Hello, I'd like to inform everyone of some changes coming to our Discord and how support will be handled from now on in said Discord(s). This was also announced at the authors meeting for those of you who have seen it.

Since the announcement of the Overwolf purchase of CF about a year ago, we have seen an astonishing growth of users. We went from a measly ~20K members to todays ~131K members.

While this still is only a small slice of the entire CF community it's an absolute ton of people with lots of problems to manage. Sadly due to this massive pile of people many of the issues that developers have on the platform get lost in the sea of issues. We attempted to rectify this by providing a separated space within the discord for Verified devs but it wasn't widely used. Quickly we found out many Creators avoided the discord on purpose for various reasons. Thus it was decided to split the discords into two.

Starting today (like as of right now) the primary CurseForge Discord (the one you are receiving this message from) will be targeted at the general community as a whole only. Creators are still welcome to come here and ask questions but it would be preferred for them to join the new dev discord for the fastest and best support possible. It will also feature targeted news important to creators vs all news like currently done here.

Though, be warned! This new dev discord comes with much stricter rules and is specifically NOT for game support. If you join this discord expecting to find out why Bob's Ultimate mod doesn't work and you aren't Bob, you will be removed.

TL:DR
New discord designed for creators only
New discord not for general game support
Stricter rules in said discord

Sorry everyone looking forward to using Minecraft 1.18 with mods on the app. Due to multiple unforeseen issues it has been temporarily pulled from the launcher.

Even if you did or still make a profile before these fixes are done they will not launch.

Also the app wasn't showing content in the get more content list as it should have been.

Please be patient with this it will be fixed as quickly as possible. Perhaps now is a good time to try out the new features in vanilla first! News will be posted when everything is fixed.

Minecraft 1.18 is hot, hot, hot!

The issues with 1.18 in CurseForge App have been fixed on Windows! Mac users expect a fix within the next 24 hours!

Windows V.0.187.2.1

The ability to install mods in the client from the site buttons is being rolled out soon! You will have the ability to go to a mod page and click the Install button that will open the app and prompt you to make a new profile with that mod.
It currently can't add mods to existing profiles but this feature will be coming too!

WoW changes:

  • Switching flavors of the game while the undo message appears will reduce the number of visible add-ons to one. (?)
  • Addons will not sync anymore if you are logged out.
  • Fixed cases where Create new Sync Profile was shown when there was existing profiles.
  • You can now click the sync button when there's no addons installed.
  • The input field for new sync profiles isn't cut off anymore.

Minecraft Changes:

  • Sort by label no longer will fall off the face off the app when the window is too small. (Déjà vu?)
  • When installing Minecraft you will always be able to got back to the default folder. They promise it this time, We will hold them to it.
  • If you select a root drive for the modding folder a default CurseForge folder will be created instead of showing an error. (It's about time geez...)

After post edit:
If you are still getting could not create JVM errors after the update DELETE YOUR JVM ARGUMENTS IN THE CF APP SETTINGS FOR MINECRAFT!

The CurseForge team has been working stupid fast and has updated Mac to version 187.2.0

This fixes the 1.18 issues and brings it up to speed with the windows app changes that came out yesterday!

Hey! This is URGENT MULTIPLAYER MINECRAFT news post that is slightly behind but this was due to lots of work going on in the background from all over the place trying to figure out what's going on exactly.

Lets start this off easy, If you have not restarted the Mojang launcher within the last ~3 hours close Minecraft and restart it now! ALSO, follow the instructions below and TURN OFF Forge Debug Logging inside the CurseForge app!

How to disable Forge Debug Logging:

  1. Click CFsettings in the bottom left to open the CurseForge settings.
  2. Click grassMinecraft.
  3. Scroll down to the Forge Debug Logging and make sure it is CFinactive (off).

Now, as to why this is important.

Today an exploit was found within the one of the libraries Minecraft uses and this exploit allows anyone to run code from anywhere on your client or server via chat messages.

Mojang developer slicedlime has announced on Twitter that players should not play versions older than 1.12 and confirms that only 1.17+ CLIENTS are fixed

With the testing I and a few others have done we couldn't reproduce the problem on CURSEFORGE profiles EXCEPT for 1.7.10 with the Mojang fixes. Please be aware that they still can have issues and this requires you to follow the steps at the top of the post. THIS IS NOT CONFIRMING IT IS SAFE BELOW 1.17! NOR ARE SERVERS BELOW 1.17 SAFE WITHOUT OTHER FIXES

As for servers if you are using 1.17+ you can add -Dlog4j2.formatMsgNoLookups=true to the JVM args to fix it. THIS DOES NOT WORK FOR ANY OTHER VERSIONS

Fabric 0.12.9 automatically applies the above fix for 1.17+ only. Another fix may come soon for other versions.

Forge as of writing has yet to release an update. Server owners add the JVM argument above to 1.17+ servers ASAP!

Big thanks to all the devs that helped collect data for this message in the CF Dev discord.

Minecraft users!

If you have not been aware of what's going on over the last 24hrs please refer to the last message for an in-depth explanation. This is only a follow up.

All affected vanilla versions via the Vanilla launcher have been fixed. All you need to do is exit the vanilla launcher and launch the game again.
https://twitter.com/slicedlime/status/1469277537490677766

If you are using CurseForge you also need to turn off Forge Debug Logging following these steps!

  1. Click CFsettings in the bottom left to open the CurseForge settings.
  2. Click grassMinecraft.
  3. Scroll down to the Forge Debug Logging and make sure it is CFinactive (off).

Once this is done, your client will be safe from the vulnerability but any servers you run/manage/own/work on/play on will need to update their files on their own.

Please continue to watch the spaces the modloader or server wrapper you use posts news to stay updated on the issue as everything CurseForge handles is done with. Thus no more news will be posted here unless it's felt to be urgent.

Again, Thanks to all of the developers working their ass off to get these fixes out and keep people informed.

slicedlime (@slicedlime)

We've now released patches for all affected clients. If you have any running game instances, close them, close the Launcher and restart again (yes, even if you did it before - do it again now).

To sum up the recent security issues in a more easy to understand manner, here is who may be effected.

If you play on Singleplayer only:
There is no threat.

  • (Unless you use some kind of chat bot! (Do people do this in single player?))
    If you have your game open to LAN, or using hamachi or other LAN connections to play with friends, see below!

If you play on Multiplayer:
Mojang released a patch to protect vanilla clients. This indirectly applies to Fabric as well, but not Forge.
If you play using the Curseforge app, you are safe UNLESS you have enabled the Forge debugging option in the Curseforge settings. Make sure this is NOT ENABLED!

CFsettings then grass Minecraft then see the option Enable Forge debug.log. The slider should be GREY CFinactive not ORANGE CFactive .

Forge:
Forge clients (those who have installed Forge alone, NOT with the Curseforge app) and all servers are still vulnerable unless they are using the following versions(or higher):

  • 1.18-38.0.17
  • 1.17.1-37.1.1
  • 1.16.5-36.2.20
  • 1.15.2-31.2.56
  • 1.14.4-28.2.25
  • 1.13.2-25.0.222
  • 1.12.2-14.23.5.2857

Fabric:
Fabric clients are protected by the vanilla patch mentioned above, however Fabric servers are still vulnerable unless using the version(s) listed below:

Fabric Loader 0.12.12 or Higher must be used!

<@&784306980574986263>
The updated Forge versions are now available for use on CurseForge. If you do not see them in the list, please restart the CurseForge client.

Anyone who had Failed to get modloader from manifest errors should try again to install the affected modpack. Restart the CurseForge app if it still happens.

As a reminder, please refer to the previous post if you are concerned about the recent Minecraft security issues.

While this is mostly dev related some users may find it nice to know that CurseForge now supports Ko-fi and GitHub Sponsors as options for the Donate button on each project page!

So make sure to check out that button and support the great people that make all the fun stuff on the platform!

Hey, Quick PSA due to the influx of DM spam reports...

If you don't want Spam DM's disable your DM's for this server. We can't do anything about them continually making accounts to come here and spam people. You need to disable your DM's.

Banning these accounts does nothing as by the time you report them they have been used, tossed/left the server and another account prepared. Report them via the DM to discord and they will get nuked.

Again, DISABLE YOUR DM'S IN THIS SERVER TO STOP THEM there's nothing we can do about it. This is just part of being a large server and discords poor support of communities of this size. We have all of the protections maxed out.

Windows Version 0.189.1.5

Hello, new version, new fixes, new tools!
Minecraft Changes

  • You can now install mods from the site via the app install button! You will be prompted in the app to pick a place for the mod to be installed to when doing so!
  • Fabric API will now be editable when installing incompatible versions by mistake.
  • Installing another version of an already installed modpack will actually install the pack correctly instead of letting you down.
  • I 'm quoting this one. The CSS guy was like: "plax fix da width of da modpak verzion tab when windo width is smol", So we did just that.

General Changes

  • Navigating to settings and back while installing several bits of content will no longer reset the addon installer state.
  • Different game flavors will no longer be obsessive over the number two being at the end of the name.
  • Deleting content and then relaunching CurseForge will no longer result in a trip to the grave yard to collect the things you laid to rest there. They can finally RIP in peace.
  • Random network errors when downloading content are hopefully a thing of the past!
  • Fixed a dependencies that likes to become corrupted just because it can. This should fix lots of cases of "Oops, I did it again something went wrong" Errors.

And just for fun...

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I think I did it again
I made you believe we're ready to play
Oh baby
It might seem like a crash
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'cause to lose all my profiles
That isn't so typically me
Oh baby, baby

Oops, I did it again,
I played with my files, got lost in the text
Oh baby, baby
Oops, something went wrong
Maybe I was sent an update
I'm not really that sure!
"
(Yes this is a terrible joke, You are now stuck with it because the idea was stuck in my head....)

Oh no the end! (of 2021)
I just wanted to write up a small (yeah right, small? Me? pffft....) "Year in Review" for everyone.

It's been just over a year (+ a bit) now with Overwolf in full control of everything for CurseForge. We have all seen the pains of new management and the perks of having active development again. 2021 was the most active CF has been development wise for many, many years. It reminds me of the early days of MC modding on the platform when we all used CurseVoice for mod management.

While not everything has gone exactly to plan and some people voiced concerns about the changes that came and keep coming. If anything the last ~year shows Overwolf is trying to please everyone as much as possible while keeping CF from the doom of being a money pit for eternity. Lots of very long standing bugs within the app have been fixed and continue to be fixed, Better support for multiple game types has come and continues to be improved on, more games have found a home here on CurseForge and lots of new faces have shown up to work on it all.

2021 was a pivotal point for the the platform as a whole, mostly on the App side, but hopefully 2022 will bring us some of those well needed site changes too.

The community surrounding the CF space has also changed a fair bit over the last year.
It's been great to see everyone get more involved with the platform as a whole and to see the people that use CF using the resources provided to them. Huge thanks to the Community team here in the CF discord. @icy snow @south vine @ornate elk @balmy meadow @valid ginkgo @boreal jacinth + our two newest helpers @robust flint & @cerulean rampart
Without these people this place wouldn't be the mostly great place it is!

Also thanks to all of the random users that come through and provide support inside and outside of our discord. 🧡

Here's to a great 2022 for the CF Community, Authors and Overwolf Devs
🎊
🥳

More year, More new, More fast.

Windows Version 0.190.1.5

General Changes

  • CurseForge has subscribed to the zoomies and now will launch faster than ever before.
  • Checking out that sick content now feels faster than something fast!
  • CurseForge app liked talking to the server so much that sometimes it would request the same thing multiple times. The app has been told to shut.
  • Changing "Check for Updates" no longer requires you to reload the app.
  • Using project ID's to search will correctly show the right results when done so twice in a row.

Minecraft Changes

  • Modpack JSON's have been fed to the readability shredder and now are minified.
  • Attempting to peruse through the "Browse modpack" tab will no longer flicker the packs you have installed already as if they are not installed.
  • White space at the end of the "addition arguments" setting will no longer crash the game at launch.

CurseForge Version 0.190.2.1
This is a fix just for Minecraft!
Importing a fabric profile would show as if the Fabric API Mod is installed but actually it wouldn't be. This version comes to fix it. Also, you could toggle this mod on and off, well now you can't.

If you are having this issue, restart the client! If you don't get the update you should soon as it's being rolled out to everyone slowly like usual!

<@&784306980574986263>

Hey all, Just a heads up that Minecraft is suffering from issues when updating/changing versions due to it downloading duplicate mod files and importing/exporting these profiles will cause issues.

A hotfix is in the works and should be released soon. Please refrain from changing any versions of your installed mods until this hotfix is fully applied as you will get loading errors!

Currently, CurseForge is experiencing network issues related to releasing a patch (0.190.3.1). These should clear up after some time, but no ETA is possible. Once the issues are cleared up an update will be posted here.

Any issues you have are most likely related to this

Try back in a few hours.

Edit: The app is installing mods & modpacks now, but is still very slow.

#

<@&784306980574986263>

The hotfix was fully deployed to be met with stability issues, all of the issues seem to have subsided and things are back to normal.

Windows users should check that you are on 0.190.3.1 before updating any mods in minecraft.

You can do this by clicking the CFsettings in the bottom left of the client. There will be a version number listed in the same corner.

If it does not match restart or reinstall the CF app to get the fix for the duplicate mod files issue!

Now New News Numbered Neatly!

What it contains:
1 News
2 Words
3 and everyone's favorite, IMAGES
Oh and it contains some other stuff to that's less important....
4 Paypal, why you hate us
5 Point drops (Sorry bass lovers, the build up was for nothing)
6 Project Moderation
7 API Updates

Paypal
December was an exceptional month for authors and their money flowing. A whopping ~220K USD was ordered in a single month making it the highest amount cashed out in all time! Due to how money and laws work, Paypal cast Ice Barrage on the CF account and it delayed things more. Once everything was cleared payments continued to roll out after. New options are now being considered to give a better options.

Point drop
This was discussed in the last Authors call but it's always good to recap.
Points are expected to drop at the start of the year as advertising budgets recover from the holidays and companies plan for the new year. They will continue to grow over time again in this cycle of growing and falling.

Project Moderation
Recently there was lots of unhappy people going on about one of the reject messages that got changed to cover the rules more accurately. This caused many people to question what was going on and get worried about their projects. Moderation messages will be updated to make them more clear, but it needs to be made clear that using unique & recognizable naming for the creations you make are preferred.

It is understood that due to some of the limitations of the site that this isn't entirely realizable at the current time but these areas will be improved over time.

API Updates
Things are slowly falling into place with the new API with more than 100 programs being submitted thus far! February will still see the end of the old API. If you are an API user, expect emails following up with your request!

LINUX SOON™️
Yes™️

CurseForge Windows Version 0.191.1.5

More bug squashing!

Minecraft

  • Modpack timeouts have been increased from 6 to 20 minutes. Hopefully for real this time, it's only the 3rd or 4th attempt! Slow internet users should see less timeouts due to this.
  • Installing a mod with a snapshot version of Minecraft from the website will not lock the option to actually install it.
  • Installing the Fabric API without any other mods will no longer crash MC.

All other games but not Minecraft

  • Addon refresh notification has been added to the refresh button to let you know when you need to refresh to get the updates for your content. Click it, then update your files.
  • Addons being installed will no longer change their state if you change the game flavor.

** General**

  • "Create logs.zip" button has been added to the "Oops, I crashed again Something went wrong" screen so you can easily send support your logs. Another option to create this zip file of wonders can be found in the CFsupport menu on the left sidebar of the app.

Hello Curse'ed Forgers,

The CurseForge team would like you to know that they are aware of some issues involving exporting modpacks where the export will take an excessive amount of time to complete, or it will fail to export some mods causing them to end up in the overrides folder. This issue is currently being worked on and a fix will be coming as soon as possible.

Hey there CurseForgers! (Yes, this is still a thing)

Currently, we're seeing reports from people that they are unable to download addons, mods and modpacks through CurseForge (doesn't work on the website or in the app).
We have a temporary solution, until we can figure out why this is happening!

Users who are affected by this (You can check if you can download the mods from the CurseForge website, if you can, it's another problem), need to edit their hosts-file.
Windows users can find this file at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (Need to edit the file with Notepad as an administrator)
MacOS users can find this file at /etc/hosts (Probably need to be an admin to edit the file)

You need to add an entry, exactly like this, on a new line 13.225.250.85 media.forgecdn.net
Save the file and reboot your computer.

Now you should be able to download mods again! And we'll post again when you should be able to remove this temporary fix!
Please also post your logs (Get instructions by posting ?owlogs in #🟢︱user-bot-spam), so that we can help figure out what's wrong more quickly!

It's bean awhile from our last update...
You could say this news is refried...
So crack open a cold one and kick back with the boys for this news!

Update on CF version news
In the past the news posts have been written within a day of the initial release of a new version to the first ~10% of people as they are rolled out over time.
This is changing as it was too confusing when people saw the news and didn't get the update for a few days. Update news will only be announced when 75% or more of users have the new version.

CurseForge Windows 0.192.1.5

General

  • CurseForge now supports 26 languages! Change it to your favorite flavour of communication via the App Settings!
  • Consecutive searches will now work as they should.

Minecraft

  • Resource Packs and Maps have gotten an upgrade! You can now install these from the site just like their mod freind via the install button!
  • Sick of needing to export and import profiles to move them around in your device? No more will this be the case! You can now move an entire profile folder to that new location you prefer without issues!
  • 1.18 Fabric packs will now import as they should. You know, because that's something important to do.
  • Sick and tired of exports being full of overrides when they shouldn't be?!? For seven easy payments of 0.00$ you too can own an exporter that works! Quick run to your nearest PC to close and restart CurseForge to get this fantastic feature!

CurseForge Mac 0.192.2.0

Welcome to the future Mac, You have been upgraded to the latest and greatest to bring you up to speed with the Windows client!

In other news...
There's some cool stuff coming!

Why are they called Newsletter? There's lots of letters in there... not a single page of F.

Welcome to a February Newsletter!
In these words we have the following info!

  • API update! - Yes, things are still going forward but at a slightly slower pace.
  • Linux support update! - It ties into the API stuff but I'm separating it.
  • Many letters about API using mod managers! - Hello, Nice to meet you. Don't throw rocks.
  • Features that have came or are waiting! - Vanilla profiles anyone?

API
Lots of devs have reached out to get API keys and with them came lots of feedback. So with this the documentation for the API has been getting updated with this feedback! If you find anything that should be looked at send an Email: API@Curseforge.com!

Endpoints are also slowly getting upgraded to be more useful as the CF app is starting to transition to using the new API. Due to this the old API Deprecation has been pushed back to April!

Linux
The Linux client will be entering it's first stages of release here soon starting with only WoW support along with the 9.2 patch. The rest of the games CF app supports will follow shortly after. The app looks nearly identical to the Windows app and will be following the same release schedule as the Mac version where updates are more spaced out.

API Mod Managers
There was recently a bit of turbulent waters within the community when a request for API access was denied. Read the newsletter for more info.

Features
Everyone loves features!
If hearing it through the grape vine isn't enough for you. Vanilla profiles! Site projects will not be getting support for these at the current time but you can still export and share these like normal.

Deep links have appeared for all supported project types! If the App can manage it, you can install it from the site via the [Install] buttons found on them!

Another day, another changelog. This one is mighty plain if you ask me.

Windows Version 0.193.1.8 re-released as 0.193.2.1
There was an issue with the first release, thus a new version was assigned to this update after a critical hotfix was applied.

Minecraft Changes

  • Vanilla profiles! Sick of needing a modloader installed just to play on a vanilla server and have CF manage your vanilla supported content? No more will you need to use another launcher! Make one today with the Create Custom Profile option and have fun!
  • Resource packs are now by default included when exporting modpacks.

Not Minecraft Changes

  • Addon refreshing now knows that the past is the past and we are currently in today. (It no longer thinks the last refresh was forever ago)

People Changes
The lead design person, AnyaCartoon, hasn't been feeling the best due to covid. Get better soon Anya!

We have an exciting announcement - Tebex is joining Overwolf.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Tebex.io, they provide a solution for creators and studios to make a living running game servers. If you’ve played on Minecraft, Ark, Rust, Garry’s Mod, FiveM, or other private servers, you may have already run into them.

We strongly believe that working together we can enable authors and creators to grow and create new experiences that will make gaming greater than ever before.

You can read the full details here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/mattgardner1/2022/03/15/from-20-to-29-million-game-server-monetization-sensation-tebex-acquired-by-overwolf/?sh=7d97c36997c7

Another QOL update with some squashing of smol bugs.

Windows Version 0.194.1.6 Currently rolled out to 60% of users.

Minecraft Changes

  • Exporting profiles will now open the folder and select/highlight the file you just willed into existence!
  • Learning is difficult when the information isn't there to be learned in the first place! The vanilla profile option has gained it's information back when creating new profiles.
  • Changing modloader versions for profiles will cease to attempt to do the work while you are still noodling around in the profile settings. Once you click "Done", the over eager updater will then be allowed to change the mod loader version for that profile. It just wanted to keep you happy 😢

Non-Minecraft Changes

  • 🔴 Is no longer around to tell you something needs to be updated, I think you get the picture.
  • Some cases where stuff needed updates but was all like "nawh, we good", they got a swift kick in the pants to make sure you know to update them.

People changes
AnyaCatoon, the lead design person, is feeling much better! (Did anyone send an E-Card..? ..... What do you mean it's 2022? ...... Those should have never been a thing? ..... Oh, uh.. Alright.) Thanks for sharing those get well wishes everyone!

WE AIN'T STOPPIN YET!

Mac Version 0.194.1.1

This should bring all you 🍏 users up to speed with the latest and greatest changes the Windows users have! (Including the above!)

CurseForge Windows updates!

Version 0.195.1.10

A small bit about April 1st that nobody cares about anymore. Hahah funni, layers, hehehe

Linux version is still in the works! Some say it's closer than one may think!

Minecraft changes:

  • Modpack/Profile import errors are more clear! Someone clearly disabled the rain.
  • Installing things from the site into vanilla profiles showed the wrong image. It now shows the correct one.
  • Fixed an issue where some modloaders that should have never been shown for content was shown as an option when installing from the site.
  • Installing mods from the site will now always pick the correct modloader for the thing you are installing, ain't that just neat?
  • You can once again search for a modpack by it's ID.

Not Minecraft:

  • Opening the CF settings from the tray while CF is in fullscreen will not make it smol again.
  • Some CSS fixes. (Poor CSS guy... Is this what you have been reduced to?)

Version 0.195.2.1

This is a hotfix version for the above to fix an issue with some search stuff.

Hello! This is a notice to all Tmobile customers!

Currently Tmobile has decided to block some of the CurseForge CDN on their network so your ability to use things like the app or parts of the site will be impacted!

The blocked URLs are all part of the forgecdn.net specifically the media.forgecdn.net and edge.forgecdn.net sub-domains.

If you are affected by this issue you should reach out to Tmobile to unblock these domains as continuing to keep them blocked will limit your ability to use CurseForge.

Update post to let everyone know that the CurseForge team is still working hard at finding a solution. They have tried a few different things but issues are still ongoing. As soon as there are new developments we will post here again.

Please continue to discuss the situation in the thread above if you wish. We know you are upset over this, but the server's rules still apply there and moderation will be taking place as needed.

The CurseForge team thanks you for your patience and understanding.

Everything should be back to normal. Restart your client if you are still getting any errors when trying to use it.

Whatever rumors you saw about this were likely untrue, no this wasn't expected, nor was it outside of CF's hands. There was some issues with some backend changes gearing up for the deprecation of the old API coming in a few days.

Our discord will be retuning back to normal with this announcement also in-case you where wondering why it seems like there was nothing in it anymore. This was done to stop the mass spam of thousands of users.

Thanks for hanging with us on this issue. If you continue to have issues as things level out please reach out to us in the support rooms.

News Letter! In this news you will find this information:

  • Bye Gilgamesh 😢
  • Old API & End
  • Website Issues & Plans
  • Upcoming Things
  • MCreator Modjam results

Goodbye Gil
For those of you who don't know, Gilgamesh was the CF Lead. He also doubled as the Community Manager and handled everything community up till he left at the end of March. He was a great person to work with, made sure the community knew what was going on and for everyone inside to know how the community felt. Good luck with where the future takes you Gil! Thanks for everything you did! ❤️

Moran has currently taken over the position with a new Community Manager role opening up that will be filled at a later date

Old API
The old API has it's final date picked and hopefully for good this time!
May 9th all accesses to the old API will cease to exist. The delay was due to the work getting all the CF app's switched and some Holidays thrown in slowing things down

Website Issues & Plans
I think most people are aware of the issues on weekends at this point due to the increased traffic and old tech running it all. (Especially after yesterday...) The new site will be coming slowly in parts over the coming months. Look forward to the following!

  • New Search
  • Better Discoverability
  • Improved Navigation
  • Community News & Updates (they're taking me jerb!)
    The current site will continue to stay as is while the new site is built alongside of it so that there will be minimal impact. When done the old one will poof away.

Upcoming Stuff
RAPID FIRE!

  • Linux client is in early alpha, Hoping for a full alpha sometime during May! Supports WoW only at first.
  • Authors portal, Getting a makeover for future improvements!
  • More Community Highlights in other places!

MCreator Modjam
It was a great modjam with lots of cool stuff! Check out the wining projects!

"Missing file for mod"
"Failed to install modpack"
"Operation failed"
"An unexpected error has occurred"
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
"An exception occurred during a WebClient request"

The CurseForge team is aware of this and working on a solution!

Hello one, Hello all
I have a large news haul
It consists of mostly small
But it's important in all

Read on if you wish
For learning about this one switch
But perhaps this
is not your bliss

So instead check out this
Embeds that went amiss
Now once again exist (sorta)

API Changeover delay!
Monday May 16th is the new deadline because of some bugs that cropped up causing everything to die recently

Linux Alpha
Linux alpha is out! WoW players can try out the new Linux client that was released! Sorry MC players, but you will need to wait for now

CurseForge Embeds
Ever wonder why CurseForge doesn't embed anything when you link it in Discord? Yeah, me too. Thus the CF Community team stepped in to bring these back and offer a temporary fix. Replacing curseforge with cflookup in the main project or file URL's will place embeds!

This is just part of what we hope to offer from our community group to users of the platform! We plan on collecting community made services, tools and whatever in one place for users to find what they need in the near future too!

Windows V 0.196.1.11

General

  • CPU and RAM use has dropped drastically when browsing content
  • More improved error messages
  • CSS fixes + other weby things
  • Installing from the site got a bunch of fixes

Minecraft

  • Loading bars now exist for installing content from the site
  • Navigation between Browse Modpacks and Installed Modpacks will show Play correctly
  • Manually removing a mod shows the correct # of mods now
  • Fixed UI crash when MC version failed to be gotten
  • Deleting mods doesn't delete dependencies anymore
  • Profile Options has stopped installing modloaders every time Done is clicked
  • Downloading server packs from the Versions tab is possible again

Other Stuff

  • WoW - Installing addons from the version tab doesn't make others want to join the party
  • WoT - Play in World of Tanks works correctly again

Today we’re bringing you some big news.

We’ve launched our new API and are deprecating the legacy API from the twitch days.

The last big announcement is something many of you have requested for a long time. We’ve launched a standalone windows client for CurseForge that does not require the Overwolf platform to install.

App Updates & API stuff

Windows V 0.198.1.7

  • Stardew Valley detection has been improved! Now instead of it sitting there like a big dummy, it will find the game and politely ask you to install SMAPI so you can install and use mods.
  • Reduced cases where bad requests would make the app fail to load at launch time.
  • Maximize works as expected again when the app was previously hidden.
  • Network errors are more informative! Because information is the best drug!
  • Create Logs Zip button on the oops pages had the oops removed from them so they now work when you need to provide those juicy details.
  • Fixed a bug when canceling creation of custom profiles wouldn't work correctly, Twitter users rejoice!

Mac V 0.198.1.28
Welcome to the future Mac users! You are now using the latest and greatest. Well, almost.

API Stuff
With the change in API there's been a massive mess created because of it. Lets go over some stuff that has been spreading around incorrectly quick.

  • Modpack Zips with mods were removed from the site!
    = They have not been removed or changed. CF has always used the modless pack format on the site.

  • The old API was fine there was no need to change it!
    = The old API was not fine. It was never made to be used by anyone else other than the CF app. It was also not worth the time to edit for adding new features thus it was replaced.

  • Mods had the toggle disabled for them!
    = There was a bug where some stuff was disabled when it shouldn't have been it was fixed. Otherwise, anything else has been set by the dev. There was no forced disable. If you have an existing project, you should go set the setting to on or off, like right now.

  • CF is doing this on purpose to ruin 3rd party!
    = That's blatantly not true, If they wanted to do that they could have just removed everything. 3rd party project owners should reach out if they have questions or issues.

  • CF BAD! OW BAD!
    = 🤷

This might be a few days behind... it rolled out fast as lighting, but whatever.... It's not like you rely on this.... do you...?

NEWS! Short and sweet, Now with 1000% more 🌈 !

Windows Version 0.200.1.7

General:
🌈 Game detection now detects your feelings and knows to tell you when it has let you down or when it was successful.
🌈 Words are better for people that like words in languages.
🌈 Scanning for games and then clicking off will no longer make the scan window go away. Like, man, it's important ya'know.
🌈 When you get knocked down you can either get back up again, or stay there. The app will attempt to get back up again when failing to get game detection data from the server, because you never gonna keep us down.

Minecraft:
🌈 Create Custom Profile and smacking vanilla will not break the app anymore. It was so plain it just couldn't handle it.
🌈 Hovering over the Import button in the Create Custom Profile screen now properly makes the cursor do cursor things for making you know its clicking clickable.
🌈 Modpack version changing was bailed out of design jail and now has some loading shinnies while it fetches modpack information.
🌈 Versions tab doesn't do a cheap disappearing magic trick anymore when swapping pages.
🌈 Canceling custom profiles when it's fetching java will no longer cause an error. (Who cancels coffee while it's in progress of being fetched!?!, it had every right to be mad.)

Next time the news will hopefully be slightly more on time... or will it???
Tune in next time to find out! 😎

              Installing a different version of a resource pack from the Versions tab will overwrite the existing version file instead of keeping it as well.

Oopsie woopsie: Someone forgot to post the news about the newsletter!

First we're gonna go over in short what's in this newsletter!

  • API launch, it finally happened (like a month ago, but still)
  • That 3rd party toggle, what does it even do?!
  • No ElvUI for U! Or.. I mean.. us
  • Have you heard about our lord and saviour Linux and standalone clients?

API launch, it finally happened (like a month ago, but still)
Old (not officially public) API was taken down (stop using deprecated when you mean shut down) on may 16th.
.. which also meant that a lot of 3rd party launchers, software and other things that didn't read any posts, newsletters or public rantings, well, they broke, since they didn't update to use the new API.
This is also when the 3rd party toggle (more about that later) went active.

That 3rd party toggle, what does it even do?!
Simply put: If a project author selects to disable this setting, no 3rd party client will be able to download the files (well, the normal way by getting the URL from the API at least.. we know not everyone did it that way.)
Read more about the toggle here:
https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000207877-project-distribution-toggle

No ElvUI for U! Or.. I mean.. us
After some discussion back and forward, ElvUI decided to pull the plug and ask us to stop/remove the integration. So we did.

Have you heard about our lord and saviour Linux and standalone clients?
With the deprecation of the old API came new prob.. I mean wonderful things! A new Alpha has set down its paws on the ground.
It is.. CurseForge Standalone!
.. with support for only World of Warcraft, on Linux.. which uh.. yeah.
They are working on Minecraft support though!

✍️ We've done some improvements to the logs we write. We now add a mod ID when getting a bad server response. This will help us figure out what's wrong more quickly -
       not that anything bad ever happens.

🪲 Bug Fixes!

🖥️  Clicking the desktop icon while CurseForge is already running will not launch another instance, and will bring the currently running CurseForge application into the  front.

A new version of CurseForge, what is this?! It's the dawn of 0.202.1.4890!

As before, some new things have been done with bug fixes and improvements.. and there are more to come!

Improvements

Since people tend to be helpful when it comes to reading logs, we made sure that they are a bit easier to read, so we include some more debug data for you, to make those debugging hours become mere seconds!

Bug fixes

Remember when you had to restart CurseForge every time you wanted to change the additional java arguments for Minecraft? Pepperidge CurseForge Farm remembers. Now you don't need to restart it any longer, nice huh?
Want vanilla or any other properly named flavor for World of Warcraft? Well, you got it, the bug that gave it incorrect names have been squashed!
Where did my addons/mods go? Oh, they were deleted or inactive, but now they should show up in the UI again.. if you had them installed in the first place.
The default fallback path for Minecraft should now be chosen correctly (we hope), when you launch CurseForge the first time. (Not second or any other time..)

**Hey curselit CurseForgers, we definitely got a version for you today with STUFF in it. 🌈 - a good ol' mix of improved features and bug fixes Version 0.204.1 **

👍 Improved!

⚡ "Enter" and "ESC" usage - Are you a power user? do you like pressing the "Enter" and "ESC" buttons? Bonanza!chefkiss
The good folks at "CurseForge Inc." have decided to give you the option to use these buttons in a bunch of
scenarios (try it yourselves!!!!!!!).

grass Increased stability when launching the Minecraft launcher by clicking the launch button (it's really a "Play"
button but I needed it for the joke).

👑 You can now enter a modpack page during its installation phase - on a personal note, THANK ODIN / ZEUS / GOD /
BUDDHA / ALLĀH / YOUR PREFERRED HIGHER POWER THIS HAS BEEN IMPROVED.

🪲 Bug Fixes!

🌐 Fixed a crash caused by "circular dependency™️" when installing mods.

🌖 Fixed an error caused by periodic server requests.

✍️ Searching for World of Warcraft addons by ID from the Minecraft search bar will no longer work.

🧹 Fixed cases where we failed to properly clean-up deleted addons.

📥 Fixed a very rare case where an error would be thrown when deleting addons in bulk, and then navigating to
a different window, while the "Undo" pop-up is visible.

** Concerning hobbits Windows 7, the ancient OS that is EOL (End of Life)**
As you might have noticed, requirements have changed a bit, so that we can keep the app and it's future up to date
with current technology.
And since Windows 7 is not even supported by Microsoft any longer (Ended 14th January, 2020), we cannot keep
doing workarounds to get it to work.
So, we have decided to drop Windows 7 support, to enable us to go forward faster!
