Wait So how does this work, can some one help me out here?

More info can be found at our CurseForge Knowledge base here: http://www.curseforg...knowledge-base/

I think this is a great move for minecraft modding in general. I have already signed up and had a bit of a play. I do have a few questions though

1. How does the repository work in reference to the packager? The details on CurseForge seem very sparse on this feature
• I currently use a python script to compile/reobfuscate/pack my code, will this cause issues?
2. I have noticed there is currently no way to download minecraft mods within the curse client.
• Will this be something that is added in the future?
• What changes will we have to make in the files we upload to make our mod compatible with this feature (if it is added)?
• Will this feature also be avaliable for coremods? Furthemore will we be able to specicify both a coremod and a "regular forge mod" in our downloads? (My mod will soon require this)
3. In the future what is the best way to contact the curesforge team about issues/question sucha s the ones above?

Sounds cool, but it does need a bit of work on the stylesheet (from what I see, using chrome).

CurseForge is only meant for authors. It's not meant to look good, just get the job done. All released/beta mods will syndicate to Curse.com where users have a great looking site(really though, it's all subjective) to download mods/addons/etc. CurseForge was never meant for the general audience, only authors.

1. I don't think so, but if you could elaborate more on why you think it would cause issues I could get a better answer, but I don't think it'll be a problem at all.

2-1. We are looking into this, but my guess is that we wouldn't support such a feature until Mojang comes out with their official mod API.
2-2. Whatever Mojang thinks is appropriate we will also most likely use. Probably a zip with the mod in a folder below the top level.
2-3. If implemented this way, there will be no more core mods, sorry!

3. You can directly PM me here or on CurseForge, my username is the same on both, ahamling27.

I hope that helps answer your questions!

Ahh, ok

It's hideous :/ Whoever did the layout needs remedial lessons from someone who did any of the other Curse sites.

The link in the OP is borked, please change it from http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/create-project/ to http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/create , kbyethx.
