Mod Menu Web Addon
by Levi_Designs
Mod Menu Web Addon fills in missing descriptions, websites, issue trackers and source links for mods listed in Mod Menu, using lookups on Modrinth and CurseForge.
What it does
Many mods ship without a description, website, issue tracker or source link in their metadata, and Mod Menu shows those fields empty. The addon looks up the missing details and icons for each installed mod on Modrinth and CurseForge, and fills only the gaps. Values a mod already declares are never overwritten, so the mod's own information stays in place.
Automatic Modrinth lookups work out of the box, while CurseForge lookups need an API key to be configured. The addon skips mods that do not need any lookup, so it does not spend time or bandwidth on them. Results are cached on disk for a week by default, so repeated opens of the menu usually do not send new requests. The mod runs on the client only, and it is published for Fabric 26.2 as version 1.0.1, with Fabric API and Mod Menu required.
Key features
Missing metadata lookup
Descriptions, websites, issue trackers and source links are fetched for installed mods that leave them out.
Icon lookup
Mods without an icon in their metadata can receive one from the Modrinth and CurseForge listings.
Gap filling only
Fields a mod declares itself are kept, and only empty fields are filled from the lookup results.
Cached results
Lookup results are saved to disk and reused for a week by default, which limits repeated requests.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.

Use cases
Browsing installed mods
Players who open Mod Menu to read about their mods see descriptions, icons and links for mods whose metadata is empty.
Finding a mod's project page
Source and issue tracker links appear in the Mod Menu entry, so a player can reach the code or report a bug from the menu.
Who it’s for: Players who use Mod Menu on Fabric 26.2 and want the mod list to show more information. It is a client-side addon, so server owners do not need it.
How it compares
WebScreen is a Fabric mod that runs on client and server and is published under the MIT License, with files for 26.2. Web Chat is client-side only, open source under the Apache License 2.0 and covers 1.21.1 – 26.3. Better Fabric Web Console is server-side only, uses a custom license that is not open source and targets 26.1.2, so it does not fill the same role as this addon.
