CurseForge on X
Did you know that CurseForge has an X account? Well, now you do! We’ve been focusing on producing more top-notch content there for the past few months so we can keep everybody up to date on the latest in the world of modding. Here are a few of the new initiatives we’ve taken up on our X page to bring more eyes to our amazing mod authors:
- Creator of the Month - Since August, we’ve started crowning the Creator of the Month, showcasing our top mod authors and sending them a special prize for their hard work. Our winners so far have been Daedelus_Dev, Plantspookable & Mehvahdjukaar, and McJty. Follow our X page to stay in the loop and find out who our upcoming November Creator of the Month will be!
- Mod Showcases - While our TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram focus on traditional mod showcases, we’re using X to share new and popular mods alike through the power of memes. Here’s a sample; if you want more, you already know where to go.
- Giveaways - In October we completed our first giveaway of 5 Aerbunny plushies (yes, from the legendary Aether mod), and are planning many similar giveaways in the future. We’ve used this as a fun opportunity to bring attention to our mod authors and help them fund their upcoming projects!
It’s been a blast connecting with the community on X, and we hope to see more of you there. Come for the memes, stay for the great community!
Minecraft Modding Madness Winners
The Minecraft Modding Madness ModJam has come to a close, with authors winning a combined pool of $5,000 in prizes, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the creativity and talent displayed by all participants! After weeks of modding, testing, and raffles, we’re excited to reveal the grand prize winners. Each project was judged based on originality, gameplay impact, and overall creativity, and we had a fantastic time playing through them all.
Here are the five winners of the Minecraft Modding Madness ModJam for 2024!
