greed ruins everything, sadly.
Yea
Yup, the love of money is the root of all evil
True 👍
@@MatthewDavidson03 ye
That's why we need people with good morals to lead companies
The newest virus thing most likely only struck Curseforge because it's bigger, however that doesn't excuse the rest
It spreads via jar files, its unlikely curseforge was the only target.
also bukkit
@@wo0zee533 and moderanth
@@LeroxYT modrinth could find no malicious mods with that virus on their platform, their staff ran a scan
Its most likely just targeted at the entire modding community in general.
I love when monopoly businesses reach their end. Why cant a business just be good and not ruin its self like this. Its really not hard to not squeeze every last penny out of people you are offering services to.
Late stage capitalism is structured to function this way. When greed is rewarded sadly people will do bad things
@@hadrian.2796late stage capitalism? We're not even in the middle stage. Greed has always been a human issue, and is hardly argue greed is good for a business. Curseforge/twitch/ every company with a monopoly eventually fails due to poor quality product and complacency until a competitor arrives to challenge them again, that's just capitalism
The sheer willpower needed to resist greed.
Most people dont have it
@@Jiub_SNActually, yeah, you're so right about this. I was about to argue that this was definitely the late stages of capitalism because the only way you can progress in it is to get so greedy you take over everything and destroy it, but they haven't even gotten there yet. All capitalism is guaranteed to become the story of Icarus; they fly too close to the sun, burn up, and then crash into the ocean below. But they haven't even succeeded in having a completely locked down monopoly yet. Somehow they're already burning up before they could even bleed the community dry, and idk if it's incompetence on their part or a surprising amount of awareness from the community. Maybe a combo of both? I'm kinda proud. Hopefully Modrynrh works out better.
1 we're in late stage capitalism, it's 2023 not 1950
2 no greed is directly beneficial for your business especially if there are no alternatives, people won't stop using Facebook because there is no alternative, they can do whatever they want and people would still use Facebook, it's the same here, the only difference is that curseforge isn't big enough
I still remember when Twitch bought out Curse. That stupid launcher straight up broke on my PC, refused to load any Minecraft instance ever. And when I went to the forums to report this obviously horrific issue?
"Tough, get a new PC lol."
They lost my support long ago.
As a reminder, curse forge has been bought and sold by lots of people. It’s had a bumpy road and by this point it’s only mostly the people in it for the money running curse forge not the original people who care
"The original people who care" doesn't really work considering if they cared they wouldn't have sold out in the first place.
@@IamMortuithe only problem with your statement is that if they desperately NEED money they’ll have to sell it, or become homeless with a lot of company buyouts.
@@frozenolafnick5813 They never desperately needed money though and that argument doesn't work. Because if they were homeless they would not be on a computer hosting a website that was VERY popular and made TONS of revenue from just ADS alone. Nice try.
@@IamMortui frozen said they'll have to sell it or BECOME homeless not that they were.
@@IamMortuiYou also fail to realize, most of the times when companies "sell out" they need it to maintain updates or to expand their team for better updates. Money doesn't just come out of nowhere especially when you become an employer.
Man, hearing all this after joining a modded Minecraft server using CurseForge is crazy.
I just made a server using it hah, god damn it....
I am still going to use CurseForge for the server though as this is way easier for my use case and is already set up.
same lol
"modded minecraft server using curseforge"
please make the distinction between "Forge", the modloader, and "CurseForge", the mod distribution site, as they're 2 completely separate things
@@rosemary1541 why would you assume they meant forge? the players of the server could be using the cursed forge launcher to easily have a separate instance for the mod pack like many people do.
@@thephoenixking1086 i just worked on a mod pack with this…
One thing about Modrinth I really like is their maven api.
A developer can easily make a mod interact with other mods by simply adding a dependency from Modrinth directly, I don't have to download the mod/hope the mod has uploaded their mod to a specific maven repository.
it took me a few hours last week to find a working maven repo for hwyla, I really hope modrinth gets this right
You can do this already with the curseforge launcher
@@CoreTestines I've always had issues with curseforge API lol, not had really anything go wrong with modrinth
what is maven?
@@tooru a software build automation tool
My favourite CurseForge bug is that mods you can see on the webpage are not necessarily on the app. The "Falling Tree Mod" (mine a whole tree by breaking the lowest + faster leaf decay) for example. It just straight up, doesn't find it. Even when I click "open this mod in the app" on the webpage doesn't work...
I literally love modritnth for the simple fact that downloading anything is as straightforward as clicking the download button, on curseforge the download button is a launcher download and you have to click some smaller text off to the side to actually download what you want😭
Also Modrinth is way faster than CurseForge
Yes, but files and stuff, and I’m too lazy to do all dat (I will prob switch tho)
modrinth is also actually used for setting mod dependencies for mods developed on top of the fabric api
While not used by the average player, the API is top-notch as well. I only use ~20 mods, but get all of them from Modrinth, with the exception of Litematica and WorldEdit because they are not available there.
iv used both every now and again i use curseforge the most because of friends but prefer modrinth
ive been putting off updating my mods for 1.20 because im lazy
turns out it worked out in my favor
Same i didnt update since 19.2 i had luck
We gotta wait till those exist my guy
Same
Careful about updating right now-there’s been a serious virus going around
shit i just updated
It's important to note that the api changes are fully at the will of mod developers. They can choose whether their mods can be downloaded through third party launchers.
They still require all mods in a pack to be from Curseforge, though. No mixing in downloads from Modrinth are allowed.
@@benjaminmiddaugh2729wait that’s why, I’ve been having so many problems with this exact scenario and was so confused why it doesn’t work
@@Akhimed There are apparently a few approved exceptions (Sodium being the major one I know of). I don't know what's on the list or where to find it, though.
@@benjaminmiddaugh2729 yea cause sometimes I would try search mods in curseforge to try to mix with some modrinth ones and it never worked only showed me mod packs
5:06 - Expansion: LGPL allows you to redistribute the code from the project. That *doesn't* allow you to use their name or branding, which relates to fraud, trademark (possibly), and computer misuse law. It's a separate portion of the law which relates to completely different aspect of the project.

I don't know why the author would license it under the LGPL and then expect to have exclusive control, as the license is designed to prevent that. It ensures that software legally cannot be taken away from the community that wishes to use it or improve upon it. If someone takes the mod and improves, the original author should be glad of that, for it gives people better software.
This has been such a fascinating story to watch from a distance. I've been seeing a lot on twitter and such about this stuff.
Excellent job describing the issues and showing the full situation! Here's hoping this recent security problem will push Curseforge to make some changes.
Yooo Knarfy! I'm a huge fan. Glad to see we got someone like you on our side.
half of it isn't even true anymore lmao
Oh hey kool it's Knarfy
Nobody cares about origin realms sadly
@@sylv256 "anymore"? A lot of it just flat out isn't true to begin with. For instance the claim that viruses got spread through compromised curseforge accounts, which just isn't true. The virus was designed to spread to other .jar files on your system so mod developers, who tend to download and use a lot of .jar files, would get infected, and then the virus would copy itself into their in-development versions of the mods before upload.
It was phrased like it was an issue with curseforge and their security, but it wasn't even remotely related to that. It'd be like blaming walmart because you got the flu there from other customers.
Honestly, I hope modrinth gets more traction. I absolutely love the site.
Unlike CF, whose performance and ease of use in my experience has been terrible, I had no problem updating and editing my projects on modrinth.
Modrinth's design is sleek and easy on the eyes, while I still flashbang myself on CF.
For some reason, CF still uses their legacy site for alot of pages (sometimes I ask myself why they're calling it the legacy version if they're still using it).
CF always tries to push their launcher and makes me wait to start my download but modrinth just straight up lets me download what I want.
The only reason why I'm still using CF truth be told, is that CF projects get more visibility because of its bigger user base.
When I ran Better MC (Forge) BM3 with complementary shaders (yes I didn't get malware, this was a couple days ago.) I got 80/90 fps with freezing frames on Curseforge launcher. Then I did it with ATlauncher and I got 100-200 fps and no freezing. If that doesn't say something about Curseforge then idk what does.
The legacy version is here half of the time cuz it's still under rework and some pages were not replaced atm ...
@@Ihave0braincellz AT and any MultiMC fork are just way better honestly
@@Ihave0braincellz honestly thats not possible because after launching minecraft nothing seperates the launchers anymore. Minecraft doesnt care what its launched by, UNLESS you set a custom java version and/or custom JVM arguments in the launchers settings, which can be done on both (although changing java itself on curseforge is not easy to do)
@@commander3494 "I like your funny words, magic man." - JFK, Clone High.
No but seriously. The most likely reason for AT performing better than CF is because when launching Minecraft, CF makes some errors (learned this from Lunapixel.) AT supposedly makes less errors than CF so the performance is better.
im switching to modrinth
I already did lol,it's really faster when it comes to downloading.On CurseForge when you download a mod online,you have a 5 seconds timer.On Modrinth you just click download and that's it!
The key takeaway here is that competition is good. Whether people want to stick with CF or try something new, the fact that there are viable options will always be better than putting your eggs all in one basket. I'm still waiting for a serious competitor to Nexus. ModDB is something, but it has its own wealth of problems.
And what is wrong with nexusmods?

Hi ModMuss I love your work. keep being awesome
LiNa Modrinth
Well you should
This truly places the “Curse” in Curseforge.
Lol 😂
Another example was the exodus of modders moving from forge to fabric; to be honest I think this all stinks, while I understand both sides rationale it doesn't change the fact that players are also getting screwed over by this mess and this spillover of this feud between developers and platforms does nothing but force people to take sides and (maybe it's me just being selfish and petty but) that is the last thing I want to deal with when I just want to enjoy a game with my favorite mods.
There isn't any real exodus. ONE person and a small clique split off, and they themselves were so toxic that fabric didn't last more than a few years before its entire community (such as it is) split again into quilt. Every serious content mod for minecraft is on Forge. The forge community is about minecraft, the fabric community is about how much it hates forge.
@@superslash7254 as small as it was it had some good mods that dropped support for forge. But yeah, modding community should be about the game.
For a user you're getting effectively double the Ads as a result. Before Modrinth eventually gets owned by someone it will be fine. Then we just have 2 Curseforges. Modrinth is less then a 1 piece of tissue paper on a serious wound.
There isn't anything wrong with standing up for yourself, but it is just going to make everything worse still unless society grows and stops going off the deep end.
I'll second that. There was a lot of backlash at the beginning (Forge is evil, go to Fabric!), but my experience with Fabric has been... disappointing to say the least. I personally never used Fabric because their lack of experience did not make me want to try it. Rightfully so. A couple weeks ago, I tried creating a Fabric profile to use MiniHUD (which discontinued support for Forge) and low and behold, Fabrig is plagued with compatibility issues between the loader, the API and to mods themselves. I play in 1.20.1 and the optifabric mod for 1.20.1 has compatibility issue with the latest available version of the loader and the API for 1.20.1 so I had to try older versions of them until I found a working version... Talk about user experience.
Result of it: went back to Forge and I use the fabric profile only when I need miniHUD, I mark what I need and switch back to the forge install.
@@superslash7254 the fabric modding community is very much alive. A lot of insanely good performance and content mods are only available for fabric (and via modrinth).
And forge is still a legal (and technical) minefield from a devs POV. Forge is IMO just... worse and they should have just discontinued it after Fabric gained traction.
This isn't my usual kind of video, but I felt that it was an important one to make. Please support the Sodium, Iris and Mod Menu authors by downloading their mods from Modrinth: modrinth.com
Its imortant, that you informate us
HAHA MY COMMENT WAS BEFORE YOUR COMMENT
As a person who uses mods i think you did very well by spreading the word. Honestly it wont be bad to do this sort of informational videos about minecraft in general. This both alerts people of important news and gets you some much deserved views. Perhaps do it more often :)
ures still bluedragonnuke
sad
Hats off to everyone involved with Modrinth!
Modrinth is exactly what modded MC needs, and I'm excited to see their launcher progress until it's ready for a full release!
I've checked out the Modrinth page, and have not had luck finding anywhere to donate to the project. Is there a link I'm missing, or do they not have such a way to contribute financially?
I'm planning to continue using Curseforge for a few months. Once they've significantly sabatoged themselves, all the mods I use should move to Modilith and I'll switch without losing any of them.
you could move the mods manually especially if any of those mods are no longer supported they won't be moved
How did they sabotage themself ?

Rasplin!
Rasplin, when new video?
@@notallthatskilled no one cares
Yea, I’ve been aware of this too, hopefully this gets dealt with so I can download those mods
It was already bad enough when mods were split between game versions, and it became worse when Fabric released, and mods started to become split between the 2 mod loaders. Now, while competition is good to prevent the mod distribution platforms from getting too scummy, like you said, it will make creating your dream modpack even harder now that mods will also become split between mod platforms.
Fabric was made because of some forge modloader issues or coding specifics that hindered some modders. Now there is also another mod loader called Quilt with some mods being Quilt only as well. Thankfully, this one has support for 99% of fabric mods so it isn't really an issue in terms of low mod author use.
I was also very very hesitant about moving from Forge, but Sodium + Iris mods has been such an upgrade for me. Many essential type mods and Fabric/Quilt equivalent versions of other favorite mods are out now that the switch is easier to try.
Another big plus was that MultiMC has support for all modloaders, making installation super easy.
Now Im back to waiting for some mods to update to newer MC versions like before lol
glad to see modrinth getting this much attention, loved it's open source first approach since the start
thanks for making this video, i heard curseforge was bad but i didnt know how deep it went.
Curse forge isn’t bad it’s just the hacker using malware from it
The moderators are also kinda unfriendly. At least mine... I tried uploading a modpack, and they were not really friendly
It's funny that you ask ppl to only send positively to mod authors and not harass curseforge while the video thumbnail is curseforge = evil
Lot of outdated / misinformation + explaining for 3 minutes why something is bad to end up in a sentence to explain why in fact it was logical for CF to do it, isn't the best way to prevent useless hate yeah
@@armin0427 I think you need to realize that logical doesn't mean good
@@LineOfThy i think you need to realise that you don't make money from not making a logical choice. Restricting their API wasn't especially ideal but between that and knowing all devs would have earned at least 30 to 50% less money as one myself, sometime you need to make a restrictive choice, and talking for 3 minutes of how bad this idea was before saying "oh btw i said that but yeah it's true that without that they would have lost a huge part of their main money making method, so they were kinda forced to do that" is only a way to antagonize CF for no reason. Saying modrinth don't do this kind of stuff is stupid since modrinth benefits way more of being able to use mods on CF than the other way around, and I doubt that CF love the idea of not only losing money but also giving free money to concurrent for no other reason than "some peoples will find that nice"
@@armin0427 exactly. So why are you suggesting that purples was contradicting himself?
@@LineOfThy because showing a logical choice under the prism of evilness only raise fee hate and misperception of this informations
Modrinth is nice, its extremely user friendly and offers a wide range of filters.
It also makes it clear what dependencies a mod needs and whether its loaded on forge, fabric or both
Thanks for letting me know about this mod, this is exactly what I needed for my 126 mods game.
This video is wonderfully put together and presents the information in a way that even I can understand, great job Purplers!

thank you, I’m new to Minecraft mods and this is really helpful
Wha
This is really sad to hear ... i am playing minecraft since 1.9 beta and was modding it with forge ... really sad, i really hope they will fix all their problems.
So should I delete cursed forge
Most likely :/
i hate to sound rude but could have possibly mentioned the new virus called "Fractureiser" or at least put it in the description so people know not to download mods for a while
I think it's already under control now so no need (Curseforge's words)
He did; he just didn't name it by name
Curseforge has nothing to do with it…. It’s an .jar virus so it can happen anywhere
as a minecraft launcher developer i can say that it is much easier to work with modrinth, cause their api is just very good documented and i dont need to get in contact with them to get fuckin api key. i just wanna get modpack list from your website!
I hope I can get all my favorite mods on Modrinth, but I don't see that happening for a long time. I don't like CurseForge at all, but I will say in the last couple months or so they did something to their backend or CDN and now stuff loads and updates extremely quickly. I was impressed when I went to add mods to a custom pack and just flicked my mouse wheel and let it scroll. That would NEVER have been able to load like that a year ago.
FYI, prism launcher skirts around the CurseForge API issue, not sure about other launchers

Revenue shares are based on getting a portion of total profits. Iris's raise in popularity does not mean their revenue share should go up, it means that they get a larger cut. A larger cut of a much smaller revenue stream will still be less money.
Curseforge is not being greedy. They make dramatically less money now that they are no longer partnered with twitch. They have to rely on ad revenue because they have no other source of income.
Iris developers are just delusional if they expect curseforge to make extra money appear out of nowhere at a time when Minecraft modding as a whole is financially struggling.
Please take this video with a grain of salt, even the modrinth devs are critizising that some parts are incorrect/unfair
can you elaborate

thank you for this video, i've been looking for months for a legit alternative to curseforge. Kudos to the Sodium authors for making the move to something new and hopefully better.
Thanks for the heads up. I was just getting back in to Minecraft and modding so this is definitely a wake up call for those returning as well as new players/modders.
Modrinth is simply better overall with better UI and filters. Seperating modloaders on Curseforge is a massive pain in the ass. Not on Modrinth.
Modrinth seems like a really good platform to me. Been using it a lot recently
Its really weird because I did all the scans on that Curseforge support page and there was no malware even though I vividly remember downloading Better MC (FORGE) BM3 for a test and deleting it a couple days ago. Maybe it was before it got compromised. If that's so, then I dodged a bullet.
I had luck i only had better mc (forge) bm1
there were only 6000 downloads of the malware across the entire website
Glad that better mc got targeted since the modpack is mid and overrated
@@frankierodriguez866 I disagree but it's your opinion.
Apparently this virus laid dormant for a few weeks before getting discovered yesterday. I also can't explain why my Better MC isn't infested though.
As someone who plays alot of modded games (mostly Skyrim) ive seen this kind of thing happen on the nexus website many times over the years (from both the platform itself and mod creators)
I'm also a big fan of the sims 4 as well as minecraft, and the sims devs recently worked with curseforge to set up a whole mod page for the sims, it's frustrating how lazy they can be even though they have such a popular website.
The methods used to do this were literally found by a mod developer SEVEN YEARS AGO
wdym "in danger" curse forge is bad yes, but modrinth is here to replace it
I wish other launchers had some QoL features that CF launcher has, like mods with updates moving to the top of the list, and mod dependencies being automatically downloaded. I haven’t been able to find any other launcher that has these 2 things.
GD launcher auto downloads some dependencies but not all dependencies.
I don’t fully understand it but they basically download dependencies they themselves trust.
Besides that they have an check for updates button and an update all mods button, they kinda make the second thing you want pointless.
This whole situation just really sucks for the players like myself, because everything has been on curseforge and modrinth will take a while to get up to the content level of curseforge, along with older mods and packs needing to be re-uploaded.
ye, I would prefer if everyone just stayed in one area so I don't need to hop around websites and launchers and shit just to play a fucking block game without getting bored.
@@ligma6992 The key takeaway here is that competition is good. Whether people want to stick with CF or try something new, the fact that there are viable options will always be better than putting your eggs all in one basket.
Reddit, Twitch, now I see this, feels like the Internet is on its way going to shit currently
0:36 Amazing explanation 10/10
0:40 Yeah i know this issue i have a 1050 Ti with optifine 1.16.5 i have with the continuum shader like 30 FPS and in vanilla it depends on the version 1.19 i have a lot of framedrops
I will wait for Modrinth to have enough functionality to run my and my buddy's modpack, and then, when we can do it, we will migrate our modpack there. Sadly now not all mods from our pack had been uploaded there, so through Modrinth, we would only be able to spread our modpack in form of separate file instead of list of mods, which is very bothersome in terms of updating. We will have to stay on CF for now :'(
I’ve been using Modrinth almost since its beginning, and I love it
I’m only using CurseForge when there’s an exclusive mod on it
I have to use it for 1.12.2, because 1..12.2 versions of mods aren't on modrinth
If I had money, I would get a gaming laptop and play Minecraft with shaders for the rest of my life😶🌫
0:54 modpack shown is: "Cobblemon [Forge]" on modrinth
CurseForge is forging curses at this point.
I never knew about these mods. My knowledge ended on Optifine some 6 yeas ago. Recently I tried playing again, but my old PC isn't good anymore. But there's hope :)
Yes, there is definetely hope. There have been many incredible optimization mods made recently (sodium, lithium, starlight, ferritecore, modernfix, to name a few) that greatly improve the games performance making it run with so much less resources
Sodium is utterly insane for optimization of modern versions, and if you want something to make older versions just a tinge better than they used to be, Ears, despite being primarily a Fabric mod that modifies skin rendering for extra features, also has Forge backports that let 1.9+ skins render in 1.8 and earlier. Both of these are entirely clientside, and don't effect gameplay outside of what the individual lone player sees, and thus could be used even on Vanilla servers without issue or tripping anticheat.
Thank you thank you for this important video! I needed to know this, this is just so bad! Its so hard to see creative people be free on stuff like this...
7:00 NO. The primary job of any large business is NOT to make money. The primary job of EVERY business is to provide a product or service to customers, for which they pay you so you can make money. Businesses, and especially shareholders, frequently (conveniently) forget this. Once your goal is to make money instead of provide your product/service, you're done; because someone else will do a better job of taking care of your customers, whom you've uncaringly pissed off, and they will gladly jump ship and watch you fail.
The reality is that businesses are beholden to profits above all else, regardless of what they theoretically are supposed to be for.
Great PSA. If I can ever get newer versions of Minecraft working again I'll be sure to try modrinth first.
Huh. I thought that it was about the recent malware attack on curse.
I have been using curseforge for years now just because "it was good enough". Even though I constantly was complaining how slow(more like clunky) and unresponsive it is, it did the job. I should clarify that I play on an older version(1.12.2), so some mod distributing services might not have mods for the version. Today I tried Modrinth and it is a blessing. So fast, responsive and the collection of mods isn't much less than CF's. Additionally, there's this stuff that was discussed in this video, so I think I will switch to Modrinth altogether
One thing I'd be careful about, Modrinth's 100% ad revenue isn't how reality works.
Somehow the site needs to run and make money to support it. Seeing a 100% is often not trustworthy in the long term, it is too good to be true. It has the energy of someone trying to out compete so they can be the one screwing over others.
As of right now modrinth launches minecraft with the same mods almost 3 times as faster, thank you for introducing me to modrinth
I knew Curse Forge had it's problems, but I didn't know it was that bad. Once I discovered Modrinth however, it quickly became my main source of mods, simply because of how fast it is.
Aye....does it have a lot of the mods of curseforge...i have mods i like...unless i manually moved files over from curseforge to mondrith...
@@tearex8688 Most of the mods on there can be found in both places, albeit Modrinth is more Fabric/Quilt-centric. This isn't because of the site itself, but simply the community who upload there. That said, CurseForge is obviously still the larger platform, not even counting a large back catalog of mods for older game versions that are no longer maintained contributing to its higher numbers.
To give an idea from a practical standpoint, I use ~20 mods total in a typical game (Fabric), and only have to go to CurseForge for two of them (namely Litematic and WorldEdit). Literally every other mod I use is on Modrinth.
If you are looking for another curseforge alternative I suggest the technic launcher. They have been around since 2011 and have a great library of old school modpacks
love ur vids dude, so many information from every video.
Third Party downloads are such an easy and good way to download that it is simply unthinkable to use any other way. I want to be able to download my modpack and later edit mods or add new ones, not just download and play on a fixed instance that is hard to modify.
Monrinth is quite literally a byproduct of the Minecraft GODS, It is as if Jesus himself were thy to be a Minecraft mod launcher. The epitome of the greatest beauty the human species has ever bestowed upon.
W Modrinth.
Discord ded, reddit ded, twitter ded, tiktok ded, curse forge ded, every popular company ded.
Why discord?
@@alpuxr.l.not OP and a bit late to the party but:
- rampant inappropriateness with minors going unchecked
- rampant racism and bigotry going unchecked to the point that they were connected to the planning of a white nationalist meeting and a shooting
- multiple changes to mod tools that make it harder to keep said bad people away
- and much, much more.
everyone should begin moving to prism launcher. It has its own built in mod downloader that u can choose mods from both modrinth and curseforge
Sodium has gone back to using CF, the notice is no longer on the page and their latest update was Feb 8 2024. Also none of this was Curseforge's doing its all Overwolf, no one wanted to use the CF app because it required Overwolf to run along side it and that app has a detrimental effect on peoples PC's so they launched a "stand alone" version that in fact just hid Overwolf from popping up and you can still see it running in the system tray.
Please keep informing us further about this on the community page.
I've only just found out with this video why the mods I use moved to Modrinth. Just whitelisted them on my AdBlocker because of it. After using the site its clear that its a million times better than Curseforge.
the only ad in modrinth is exaroton tbh
@@blrryfaceyes because they do not want to use the google Ad System and were unhappy with alternatives (lile ethical ads) they developed their own advertisement system Adrinth
bro has a adblocker lmfao.
@@robiagacitei5487 what's the issue with that? Why don't YOU have one?
@@Spatzleboy i know, but technically anyone could buy ads @ adrithn
Didn't know about any of this, but I've just been using modrinth since all the mods I like are on there with the prism launcher now.
Downloaded and set up modrinth while watching thanks for the info
Sadly im locked to curse forge because so many mods that i use are only on curse force like alex’s mobs etc.
Edit: thanks for the likes
alex mobs is shit anyway
Just. Don't use it for now ok?
I'll miss my kangaroo army
curseforge is fine, honestly. its a lot of fearmongering and a huge hate train. the devs behind it have made multiple huge positive decisions that have turned out great.
@@Ihave0braincellz I will wait when curse forge gets better or the drama dies down.
I would totally go with Modrinth, the problem is that all the mods I want to play with are on...CurseForge. A lot of the mods I like are older or inactive mods like Railcraft aren't on Modrinth sadly, and in my opinion, that is the main reason why people were more reluctant to switch to Modrinth, until CurseForge got hacked. Now I'm hoping that more mods move to Modrinth so more people can access the mods they love.
@@NotRyken why not make a virus that spreads from actual proximity to other mods?
I believe in modrinth quilt supremacy.
I recently started playing modded Minecraft for the first time, and I had no idea any of this was happening on Curseforge. Hopefully all my favorite mods find their way onto Modrinth.
Most of them are already there, and in any case, many launchers (such as Prism Launcher or Modrinth) let you download automatically from both sites.
Interesting video, but there is a flaw with the video that I think needs to be addressed.
You state at the end of your video that you do not want people to spread negativity regarding curseforge and instead spread positivity regarding the competition. However, if that is the goal, then your thumbnail directly goes against that by listing curseforge as evil. Yes, it is a attention grabbing thumbnail, but I'm sure there are ways to make good thumbnails without going against your own stated goal?
They have been handling the virus situation very well at least, I agree that they do need some competition though as it would be beneficial to everyone. The title and thumbnail are totally clickbait though so you're getting an Australian thumbs up from me
took me a few minutes to understand you meant an upside-down thumbs up and not literally a thumbs up from Australia... just putting it out there for people who are as dumb as me lol
@L I think I took one of you when I read their comment. Did not get the meaning until now. I thought they were just an Aussie saying "good job" 😶.
@@L-73580 I said it like that so the algorithm doesn't have a fit.
@@_shadow_1 clever, gg
Yeah thought so lmao
ever since using prism launcher ive never looked back at curseforge
I have been playing minecraft since 2 months ago and only recently putting Mods in my world. Curseforge is also one of the platform i know first. It’s quite easy to use, since you can customize the modpack and else. It list what kind of mods you have installed and notify you if there’s any update available. That’s also the thing that made me aware that many of the mods are leaving the platform for their newly updates and moving to the Modrinth. So I just do that, still using my default launcher from microsoft store, I stumbled around to understand how to make any of my mods work. Luckily in every page of the mods I want to download, they mention the mods needed in order for certain mod works. It’s quite easy to follow. Then uninstall the curseforge, because i feel like there’s some problem with it one way or another that causes these modders move to another platform. But still, I feel curseforge is convenient to use with the feature I mentioned above.
most 3rd party launchers have the same functionality and more than the "curseforge app", as far as im aware, the curseforge website doesnt have the things you mentioned, so i assume you mean the launcher
overall, most other options are easier and faster than curseforge, hope you found your way around after switching
@@Sopsy_Hallow Oh, thank you for the correction. Yes, I mean the Launcher.
Another reason why there will never be another golden era of well-developed modpacks, aka expert (1.7.10 - 1.12.2). The community continues to fragment. First it was the division between forge, fabric and then Quilt. Now this.
Division? More like competition. Forge is shit in terms of performance and it is a good thing we have Quilt and Fabric.
@@Lusc1nt good thing when they decide to fucking work! I'm here to play minecraft not debug code and figure out why your mod isn't working as it should!
@@ligma6992 you act as if things were not objectively worse before fabric and quilt came out. quilt came out due to the fabric owners being actively hateful towards specific groups of people. fabric was simply better than forge, and quilt has owners that are simply better people than fabric. the shake-ups needed to happen a long time ago, but its a good thing its happening now because things will actually start working when the developers of the modding platforms actually take interest in their playerbase.
forge is inherently built on janky shit and hard to work with, fabric is substantially better, and quilt is better than fabric in terms of the product and the developers. from a technical standpoint, the transition off of forge was the single greatest thing to happen to minecraft modding. you simply cannot reasonably do all the things the transition to fabric allowed on forge.
the depreciation of forge is inevitable. if minecraft continues to have a large modding community forge simply will cease to be a viable option for the general userbase in the next 5 years. there is little incentive to keep developing with forge unless you specifically want to play older minecraft versions, and the wealth of mods from newer versions only keeps growing. there was a LONG period before things made the jump from 1.12 but when they finally did they really picked up steam.
fairly soon larger mods will stop supporting both forge and fabric, a lot of good mods already dont support forge, and most of the random mods dont support forge. its only really the bigger mods that have a large playerbase that have a reason to include both but that reason is shrinking as the months pass.
@@TheShizzlemop I ain't reading allat
That's a funny range of versions for a so called golden age.
Minecraft Beta was the golden age of mods. Titans like Twilight Forest, Mo Creatures, Pistons, Industrial Craft, and so much more.
Modrinth is based
My only question is this: I've used CurseForge because whenever I downloaded mods it would download needed libraries and APIs and all that good stuff required for certain mods at the same time. Which is quite a nice convenience. Can these other special launchers like Prisim do the same thing?
They better if they want people to move over
Biggest reason why I am waiting till all mods are converted to modrinth.
I have to use Curseforge for 1.12.2, because 1.12.2 versions of mods aren't usually on Modrinth.
I just hope they start to port some of the older packs (assuming the mods making up said packs are available there), in particular SkyFactory 4.
@@Mech3001 man i just looked for it and i couldn't find it, so sad
Me who plays bedrock edition :/
rip
Same
Java sucks😊
Bedrock brother:/
crying in bugs be like 😂
Just realized how terrible of a cycle this is that I hope gets broken.
A Site becomes terrible, people leave to an upcoming competitor, that gets big and the game starts all over again.
oooh, i’ve been looking for a replacement for curseforge. Thanks for the info on Modrinth!
