There is still a mod - option mods download system
by filowxy
There is still a mod - option mods system is a NeoForge library for modpack authors that offers optional mods to players through official sources.
What it does
The library lets a modpack author list recommended optional mods and remind players about them. At startup it scans the mods folder and matches jar filenames against a modules.json list of mod identifiers, then works out which recommended mods the player has not installed yet. A three-layer gate decides whether a prompt appears: a recommended mod already installed hides it, a choice to never be reminded again stops it, and a reminder timer that has come due allows it.
When a prompt is allowed, a small first-prompt card appears on the title screen. It has three buttons and links each suggestion to an official source, so the player chooses whether to install. The author describes the design as a discoverability layer that respects licensing and player choice. Modpack authors shipping the library can add a description to the modpack, and the mod can be included in a modpack like any other NeoForge library.
The library is published for NeoForge only, for Minecraft 1.21.1. The latest file is 1.0.0 for 1.21.1, released 2026-07-26 on the beta channel, and the mod was first published on the same date. Its code is under the Apache License 2.0, and the project is not open source. Players need the library on their client, while a server can run without it.
