This morning I was trying to install a modpack on my minecraft server after getting a zip file, and its quite painful when I unzip everything in the current directory rather than the directory it belongs in.
I had the files on a Windows Machine
So I've been struggling to get mods installed on linux lately and the easiest way to download the entire pack rather than each mod one by one seems to be to use the overwolf application on windows. Once I have the modpack I can start myself a small mod-server by zipping it, putting it in a mod-server directory and running a python http.server
python -m http.server
Downoading on the server
Then I go back to my server and download the modpack with wget.
wget 10.0.0.171:8000/One%2BBlock%2BServer%2BPack-1.4.zip
Unzip to the minecraft-data directory
Now I can unzip my mods into the minecraft-data
directory.
unzip One+Block+Server+Pack-1.4.zip -d minecraft-data
Running the server with docker
I run the minecraft server with docker, which is setup to mount the minecraft-data directory.

A bit more on that in the other post, but when I download the whole modpack like this I make these changes to my docker compose. (commented out lines)
