with a built in editor
