Description
Would it be remotely possible to have a cleaner way of updating my curseforge modpacks? Maybe have an environment variable to called `update-pack` or something that would remove the mods and configs folder and then re-download them from the file specified by `CF_SERVER_MOD`? Currently, I just remove the `FeedTheBeast` folder which also resets all character levels, which is pretty annoying. I understand that many packs do things differently but maybe it would be possible to just download/copy over the updated mods and configs and delete everything else?

Research direction
Start by locating the startup logic that handles CF_SERVER_MOD and the FeedTheBeast directory. Determine how an update-only operation should preserve character data while refreshing mods and configs, then verify that the existing modpack installation behavior remains unchanged for other packs.
