Curseforge custom modpacks

[bovealexandre]

Describe the problem

When attempting to set up a Minecraft server with a custom modpack, the process fails at multiple steps due to missing or corrupt files.

1. Missing Start script/Forge JAR
   The modpack ZIP file does not include the necessary start script or forge jar files required to initialize the server.
   This prevents the server from being started directly after unzipping.

Solution : Put it manually in the zip file

2. Missing forge server file
   Same as above, it can't find the server file in libraries/**/forge-1.20.1-47.3.22-server.jar

3. Corrupt server file
   Error: Invalid or corrupt jarfile forge-1.20.1-47.3.22-server.jar
