IDEAS

Help shape the future of CurseForge!

Enable users to install mods labeled 'not compatible' in the CurseForge desktop app, allowing for more flexibility with Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, and Quilt modloaders.

  • Why is it useful? This feature increases modding flexibility, enabling users to experiment with different combinations and get the most out of their Minecraft experience. It allows for creative exploration, potentially discovering new, compatible mod synergies despite initial compatibility labels.

  • Who would benefit from it? Both novice and experienced modders would benefit. New users could find it easier to mix and match mods without restriction, while experienced users could experiment with advanced setups. Developers could also use this feature to test and update mods more efficiently.

  • How should it work? Users should be able to toggle an "Override Compatibility" option within the CurseForge app. When enabled, this option would allow the installation of mods regardless of the compatibility label. The app should display a clear warning about potential risks, and offer a rollback feature to revert changes if any issues arise. This provides users with both flexibility and security in their modding activities.

    Maybe even override compatibility between mc versions. Because for example many 1.21 mods work with 1.21.1 mods. Same thing goes for other small version updates (mostly)
