Modget

What is it?

Modget is the first fully functional package manager for Minecraft mods. In the future, it will be able to safely install mods via commands, handle their dependencies, search for updates, and much more.

Why is it needed?

Since the beginning of Minecraft modding, players have faced difficulties finding safe and reliable sites to download mods. Although this problem is partially solved now thanks to developers mainly focusing on CurseForge and Modrinth, you still have to check each time which of the two platforms has the desired mod and where you can find the latest updates, since developers often get lazy and forget to update both platforms.

That's why we are developing Modget - a new ambitious approach to the old problem of downloading and updating Minecraft mods. It works much like Microsoft Winget, fetching new version metadata from a central GitHub repository. This allows us to be much more flexible than previous mod update implementations, which were limited by the metadata provided by Curseforge.

This has a side effect: currently, only mods added to our manifest repository work. If you want to help us support more mods, join our Discord server, and we'll show you how you can help!

How to use it?

Already implemented:

/modget list                     List all installed mods recognized by modget
/modget repos list               List all installed manifest repositories
/modget repos add <repo url>     Add a custom repository
/modget repos enable <repo id>   Enable the selected repository
/modget repos disable <repo id>  Disable the selected repository
/modget repos remove <repo id>   Remove the selected repository
/modget search <mod>             Search all repositories for a matching mod
/modget upgrade                  List all available mod updates
/modget refresh                  Refresh the local manifest cache

Coming in future versions:

/modget install <mod>            Download the corresponding mod
/modget uninstall <mod>          Delete the corresponding mod
/modget upgrade <mod>            Update the corresponding mod
/modget upgrade --all            Update all mods

We also have a GUI in development:

If you still have questions or encounter problems while using the mod, feel free to join our Discord server and ask questions there.

Note: Starting from version 0.2.2, Modget no longer bundles the Server Translations API. If you want to install Modget on a dedicated server, please install this API there as well, otherwise your chat messages will look like gibberish.
