Instead of Modrinth
Modrinth alternatives
Modrinth centers on Minecraft: Java Edition, bringing mods, plugins, data packs, shaders, resource packs, and modpacks together with search and filters. Its desktop launcher installs, removes, and updates mods, and supports sharing modpacks; an open API enables integrations with other launchers. Creators can manage team permissions, receive ad revenue, and view project reports. The platform has a free tier, while Modrinth+ costs $4.99 per month. Its app remains in public beta on Windows, macOS, and Linux, and Linux versions may have issues on some systems and configurations.

The alternatives here range from another Minecraft catalog to managers for other games. Some focus on profiles, conflict detection, or a particular operating system, while others support many games or specific titles. Compare each product’s supported games and platforms, how it accesses and deploys mods, and whether it offers the tools you need. If Minecraft Java projects are your priority, CurseForge is the other Minecraft-focused option here; the remaining managers target different game-mod workflows rather than Modrinth’s project catalog and launcher.
