Add Arclight

Arclight is a hybrid Minecraft server platform that combines Forge, Fabric, and Spigot/Paper‑based plugins into one unified loader. It allows creators and server owners to run mods and plugins together without sacrificing performance or compatibility. Adding Arclight as an official mod loader on CurseForge would open the door for thousands of creators who rely on mixed environments.


Why This Matters


Hybrid Support: Many servers use both Forge mods and Bukkit/Paper plugins. Arclight is one of the most stable and widely used hybrid loaders, but CurseForge currently doesn’t allow creators to tag or upload content specifically for it.


Better Modpack Discovery: Modpacks built for hybrid servers can’t be properly categorized, making them harder for users to find.


Growing Community Demand: Arclight has a large and active user base, especially among modded SMPs, adventure servers, and custom RPG servers.


Improved Compatibility: Supporting Arclight would reduce confusion for users who don’t know which mod loader to pick when using hybrid packs.


What This Enables


Uploading modpacks specifically designed for Arclight


Proper dependency tagging for hybrid environments


Clear separation between Forge-only, Fabric-only, and hybrid server packs


Better support for creators who build plugin‑mod crossover content


Why Arclight Fits CurseForge’s EcosystemArclight is stable, actively maintained, and widely adopted. It aligns perfectly with CurseForge’s goal of supporting diverse modding environments and making modpacks easier to use for everyone.


RequestPlease add Arclight as an official mod loader option for projects and modpacks. This would significantly improve clarity, compatibility, and support for hybrid server creators across the platform.
