MinecraftHub.io vs Modrinth

MinecraftHub.io is a free web index for Java and Bedrock Minecraft players. It organizes mods, modpacks, server plugins, Bedrock addons, resource packs, shaders, data packs, maps, seeds, skins, and guides. Resource pages point to original sources such as Modrinth, CurseForge, MCPEDL, Planet Minecraft, and creator websites instead of hosting files. A human review marks resources ready for publication, while platform and game-version metadata reflects information supplied by creators. The index provides game-version filters, dependency information, and tags for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt. MinecraftHub says it does not consistently test resources in-game. It excludes APKs, cracked launchers, hacked clients, paid Marketplace mirrors, NSFW files, and content with unclear ownership. Downloads are not placed behind ads. The site has no public accounts and is not a marketplace or community-submission platform. Users can report incorrect credits, broken links, outdated tags, or pages for removal.

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.
