Replacements

Listings that take over the same core job as Modrinth App.

  • Prism Launcher

    A Minecraft launcher that keeps every modpack in its own instance so one update cannot break the others.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinux

    Prism Launcher installs mods and modpacks from both Modrinth and CurseForge, handles multiple Minecraft accounts, and is more proven with awkward packs, under GPL-3.0.

  • ATLauncher

    A Minecraft launcher that browses, installs and manages modpacks and separate game instances.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinux

    ATLauncher browses and installs modpacks from several sources and manages Java versions per pack, but it is Java-based and less suited to building packs by hand.

  • GDLauncher

    A free Minecraft launcher that installs mods and modpacks from CurseForge and Modrinth with one click.

    FreeProprietaryWindowsmacOSLinux

    GDLauncher installs from both CurseForge and Modrinth with one click and shares instances by code, but it is not open source under a stated license.

  • MultiMC

    An alternative Minecraft launcher for managing multiple cleanly separated instances with their own mods and saves.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinux

    MultiMC offers isolated instances with fine Java control and detailed logs, but has no built-in Modrinth catalogue and recent releases are infrequent.

  • CurseForge

    A mod platform with a desktop app for finding and installing mods and modpacks for many games.

    FreeProprietaryWindowsmacOSLinux

    CurseForge swaps the Modrinth catalogue for its own large closed-source mod catalogue and covers many games beyond Minecraft in one desktop app.

    FreemiumProprietaryWindowsmacOSLinux

    Minecraft Launcher is the official closed-source launcher that runs Java and Bedrock editions and snapshots, but it has no built-in mod or modpack installation.
