Morphology

mudpack = mud + pack (transparent) = mud + pack

The noun denotes a 'pack' (a compress or bundle) made of mud; the components 'mud' + 'pack' directly yield the meaning.

Etymology

Mudpack is simply the word mud ('wet earth') plus pack ('bundle' or 'wrap'), like in backpack, so it names a wrapped or layered bit of mud put on the skin for treatment.
