Mod Types
The type="" attribute for each of the mods in your pack tells the ATLauncher how to deal with the mod and how to install
it. Some mod types contain extra attributes which must be added to your <mod /> declaration in order for it to work.
The ATLauncher admin website doesn’t check to make sure these work, so you must make sure and test yourself to make sure they work and install correctly.
Minecraft Forge
Section titled “Minecraft Forge”NOTE: the forge mod type is now deprecated. You shouldn’t be using this going forward, and instead should be making use of loaders.
