Modget is a package manager for minecraft curseforge mods. It provides commands for searching, managing, and querying information about mods. Currently it is unreleased and in an early development state. The below commands are slowly being implemented.

modget requires the following build dependencies:

• golang >= 1.13
• scdoc
• make

1. git clone https://git.sr.ht/~kota/modget
2. make all
3. sudo make install

1. sudo make uninstall

• [a]dd mod...

  • Download and install a mod based on its MODID or Slug.

• help [command]

  • Print help about a command and exit.

• [m]ark [mod]...

  • Change the update status of a mod.

• [s]earch string...

  • Search curseforge for mods based on search terms. Prints mod names, MODID, Version, and a short description.

  • Check each installed mod (in selected directory or current directory) and prompt to install any new mods.

Every mod on curseforge has a short name called a slug which is found in the URL for the mod's page. For example in this url https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/appleskin the slug is appleskin. The modget commands will attempt to convert slugs to MODIDs which makes managing your mods much easier. Internally everything uses MODID. Currently this feature is broken for the majority of curseforge mods.

Every mod on curseforge has a 6 digit MODID which can be found on the mods page or by using modget's search command. This is used instead of names when installing and removing mods as that is what is supported by the curseforge API.

Modget uses a public mailing list for contributions and discussion. You can browse the list here and email patches or questions to ~kota/[email protected].
