About Modrinth App
Modrinth App manages Minecraft instances the way Prism Launcher does, but with the Modrinth catalogue built into the window. You browse mods, plugins, datapacks, shaders, resource packs and modpacks, and install them into an instance without opening a browser.
It is written in Rust with a Tauri interface rather than Electron, so it is noticeably smaller and lighter than most launchers. The trade-off is a younger codebase and a catalogue that covers Modrinth but not CurseForge.
Strengths
- Modrinth's catalogue of mods, shaders and modpacks built into the launcher
- Rust and Tauri rather than Electron, so it is small and quick to start
- Instances stay separate, like other modern launchers
- Windows, macOS Universal and Linux AppImage, DEB and RPM
Limitations
- Catalogue is Modrinth only; CurseForge packs need importing by hand
- Younger than Prism Launcher, and less proven with awkward packs
- You still need a paid Minecraft account
- Licensing varies by package inside the monorepo

Alternatives to Modrinth App
Compare allSoftware that can replace Modrinth App for an important use case, and what changes if you switch.
Prism Launcher
A Minecraft launcher that keeps every modpack in its own instance so one update cannot break the others.
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.
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.
