Modrinth App
What it is
Modrinth App is an open-source launcher for managing mods and modpacks from projects hosted on Modrinth. It can install, uninstall, and update mods with a single click, and users can build, share, and play modpacks in the app. Integration with the Modrinth website provides access to favorite projects from the launcher. The app can import existing game instances from another launcher, reuse options and resource packs across instances, and switch between Minecraft skins. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and is free to use, with optional Modrinth Plus. The download page labels the release as beta, and the maker notes known issues with Linux versions on some systems and configurations. The source code is linked from the download page. Modrinth says user data is stored in the EEA and encrypted both at rest and in transit. The service is available to users aged 13 or older, and technical support requests can be sent to [email protected].
