Hey everyone! Creating, organizing, and finding instances has always been one of the most important parts of the Modrinth App, but we weren’t happy with how this worked With this update, we’ve brought the Home and Library together into a new Play page, rebuilt instance organization, added an icon editor, and improved onboarding across the whole app

TL;DR

• New Play page combining Home and Library
• Improved instance creation flow
• New icon editor for instance icons
• Improved instance groups and filtering
• New onboarding checklist for first-time users
• Updated empty states and sign-in modals

Make sure to read the blog post to see how this all works!

Hey everyone! We’ve got our first major update to Modrinth’s rules… I think, ever?

We wrote up a whole blog post about this, but let me summarize the highlights:

- AI images as project icons, banners, gallery images, or in their descriptions are no longer allowed.

- Fully or nearly fully AI-generated projects are no longer allowed.

- AI-assisted projects, where the human creator contributed in a primary and significant way, are allowed but must disclose that AI assistance was used and what it was used for.

In addition, we added a number of other mandatory content disclosures for advertising, paid features, telemetry, derivative content, photosensitivity trigger warnings, and external system interactions.

We want to make it clear that these content disclosures are to standardize creators being transparent with their users about what the projects are doing. It is *not* for witch-hunting or to shame, insult, belittle, or harass creators. **Be kind to each other**, harassment will not be tolerated.

Creators have 45 days from today to get their projects updated to meet these new rules, and until then we will not be accepting reports for these new disclosures or AI policy.

hello!

We've decided to open up an official subreddit. We don't have a ton of plans for reddit activity, but we'll post major announcements over there and may be able to respond to people from time to time.

On the new subreddit, we'll make it very clear when a staff member is responding, they'll have a green "Modrinth Team" flair. Of course, if you need official support, the place to do that is https://support.modrinth.com, much like on Discord we don't offer support on Reddit.

hey!

we're exciting to unveil this feature that's been a long time coming and kinda the culmination of what we've been building for the last few years for a super seamless multiplayer experience for you and your friends.

this is basically the motivation for making Modrinth App in the first place, I always recall the horrors of trying to get my tech-illiterate friends to install my custom modpacks and stuff to play on my server. Now, all of that is a thing of the past, all I've gotta do is share an invite link.
