Source (In-Game Mods)
by Dentri2
Source puts a Modrinth browser into the Minecraft main menu, so players can search, filter and install mods without closing the game.
What it does
Source adds a native browser to the main menu for finding Modrinth mods. A player can search by name, for example Sodium or JEI, filter results by category such as Tech, Magic or Adventure, and order them by the listing's own sort options. A single Get button installs the chosen mod, and the mod's required dependencies are resolved automatically.
Only versions strictly compatible with the current Minecraft Forge instance are offered for installation, so a mod that does not match 1.20.1 is not added. The mod is a Forge client mod: it changes nothing on the server side, and servers run without it. Its latest file is 1.2.0 for 1.20.1, released on 2026-01-21, under the MIT License, which is not open source.
Source is a Technology mod that also falls under Management and Utility. Its first file was published on 2026-01-16, and it is one of the 3057 Technology mods with Forge files for 1.20.1.

Use cases
Finding a mod without leaving the game
A player looking for a specific mod can search and install it from the main menu, with no need to restart.
Who it’s for: Players who manage Forge mods on 1.20.1 and want the Modrinth catalog inside the launcher flow. Server owners need nothing from this mod, since it runs on the client alone.

What the author says
The missing link between Minecraft and Modrinth. Stop closing your game to find new mods. Source integrates the full power of the Modrinth platform directly into your Main Menu. It serves as the single origin point for all your modding needs.
