| Audience | FreeMinecraftMods describes itself as a discovery and comparison layer for Minecraft players and creators. | ModDex is aimed at Minecraft mod and modpack players who want to discover, evaluate, review, and track projects across CurseForge and Modrinth. |
| Integrations | The privacy policy names Modrinth, CurseForge through a private Cloudflare proxy, Minecraft skin sources, server-status services and creator-provided links as metadata sources. | ModDex aggregates CurseForge and Modrinth catalogs, and project download buttons send users to the original platform rather than serving files. |
| Support | The contact page lists [email protected] and says the site can address metadata corrections, unsafe or disputed media, source links, creator credit, and website questions. | The site directs users to Discord for issue reports, feedback, ideas, partnerships, and team discussion, and also provides email for general inquiries. |

In their own words
FreeMinecraftMods
FreeMinecraftMods is a web discovery and comparison site for Minecraft projects, including mods, resource packs, shaders, datapacks, modpacks, maps, skins, plugins, servers, and creator pages. Visitors can filter the library by project type, loader, version, side, category, and downloads. Listings may show platform, creator credit, license label, media, category, side support, and an official download link. The site says it directs users to official project pages instead of copying third-party files. Its modpack builder searches CurseForge projects, checks loader and version fit, and exports a CurseForge import ZIP containing manifest.json and modlist.html. Crash Log First-Aid begins with checks for loader mismatches, missing dependencies, memory errors, and common rendering conflicts. Source Safety assesses whether a project URL or download text appears official or could be a risky mirror. Browsing, generating and exporting builds, and reading public guides do not require an account; saving and publishing do. Optional AI tools may process submitted prompts, crash-log excerpts, or compatibility warnings through Cloudflare Workers AI when available. The site describes itself as unaffiliated with Mojang and Microsoft.
ModDex
ModDex is a Minecraft mod and modpack discovery and review site that combines catalog information from CurseForge and Modrinth. Shared search filters cover mod loaders, Minecraft versions, genres, themes, feature tags and ratings. Reviews can include an overall score, optional Gameplay, Performance and Aesthetics ratings, and context such as version played or playtime. Pack Finder surfaces modpacks based on preferences such as loader, game version and play style; Pack Comparison places packs side by side using ratings, tags, loaders and other catalog details. A free account is required to rate, review, vote, manage a library, create stacks, follow projects and receive notifications. Users can track modpacks in a library and make shareable collections with notes and visibility controls. ModDex does not host project files: download buttons lead to the original CurseForge or Modrinth project. It also offers a REST API, whose public v1 endpoints require a Bearer token; API use is limited to personal and non-commercial purposes. Some stack and review-image limits vary by reputation rank.
