CurseForge is a program that allows you to manage mods and addons for a variety of games. One of its strongest features is the ability for anyone to create modpacks which will quickly and automatically install a list of mods/addons. These can then easily be shared to your other players, getting everyone on and playing quicker! For some example modpacks, you can check out our recommended list: Best Minecraft Modpacks
