200k Minecraft mods
The CurseForge community has hit a massive achievement - 200,000 Minecraft mods and counting! This milestone is a testament to the creativity and dedication of our incredible authors, who continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in Minecraft.
Every mod contributes to making Minecraft an ever-evolving experience, from game-changing overhauls to small but impactful tweaks.
To celebrate, we’ve put together a special video highlighting the impact of this community and the fantastic work you've all done. Watch it here and join us in celebrating this incredible achievement!
