Pack Companion is the ultimate sentinel mod for 1.12.2 designed to perform a runtime check for modpack stability. It automatically identifies mods that are outdated, problematic, or superseded by modern alternatives.
Pack Companion features a deep Config Parser that analyses problematic Config field values through Reflection. It identifies settings that are known to cause crashes or severe performance issues.
Pack Companion is also deeply integrated with Universal Tweaks, and is able to identify mods that have been been superseded or merged into Universal Tweaks's feature set and provides the exact configuration settings required to replace them.
The mod generates both HTML/Markdown reports (found in your config/packcompanion/output folder). These reports provides a clean, readable breakdown of every flagged mod and config setting, complete with direct links to recommended fixes.
Upon joining the world, you will be provided a link to view the reports in your browser.
