I wouldn't use this as you do not list what version the mod is for without needing to click on it making it very annoying to use compared to most other MC mod databases out there. Simple stuff guys..

This has been fixed. The listing page has the version on it now!

Adding a version filter is not a has hard as your thinking it would be man you can even do that type of thing using a simple greasemonkey script. Though after my doctors appointment I will look into just sorting but date...that might make the site useable at least lol.

We now have a filter setting for versions.

Thanks for the reply but can you blame people for confusing the two? It looks like even you confuse the two...
"CurseForge Hits 500 Mods!"

Sorry about that! I wrote the article but the title I submitted said "Curse.com Reaches 500 Mods!". I didn't even notice that it was changed when Sacheverell posted it. XD
BTW, you can sort the mod database by date, there's a drop down menu for sorting and you can sort by "Recently Update" or "Newest" which are both by date. You can also sort them by "Monthly downloads" and "Total downloads".
I understand this isn't exactly what you are looking for but we are in the process of redesigning the entirety of Curse.com, which I've said to much of now. We'll be working on making it more user-friendly and I'm sure this is one thing we'll implement. Soon™.

Yes I do see it but only when i click on it from the list first.http://www.curse.com/mc-mods/minecraft It should tell you what the latest version it is for there without having to click each individual mod on the list first. That is what I mean and that is what many other databases do already. Yes it doesn't make much difference now as most are for 1.6.4 but when the 1.7 mods start dropping, you will have to click on each individual one just to see what version it is for and I can see that being a major pain.

Why not just list it with the other info like..

Like I said to the poster above, I'm sorry this missing information isn't in our system yet. Like I said above, we're working on a redesign and it's things like this that we need to know to make it better. Thanks!

500? For me it said it found 1001 mods? How can you be that far off?

I never use the curse site or the curseforge site because its is just plan silly that you have to look at mods for all the different versions without the option to pick what version you are looking for.

For example lets say I am looking for mods for 1.5.2 so I go to the curseforge site and right now there are 1001 mods but the top 10 mods there only 1 has a version that is for 1.5.2. Curse is a better setup then using a forums for mods but with out the option to filter by version number this its pointless still.You know it would only less then one hour to add a filter to the site and make it usefull.


You did not understand what he was saying but this pic will help. Where in this photo does it tell me what version it is for?

You are confusing Curse.com and CurseForge.com. Curse.com is where users are supposed to go to find released and beta mods. So, while CurseForge may have 1001 projects, half of those are in alpha stage, don't even have files yet, and/or are experimental, while Curse.com finally reached 500, roughly 506 now. If you read the article, we explained how Curse.com and CurseForge.com are different and we're trying to educate the public about those differences.

Curse.com = Download Released and Beta mods. Where USERS should download them.
CurseForge.com = Project hosting site for AUTHORS to upload mods.

As for filtering by the version the mod supports, it's tougher than you think. Most mods stay up-to-date with Forge, and mod authors are continuously updating from version to version. If there is a mod that you like, I suggesting taking the extra click or two to see the "Other downloads" tab on Curse.com. It'll list every version of that mod and if it's a popular mod it's bound to have the version you are looking for.

Would you have it sort it by the latest updated version? That's seems like a feasible sorting method, but if you want to sort them just by version compatibility, that's when it gets tougher due to most mods supporting many different versions from before.

Like I said earlier, most mods try to stay up-to-date with Forge, and it seems the majority of users want it this way too, and as a result, Forge has continually kept up-to-date with Minecraft.(except recently with 1.7, as it changed so much they are really behind)

You can't format BBCode differently, it doesn't work that way.

[MOD]varnished-blocks-mod[/MOD]

Please use only unformatted text for BBCode. Use the little eraser button to erase formatting and it should work.

buut... how can i upload my mod in the curseforge?

Could you elaborate a bit more? What exactly isn't working? Go here: http://minecraft.cur...ge.com/mc-mods/ and click "Create new mod" and fill in the appropriate information and you'll have your mod hosted on CurseForge. Thanks!

You do see that the download button lists the version it's for right?
Tells you right above the download link.

I'd love to see a Terraria mash-up pack. Imagine having rocket boots, flame-throwers, sniper rifles, and of course, every color of slime imaginable.

Quote from cup of water

Am I allowed to say I feel like the MC forum has treated me (A modder) like a load of crap? I Think The Title should say "Thanks to all of those who have made a huge mod that got into a popular modpack!" Because I always feel like I work really really hard just to have my work shoved down to the bottom of the forum and the only replies I get are the occasional noob asking something stupid or telling me something in the OP doesn't work. And then If I (or another modder) wanted to save myself(Themselves) the time doing it by just quitting the same 3 noobs who talk to themselves on the forum post would whine and cry and pull off some horrible guilt trick to make you feel like a criminal. It just feels all the "Big" mods fill the forum and all the other hard working modders don't get credit from the community.

Well, that's what the Minecraft Mod section on Curse.com/CurseForge are trying to fix. You see, when you create a project for a mod on CF, you get to select up to 5 categories. Then when users want to find specific mods, or mods of a certain kind, they can go to Curse.com, click on Minecraft mods, then you can search for mods, show them by category, show them by the newly updated, or just the newest released mods. It's about creating a database that users can go to, to find mods easier. And with our Forge section, it makes it even easier for users to install mods that are Forge compatible.

I hope that explains it a bit better. I'm sorry the forums haven't been that good for you.

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?

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!

I'm looking into these as I type, I'll try and get answers soon™.

Quote from SDDJ

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.

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/

It takes a long time for my updates to get approved. That's pretty annoying. Other than that, I love it.

Sorry! I'm the only one that approves them and I try not too work much on the weekends(I try and get away from my computer, if you can understand that ). Saturdays and Sundays I try and go through the list at least twice, once in the morning and once at night. But during the week I should be there checking them about once an hour from 9-5 central.

I'm not sure about this, I mean good modders already earn money from adfly.
So if there's not more money to earn from this,i guess there will only be small mods/trash

Don't forget that we build databases at CurseForge. Then on Curse.com you can filter and search for mods much, much easier. It's not always about money, making it easier for users to find mods is our priority. We just happen to reward mod authors for their hard work with our Author Rewards Program. But you are probably right in some ways. The big mods may not want to use our system because they may earn more money though Adfly. Though, nothing is stopping them from using our site as an alternative hosting platform, we do have nice tools to keep track of your change log and we implement well with dev sites like GitHub for pushing out updates and revisions.

Also, a big thanks to the 70 or so mods I approved today. We went from a database of about 50 Forge mods to over 120, in less than 12 hours to boot! So, THANKS!!!

Quote from peemtin123

they wernt look at the minecraft wiki type in mods in a yellow box it says Mojand and 4j studios do NOT support mods

I believe charsmud was saying that he though mods were already supported on Curse.com/CurseForge/dev.Bukkit.org. But you are right, Mojang hasn't officially supported mods yet. They have plans to support them someday though.

Quote from sheenrox82

Too bad it's really buggy and I can't upload a file for my project.

I replied to your conversation on CurseForge. You had one file approved and then it looks like you deleted it. Now even though you deleted it, you can't upload the exact same file again. It's a safeguard we have in place so authors don't abuse the "Recently Updated" list by deleting current versions and then uploading the same version to make it look as if it was just updated.

You need to rename part of the file, an extra space somewhere will do, and then repackage the zip. It will then not be marked as a duplicate and I can approve it for you.

Cheers!

Quote from charsmud

Aren't they also on curse.com... this seems slightly redundant. Is this replacing Curse.com's mod section or an addition?

The mods on Curse.com come from CurseForge. When you create a project on CurseForge and it's set as released, it'll syndicate to Curse.com. Without CurseForge there wouldn't be any databases on Curse.com, they work in tandem.
