I feel like Modrinth has become the place for new fresh ideas and Curseforge is for older mods & modpacks. Only issue with Modrinth (in my opinion) is the payouts being SO MUCH smaller than Curseforge's payouts. Would love to hear your opinion tho :D

[@Cygnus_MC]

I don't really have an opinion on that, i think it's because forge has been around for years and modrinth just got started

you actually get 90% of the revenue of your mods. modrinth is just smaller so its not making as much

You get a higher % of the revenue (90%) but the ads on the site are smaller.

[@Staro69]

i mean they JUST started so maybe give them some time?

[@Pallyk426]

one of the big things that could hold back on mod packs making a move over is exactly how this all began. since FTB has several mods that are staples in the modpack brewing, namely FTB quests which provides the quest book as a form of guidance in any pack. If an equivalent was developed I could see that starting up bigger mod packs in the modrinth scene

yeah, i can't upload my packs cuz the site bitches about the licenses for FTB Quests & a few more.

[@RhythmWeHear]

Personally disagree, as someone who has authored projects on spigot and used curseforge for a very long time, the comments section is often used incorrectly, and it's really frustrating. By both authors and users. Users will often post stacktraces that actually have nothing to do with the project itself, and tell the author their project is broken. Other times, authors will respond to genuine comments with extremely rudeness. It's a major layer of moderation that would be required by the Modrinth team if it were to actually be used well. I do think it'd be nice for there to be a way to report issues through Modrinth to the resource owner, similar to how they recently made it possible to send messages directly to the Modrinth team on your own resource, but I don't think a public comment section is a good idea

As someone who learned about modrinth just a few months ago, from my angle modrinth has started getting big from both the team behind sodium and iris almost completely leaving curseforge, and, I'm not too sure but I think I remember that during the exploit that happened before bleeding pipe, modrinth quickly shut down the malwear and was able to be back up not too long after while it took curseforge and other launchers far longer, not completely sure on that though

[@Cygnus_MC]

Yeah fracturizer. They didn't target modrinth as far as i know

[@delofj]

I used Modrinth for 2 years, and it is better on almost every point, the only reason to continue using CurseForge is for old exclusive mods They’re even developing their own launcher, which is really promising

[@Cygnus_MC]

Yep! Its very cool!

[@agentstarr5062]

Nah it isn't better on almost everyway. What I do believe Modrinth is better in is searching and discovering new, less popular mods. However, Modrinth lacks a lot of stuff, like comments and a relations page, as well as having way less variety compared to Curseforge, especially considering most mods there are Fabric mods. As for the launcher, it is in Alpha now (I believe) and is fine as a Modrinth only launcher, but fails to replace Prism launcher or MultiMC.

[@moonlitwyvern6840]

[@otaforger5375]

Not a big mods person as I mainly just work on projects, but when fabric came out I thought that was pretty huge. Being able to run shaders with high FPS while also having an insane view distance compared to what was capable prior felt like a game changer for immersive adventure maps. I'm not sure if all of the content mods benefit the same way, but since I like the fabric, iris, sodium, starlight combo it just seemed like the way to go. Coupled with us scripters getting new commands every update, the upcoming $ identifier and the ease of downloading these mods thru the rinth, minecraft has been evolving for sure.

[@Cygnus_MC]

It certainly has!

[@ybouzl2191]

Haven’t watched the video, but I usually use curseforge for the easy client, and I feel some options, such as the modpack maker make it indespensable for my purposes. Modrinth looks great, though. Just want it to be a little more feature-complete. Edit: did not realize modrinth is working on a launcher, will be switching asap.

[@Cygnus_MC]

Interesting, thanks!

[@TeaMaster420]

From a perspective of a modder, I'll say that modrinth doesn't really lack anything curseforge had. It's even better! The only missing thing I can really see is the comments under projects. Besides that, modrinth overcomes curseforge in almost every aspect. I'll never use curseforge again.

[@Cygnus_MC]

I preferred to switch to modrinth just because it was simple and easy to use, especially since they pay developers better and they have a more efficient and faster staff, for example, at the moment their servers have hard to hold, but they fixed the problem very quickly.

[@VinnyUnion]

​@@Cygnus_MC it's definitely and am i actually the only one or a tiny minority that is *highly* suspicious over modrinth? Something seems severely fishy about it. From both its founding and overall management. As far as I can see the developers/hired personnel for modrinth are the ones doing the heavy lifting and keeping this so extremely well made. I don't know man. This is either some intuition thing or a total miscalculation on my part. I feel strongly like as if this is one the few things that could just disappear very randomly or be bought by a another company. The thing with curseforge is that it is its own entity essentially. It's like cement, it just stays there and that's it. Similarly to the WW2 German cement flak tower, it's just not viable for it to cease to exists, it has a odd and conflicted past but when the sun someday may go haywire, it'll stand and even against a black hole.

Thank you for mentioning KSP, i used to use curse for KSP mods back in the day 🙏 (more related to the topic, I really love something about modrinth's design.

i've used modrinth twice as a dev so far (and like half a time as a user), and i kinda hate it so far. dumbass custom format for modpacks, so i had to copy my modpacks' dev instance on CF to it and re-export the thing. after that, you gotta deal with the automated bureaucracy that bitches about licenses. I can't even upload 95% of my modpacks due to it, and the one i do have there is missing several mods because of the license bitching. as a user, i hate the launcher's UI. The website's is fine, but the launcher feels really cramped and has some weirdness (e.g. having to go to the settings to categorize things instead of being able to click & drag in the library view) that CF simply doesn't have (plus, i can't make zip files to upload my packs, so i'd have to maintain two instances and that's a massive pain in the ass). never heard about Overwolf until they bought CF, but i did reinstall the launcher with the standalone version to remove their useless-ass bloatware.

But as of now, Modrinth has a much bigger catalogue of mods, up to the point if you wanna grab something for latest version of the game you most likely going to find all of it here (at least if you're using Fabric, can't say anything about amount of Forge mods here).

I don’t think either one will ever be “defeated”. Forge has been around for so long that it would be improbable for Modrinth to completely consume. Also Forge has a large backlog of mods from people who no longer update them, and from much older versions like 1.12. I also have a hard time finding the huge difference between them that others are talking about (from the downloaders pov). I just use them to download mods though, and don’t use the launcher, so idk.

I literally googled 'buy data' and the third hit is a databroker site where you can buy data like this thats collected by all these ad services. Google, microsoft, you name it. The data is spread between all these sites and companies that deal in data. Now consider that once something is on the internet, you cant remove it from there. That raises a lot of issues because these sites are tracking everyone, the data ends up on the internet, and its going to stay on the internet. You use chrome (probably), google knows which sites you visit. You googled some weird prn? They know, and if one company knows, so will the rest. That may be fine for today when its only money on the line, but what happens in 10-20 years when a western country elects laws that encroach on freedom and human rights? The data is available for everyone to buy, and the evil people will have access to it, and they'll know exactly whats up with everyone. Maybe that regimes wants to eradicate furries, so they bought a bunch of data, and 'dispose of' everyone who has googled furry related things more than a couple times. Or a real scenario. In the US Roe v Wade was overturned. In some states abortions are illegal now. Guess which company knows who googled 'abortion in other US states'. *All of them.* The only reason they arent being prosecuted en-masse is because the old fossils running the country dont have a clue how anything works on the internet.

[@Speiger]

Overwolf buying CF was actually the best thing that could have happend to Curseforge. Why? They are actually addressing issues redoing backend and all that stuff. Twitch was known to do the WORST JOB EVER and i don't envy Overwolf for having to deal with that. And even if some changes are not liked, 90% of the changes are positive in their nature. Also they increased Payouts by up to a factor of 10 to every mod receiving revenue upon takeover. So instead of making for example 40 cents a day for thousands of downloads a day people now receive 4 dollar a day for that. (Example numbers). That is something Modrinth at the moment can not compete with really. Also until like very recently Modrinth wasn't even an option for me mainly because: Their TOS basically gave them rights to make clones of mods and publish them as they wish. Basically the lithium indecent on CF but done my modrinth itself. Luckily this week this was fixed, they addressed that in the TOS and now modrinth is actually usable in terms of licensing. I personally like both UX from CF/Modrinth, though CF is still better, but Modrinth with their most recent patch has made a long way to improve things. The modders side is still bad... Almost unbearably especially if you want statistics. But the points where its important got a ton of things. I personally think once CF finishes their new UI Modrinth gets fire under their asses. While if Modrinth finishes their UI, improves the ad situation and a few other things, CF will have a ton of fire under their asses. In general i think competition is great, Modrinth does a great job providing competition, though i still prefer curseforge as a moddev/user by a long shot.

[@fabiofanf3e813]

honestly, modrinth just needs more filters and filter removal(like steam)

[@Enigma_ZXC]

Im lost in modrith i more used to curse forge launcher and web interfaece cuz i know what and where everything but modrith for me is not looks intuitive(((

[@Cygnus_MC]

I get you! Its all personal preference at the end of the day

[@jacobobos]

Curse forge is practically already obsolete. It's simply so clunky, people only use it for nostalgia

[@Cygnus_MC]

Seems to be a big opinion

[@Mabra51]

Does forge shows if a mod is client or server side ? Or a a mod's dependencies ?

[@Respear]

We use it for fun mods that don't exist on modrinth.

[@ethanbuttazzi2602]

@@Mabra51 they do link dependencies, as for client or server side, you generally alredy know that answer from reading the description.

curse forge sucks i mean for me sometimes beacause it wont work every tutorial i ever do it just does not work and says some kind of error code

[@Cygnus_MC]

U have a tutorial to download mods?

[@frostfloppagaming5285]

@@Cygnus_MC i tried a bunch of tutorials but it never works its probbably beacause of my computer

[@Cygnus_MC]

@frostfloppagaming5285 tutorials to upload a mod to a website? Curseforge is not forge the modloader right?

[@frostfloppagaming5285]

nvm no help at all

[@MrclockOFFICIAL]

Hello! Nice video!😊

[@Cygnus_MC]

Hey, thanks!

[@XVIIthKez]

Remember back in the days where we delete META INF in order to the game to not crash xD Also remembered installing my first mods, risugami's modloader and sprite mod. xD

[@Cygnus_MC]

Uhho

[@StopperCopper]

i think you got more than a headache

My train is swimming in the piano

[@paradoxcorporated2906]

I don't really want the curseforge's monopoly to end. I choosed it because it's the easiest way to mod the game without going into files. I tried AT launcher, but... It's ui is about shit. Imagine having forge vs fabric competition, but on launchers

[@Cygnus_MC]

Its not launchers, its Repositories, competition is always good!

PEBBLE!

[@LostLokiYT]

I use modrinth. Cleaner. Easier. Only complaint is the lack of mods, but they'll come in time
