Research direction
The issue requests a force install option for FTBA (likely a modpack) in the Docker entrypoint. Since the body only contains a Discord link, the first step is to review that link (if accessible) for user context. Then, examine the existing install logic in the start scripts (e.g., start.sh or similar) to understand where a force flag can be injected. Consider adding an environment variable like FORCE INSTALL=true and modify the conditionals accordingly. Look for existing PRs or comments that might discuss this feature.
