When I first started using CurseForge, the right-hand panel showed the most recent download for EVERY major Minecraft release version, rather than just the three most recent versions.

Since my suggestion to allow file upload notification subscriptions on a per-version basis was rejected, and version filtering in the Files section is not fully implemented, this is the only feasible way for players of particular versions to easily see new uploads for their version of choice.

The three most recent Minecraft versions aren't even the most popular, so it makes sense to show a file download for all versions. Three is arbitrary.

There is plenty of unused room on the sidebar to re-incorporate this feature.

For projects with spaces in the name, the maven API website is sending a 302 redirect, and it is including the space in the location header of the HTTP response. It should be escaping the spaces in the response.

This means that gradle can't use mods with spaces in their name. For example, if I put this in my build.gradle:

deobfProvided "v0ids-smart-backpacks:V0id's Smart Backpacks:1.0.6"

Gradle gets the redirect:

15:46:41.075 [DEBUG] [org.gradle.internal.resource.transport.http.AlwaysRedirectRedirectStrategy] Redirect requested to location &#39;<a rel="nofollow noreferrer" href="https://edge.forgecdn.net/files/2618/300/V0id&#39;s">https://edge.forgecdn.net/files/2618/300/V0id&#39;s</a> Smart Backpacks-1.0.6.jar&#39;

But the URL is invalid, and it can't resolve it:

java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in path at index 47: <a rel="nofollow noreferrer" href="https://edge.forgecdn.net/files/2618/300/V0id&#39;s">https://edge.forgecdn.net/files/2618/300/V0id&#39;s</a> Smart Backpacks-1.0.6.jar

I would like to request a few new categories on the Minecraft Mod section.

• Modpack Utility - This category would be for mods that are specifically designed for customizing modpacks. Things like Custom Main Menu, Game Stages, and CraftTweaker would belong in this category.


• Minigame/Gamemode - This category would be for mods that add a new way to play the game, or games within the main game. An example of this would be the Waiting Time mod and Modded Bingo.


• GameStages - This category would be for mods that expand upon the functionality of Game Stages. It would serve a similar role to the CraftTweaker category. There are currently 39 mods on CurseForge that would fit here.

Something that makes or breaks an app like Twitch - specifically in the game mod area - is tactility, and to me, it seems like with a recent update quite a bit of that has been lost.

While I'm asking specifically for the 'delete' button to be polished up a bit to possibly change into a loading spinner and then another icon if the deletion has failed (since at the moment literally nothing happens even if the delete actually worked), I think a lot more things in the same regard need a look at in terms of polishing.

I really do want the Twitch app to be the best it can be, so I don't intend to come across as demanding or annoyed at all. This is just my two cents :)

I have noticed that the Minecraft mod categories are missing 1 major category that I need to make a modpack for something. My friends and I are playing a medieval roleplay server and want a pack to take the vanilla look and feel and change it into something more what we wanted. To do this we need the Client Side category to be added so that we can easily discern which mods are have client sided effects and which have a server side content added. Examples of these types of mods I would like to see in such a category include mods such as Dynamic Lights, Dynamic Surroundings, Enhanced Visuals, Sound Filters and any minimap mod such as Xaero;s Minimap (normal or fair play) or Journymap. This would be very beneficial to modpack makers such as myself as we can forgo putting mods in such a category directly into a server and cause issues with server launch. These mods can be added in after with a second iteration of the modpack which I have done before. That makes one modpack profile for the server and one for the player.

The new experimental sub button is only on the expanded info page for a mod. While I can't speak for every user, I feel like most users download their mods from the search list rather than the expanded info page. The reasoning for this is that it is quicker to download mods you are already familiar with that way, and there is no clear indication that an expanded info page exists from the search page.

In my experience with the twitch app I only view the expanded info page if it is for a mod I am not familiar with. However when it comes to supporting mod authors, I would rather support the authors who's mods I use regularly, rather than some random mod I am seeing for the first time.
