Minecraft Inside vs Modrinth

Minecraft Inside is a free, web-based unofficial Minecraft website for finding and publishing community-created resources. Its publication platform covers mods, textures, skins, maps, videos, seeds, commands, datapacks, modpacks, and shaders. Visitors can use search and game-version filters, while listings provide dependency information and identify supported mod loaders including Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, and Quilt. The site also offers recipes, block information, instructions, and generators, plus a forum and user publication pages. A server directory lists server addresses, supported versions, and current player counts. Minecraft Inside links to resources such as OptiFine, Sodium, Iris, Just Enough Items, EMI, Xaero's Map, and JourneyMap. Authors must identify each material's author and source, and can request updates or removals or report violations by email or publication button. The site says it is not affiliated with Mojang Studios. Registration confirms consent to personal-data processing, and its privacy policy describes cookies and logging.

Modrinth hosts user-created projects for Minecraft: Java Edition, including mods, plugins, data packs, shaders, resource packs, and modpacks. Search and filters help visitors find projects, including by game version. The open-source Modrinth App is a desktop launcher for installing, removing, and updating mods, and sharing modpacks. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, though it is currently in public beta and Linux versions may have issues on some systems and configurations. Modrinth’s open API supports launcher integrations including ATLauncher, MultiMC, and Prism Launcher. Creators can manage team roles and permissions, receive ad revenue, and review page-view, download, and revenue reports. Modrinth Hosting supports Minecraft Java versions back to 1.2.5 and loaders including Fabric, Quilt, Forge, NeoForge, Paper, and Purpur, subject to version support. A free offer provides a 3 GB server for five days for US servers, with no credit card required. The platform has a free plan; Modrinth+ costs $4.99 a month, and customized hosting plans start at $5 a month.
