automatic dependency installation
This is a feature request.
When installing mods, the dependencies (other mods required for a mod to run properly) defined by the content author would be read by the launcher and automatically installed in parallel.
This would take into account the content labels (such as "Game Version", "Mod Loader" and "Status"), installing the latest versions in a profile if the labels match (Such as the "Mod Loader" of a profile being "Fabric", or the "Game Version" being "1.19"). Ultimately, this would remove the need to manually search and install each of the dependencies for a mod.
For example, the mod "Create" has 2 dependencies.
Currently I only know of curseforge showing dependencies on mod pages:
I have found a way to get dependencies from modrinth in the API here: Modrinth getDependencies
