FAQ

Why did you build this?

I built this because I wanted to use Minecraft's default launcher but still be able to easily install and update mods like in Modrinth's launcher.

Where do I get the mod name from?

Go to Modrinth and search for you desired mod. Then get the part after the /mod/ in the url, that is the mod name to use (don't include the last forward slash).

How does it work?

It works a lot like a package manager actually! It pulls the mods from a source (Modrinth) and installs them on the system.
