- phit_ 9y agois it? 99% of the mods nowadays can be downloaded from Curse [1] without any ads and for easy mod management you can even install their launcher those that can't, can be usually found on this site with their official download site linked [2] [1] https://minecraft.curseforge.com/ https://minecraft.curseforge.com/ [2] https://bot.notenoughmods.com/ https://bot.notenoughmods.com/

- phit_ 9y agono it does not, it launches the vanilla client in which you enter your username and password so it goes directly to Mojang! the launcher (technically a wrapper around the normal launcher) was recently rebranded to Twitch Launcher since Amazon (Twitch) bought Curse https://mods.curse.com/client https://mods.curse.com/client

- Karunamon 9y agoYou can thank the community's reliance on scummy ad-laded URL shorteners like Adfly for that. It seems like every time I'm going through an adfly link, there's a fake download button. Worse, they've got fairly effective adblock detection.
