MultiMC can no longer be officially packagedby linux distribution. Most now package PolyMC instead, a fork that supports all major OSes,

I've been using the packwiz-installer for some time (and contributed to packwiz a bit) and it's been great. I'm wondering if it covers all that usecase we want for the tuxcraft installer ?

From what I can fell, packwiz allows us to:

• create a custom modpack
• version it in git
• "build" (more like fetching all the mods) it in CI and uploading it as public artifacts
• Pack it in an archive file (think zip or tar.gz, but with a different extension)
  And the installer allows to:
• Install a modpack from a packwiz modpack archive
• Auto-update modpacks, by hosting a packwiz manifest somewhere accessible by http(s) and letting the installer access it

What the packwiz(-installer) doesn't provide is a GUI.

The code was written in Java 8, and could benefit from modern Java conventions and features.
