Modhub vs modstr

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.

modstr is a free web catalog of community-made downloads for Minecraft Bedrock and Java editions. It covers mods and addons, shaders, resource and texture packs, maps, data packs, and server plugins, with dependency information for supported Java mod loaders. Those loaders include Forge, Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge, Paper, and Spigot. Bedrock listings are described as compatible with Android, iOS, Windows, and consoles. Shader listings include packs for Render Dragon and older Bedrock engines, described as mobile-optimised with one-tap installation. The site says it hand-picks entries, checks them against the latest game version, and adds new content daily. Downloads link to authors’ original sources rather than being hosted by modstr, and the site says it does not place ad redirects around content. Many files are hosted by external services such as MediaFire, Mega, GitHub, or authors’ own sites, which may have ads, trackers, or later issues. Visitors can subscribe to Telegram for daily download updates. modstr describes itself as an independent fan project unaffiliated with Mojang Studios or Microsoft. Its privacy policy says it does not sell personal data or use it for profiling or automated decisions.
