CurseForge vs wWaypoints

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.

wWaypoints is a client-side utility mod for Minecraft: Java Edition that lets players create multi-block waypoints, choose icons, and arrange locations in folders and subfolders. It also highlights blocks, includes a toggle sneak improvement, and provides a sign GUI popup that can be switched on or off. The maker describes extensive customization options and menus designed to be easy to use.

A maker-published beta changelog describes sending waypoints once and sharing folders that update in real time. Party folders can sync with Hoplite party status and support actions such as warps. The Modrinth listing shows Fabric and Quilt support and compatibility with Minecraft Java versions 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.x, and 1.21.x; the maker’s beta information also lists Forge and NeoForge for Minecraft 1.20 and above. wWaypoints is free and open source, while the listing labels its license ARR. It runs as a Java mod on desktop systems, not as a mobile app. The listing links to Discord for issue reports and community support.
