Auto-download from Modrinth

Modrinth is an open source modding platform with a clean, easy to use website for finding Fabric and Forge mods. At startup, the container will automatically locate and download the newest versions of mod/plugin files that correspond to the TYPE and VERSION in use. Older file versions downloaded previously will automatically be cleaned up.

  • MODRINTH_PROJECTS : comma or newline separated list of project slugs (short name) or IDs. The project ID is located in the "Technical information" section. The slug is the part of the page URL that follows /mod/:
      https://modrinth.com/mod/fabric-api
                               ----------
                                |
                                +-- project slug
    
    Also, a specific version/type can be declared using colon symbol and version id/type after the project slug. The version id can be found in the 'Metadata' section. Valid version types are release, beta, alpha.
