CurseForge vs Modhub

CurseForge is a catalog for finding and downloading Minecraft mods and modpacks. Its Minecraft browse page lists Forge, Fabric, NeoForge, and Quilt, and displays more than 10,000 projects. Users can filter by game version and see dependency information, download tracking, and mod collections. The free web catalog provides access to Minecraft mods and modpacks, which the page describes as free. Premium access is available on the web and desktop client. Premium removes ads across CurseForge platforms and the desktop client, enables direct downloads without waiting delays, and includes custom themes and layout customization in the desktop experience. The monthly subscription is $2.99 per month. The annual subscription is $30.00 billed annually, listed from $35.88 with a 16% saving. Subscribers can cancel at any time and retain access through the billing cycle. Refunds are generally not offered, although exceptions may be considered individually. After Premium access ends, an account returns to free membership. CurseForge says mod authors receive 70% of subscription income.

Modhub is a free web directory for discovering, sharing, and downloading Minecraft modifications for Forge and Fabric. Users can filter listings by category, loader, and genre, then download files and follow installation instructions supplied by creators. A free account is needed to download mods and can also track favorites. Creators can upload mods with version management and detailed descriptions; the site also categorizes uploads automatically. Before publication, the moderation team reviews submissions for safety and compliance with community guidelines, usually within 24–48 hours. Modhub says it was created by Minecraft players but does not identify an operating company, headquarters, or founding date. Users must be at least 13 to create an account. Its privacy policy says it collects account and profile details, uploaded content, device and usage data, IP address, approximate location, and cookie data. The site says it uses technical and organizational measures to protect information, while noting that it cannot guarantee absolute security. Modhub lists [email protected] for questions, feedback, and support. It has no premium tiers or paywalls.
