I run a minecraft server that auto-updates the modpack, but I have clients that don't auto-update. I'd like to be able to show the modpack version in my discord's minecraft channel topic so I can check that before joining. Currently this mod supports ${mc_version} for getting the base minecraft version, but adding support for the forge/fabric version and the modpack version similar to better compatibility checker would allow me to see that information at a glance

Hello,
Forge version could be added. However it will be harder to add mod pack version. How should I get thr mod pack current version. It's managed neither by forge or Minecraft. Better compatibility checker use it's own data

As far as I can tell, bcc seems to be the de-facto mod pack versioning mod. Curseforge shows over 6k modpacks using it, and there doesn't seem to be any other mod with that functionality. If there's no bcc config file to read the modpack version out of, then I would suggest simply leaving the modpack version string empty for those cases, and noting in documentation that this value requires bcc to function

Will look into adding this feature in the next mod update
