Welcome to the CurseForge Newsletter for September 2026!
September means everyone's back in routine, more time at the desk, more time in modded worlds. Horror mods are already trending as spooky season creeps in early, but here's what's actually new this month before Halloween takes over.
Our main topics of the month:
- This Month's Contest Winners
- Modded Servers, Made Easy
- RS: Dragonwilds is here!

This Month's Contest Winners
Minecraft ModJam 2026, "Echoes of the Past," wrapped up with winners across Mods, Resource Packs, Data Packs, and Bedrock Add-Ons. The theme was ancient artifacts and legendary creatures, and the winning entries lean all the way in.
Over in PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, the UGC Contest wrapped with $95,000 shared across winners for player-created custom modes, and these are built to be played, not just admired.

Modded Servers, Made Easy
CurseForge Servers just launched in beta, and it does the one thing that's always made modded multiplayer a pain: setting up a server. Skip the port forwarding and the separate hosting account. Create a modded server and invite your friends straight from the CurseForge app.
If you've ever modded a world solo because getting your friends set up felt like too much work, this is for you!
Download the CurseForge app and try it today.

RS: Dragonwilds Modding Contest
RS: Dragonwilds, Jagex's new co-op survival RPG, just hit its 1.0 release, and CurseForge mod support went live right alongside it. Ancient dragons have returned to the continent of Ashenfall, and it's on you to explore and fight your way to the Dragon Queen, solo or with up to three friends. The community's already on it: smoother building, tweaked spells, UI overhauls, and more.
To celebrate, we're running a modding contest with $10,000 in prizes for 23 winners.
- 10 Grand Prize winners at $600 each
- 10 Mid-Contest Reward winners at $100 each (awarded September 30, so early entries get a second shot at a payout)
- 3 Community Favorite winners at $1,000 each
Submissions are open now. Deadline is October 13, with community voting October 18-21 and winners announced October 22.
Enter the contest!
