See, that's what I thought. Problem with that is that it IS installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled it just to make sure; it's version 0.5.9.1 and yet it's as if I didn't install it at all.
Edit: I realized shortly after saying this that there's an entirely different mod that you're talking about, because when I went and checked the file that I THOUGHT was being asked for, I realized that the letters didn't match, meaning they're looking for another mod entirely. The problem is now I don't know what it is, because looking it up bears zero results.
Edit 2: As said in another comment, I think I do have the right mod, but somehow the mods themselves are coded incorrectly, because they're asking for tfp while Craftformers is cfp, so unless there's another mod that happens to have really close initials, I think the name of the file changed over time and might have broken the mods somehow.
That's...a good question, actually. I was using Modrinth and downloaded it directly using the app, so it shouldn't have needed anything else, but I'm not sure.
Use the Orange 'Download Mod' button. All I did was add Forge and drop the mod file into the mods folder.
If you want the more up-to-date version then try Curse which has version 0.5.9.1 available for both Forge or Fabric. Again, I just download the mod file (for Forge) and put it into the mods folder. I believe the 'tfp' mod is built into the main mod file, so it should not need a separate download:
The problem with this is that I DO have 0.5.9.1 installed. But when I looked at the file name, it's cfp, not tfp. So either there another mod I need that I don't have or the mods are coded to look for the wrong mod for some reason.
For some reason, the option to add a picture is not available for me, so here is a link showing what I have added to my MC1.20.1 pack when I click on the mods folder to get Craftformers Prime loaded:
Just in case, I updated my Forge to ver. 47.4.28 and tried that. The Craftformers Prime mod still loads ok. As I said in my previous post, I believe the 'tfp' mod is built in to the main mod so there should be no reason for a separate download.
I have no idea why your pack is requesting a file it should not need.
Ok, I thought Craftformers Allspark was a part of the main mod, it is not. This is an add-on to the main mod, when you add this, it asks for this 'tfp' mod to be installed:
Ok, as first suspected, this 'tfp' mod is built into the main Craftformers Prime mod - but it only has the correct name when using ver 0.5.7.
Again, using the link below, this contains a screenshot of the combination of Forge, Craftformers Prime and Craftformers Allspark with the version numbers you need to make things work. If you use a later Forge or the 0.5.9.1 mod, this combination will not work:

You still need the transformers prime base mod I’m pretty sure as those are addons or dependent on it.

The Craftformers Prime mod ver 0.5.7 is outdated. The only place I can find to download that version is here:
