2 years ago Q: Curseforge and FTB search/import/etc. does not work or is missing? A: Curseforge removed the old API that MultiMC used to search for modpacks and importing zips. A full replacement may take a while to put in place. None of the current options are ideal.
For now, download the packs using their respective launchers and then import into MultiMC manually: https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/wiki/Manually-importing-modpacks
FTB App can handle both on all systems: https://www.feed-the-beast.com/app
In the short term, we'll see if we can automate import of packs downloaded via FTB
Long term, I would prefer an arrangement like this: https://curseforge-ideas.overwolf.com/ideas/CF-I-2523
Operating System
Windows
Description of bug
Mod ID resolves: When I try to add an instance from a downloaded zip file, it gives an error saying some ID resolving tasks failed.
Packs not showing: So this looks like a Curseforge unique problem, as I found the other launchers (FTB, Techinic, etc) to be fine, but for Curseforge, it does not show to packs to browse.
Steps to reproduce
Mod ID resolving issue:
Add Instance
Import from zip (zip being the pack you want to install, Nomifactory dev versions in my case)
Wait until it gets to Mod ID resolving
Error saying that some ID resolving tasks failed
Curseforge browsing problem:
Add instane
Curseforge tab
See that the pack space is empty and even searching doesn't change anything. Again other tabs don't have that problem for me.
Suspected cause
I do not know what's the possible cause here as this didn't happen last time I used MultiMC, which I think it was at least month ago. I had a feeling for the 2nd issue that it might be the firewall, but I think I'm wrong since again, this wasn't a problem last time.
This issue is unique
