I would love to run mods aside from each other, but I can see this not really happening yet, but maybe when it's in a more organized layout, where there is one for every version in a different category of versions. Run mods alongside other mods would be a great addition.
Aside from that, Let's talk about Cauldron/Thermos. It's basically Spigot (a fork of Bukkit) and Forge combined. I know I talked about this before, But can we at least give this a possibility in the future, Where we can run plugins like EssentialsX, WorldEdit, WorldGuard, etc.
Having a endless amount of opportunities to combine mods and plugins alongside.
[I didn't mention Sponge especially since it's still in a Beta state]
Especially modpacks.
but in cases like Cauldron can't work with modpacks especially Mainly known modpacks as Tekkit Legends, Hexxit, etc. That's where Thermos comes in. Instead of putting Cauldron as a option, Maybe add Thermos (a fork of Cauldron that's more stable especially for modpacks) as a option, As long there's a version for it.
Like possibility it might work like this.
- Pick a mod or (if this would be already added)multiple combinations of mods either 1.6.4, 1.7.10, or 1.8,
- It will either show a little prompt, saying something like: "If you want to run plugins, please tick this checkbox."
- Let's assume that the checkbox is ticked and it will load all necessary files to put them on to a server.
This can allow a variety of items like multiple-worlds, Essentials simplistic commands, WorldEdit that works with mod blocks, and more!
