    Separator Magic:

    When you select a separator, the plugin automatically includes all mods between that separator and the next one. This makes saving entire mod categories incredibly easy:

        📁 Profile Storage

        Profiles are stored in:

        ⚠️ Conflict Handling

        When loading a profile, the plugin checks for:

        • []Missing mods — Mods that were in the profile but no longer exist[/]

          []Missing plugins — Plugin files that have been removed[/]

          You will see a warning listing all missing items, with the option to continue anyway. Missing items are simply skipped.
