What Modrinth App is
Modrinth App is an open-source launcher for playing mods and keeping them current. It can install, remove and update mods with a single click, and lets users build, share and play modpacks made from projects hosted on Modrinth. Integration with the Modrinth website makes those projects accessible from the app. Users can bring in existing game instances from another launcher, keep options and resource packs consistent across instances, and switch between Minecraft skins. The app is free, with optional Modrinth Plus, and runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. Its download page labels the release as beta. The maker notes that Linux versions can have problems on some systems and configurations, so Linux users may want to check compatibility for their setup. Modrinth says data is stored in the EEA and encrypted both in storage and during transfer. The terms say the service is available to users aged 13 and older. Technical support and other service communications can be sent to [email protected].
