# ⚡ Quick Tips

- **Twitch Launcher Users:**  
  CurseForge used to be part of the Twitch App — it is now fully standalone, so you no longer need Twitch installed.
  
- **Multiple Modpacks:**  
  You can install and manage multiple different modpack profiles easily inside CurseForge.

- **Updates:**  
  CurseForge will automatically update your modpacks when new versions are released if you allow it.

# 🌎 Important Notes

- Always make sure your **Java version** is up to date for the best Minecraft modpack performance.
- Some large modpacks (like RLCraft, FTB Infinity) require more memory (RAM) allocated. You can adjust this inside **CurseForge > Settings > Minecraft > Java Settings**.
