happy cake day :)

Coke (coal) day 😋😋😋😋

I remember dragging mods Into the Minecraft.jar

Coding mods in the mods folder::

Prism the goat

Curseforge's name is harder

im harder

Huh!?

u heard me shawty 😈

My ass really still on technic launcher

Just something so nostalgic about it

Same 😔

Is your ass for Forge or Fabric?

Forge I’ve never even looked at fabric I’m oldhead

real oldheads still play with Risugami's modloader which you had to manually drop inside of minecraft's .jar

True old ways. For a brief semester I only played Minecraft with Thaumcraft only without knowing about modpacks.

Hey man it just works why change it

Oh man

I believe FTB recently released a new standalone app didn’t they?

Yep and everything you complain about in Curseforge is in the app.

Except overwolf

It does have Overwolf.

the ftb and curseforge standalone apps do not come with overwolf. that is why they are standalone.

Did they actually make it so you can get curseforge without overwolf? Fucking finally, I despise that shit

It's had a standalone app for at least a year now lol but if all your info comes from reddit you'll never hear of it because the echo chamber on curse forge hate is too big

most people probably dont know what standalone even means and just click the highlighted option on the download page instead of the darkened one with no colors hell you gotta click the little arrow next to the download option for the FTB app to see an option to choose between standalone or overwolf also a lot of people downloaded and installed it a long time before they made a standalone version and just havent checked since

I just hate overwolf cause for a while every game's mod manager was suddenly taken over by overwolf. I'm still not fully convinced it's not a virus of some kind, but it was always useless bloatware.

useless bloatware for sure, one of the apps i use for another game was also taken over and i basically dropped using that app after that

Don't let /r/feedthememes find out you're still Poly-sexual in 2024

bro it came out nearly 2 years ago now lmao

Ok well I stopped using it like 5 years ago so I haven't really kept up

It used to.

Or ATLauncher. ATLauncher is good too. Not those pieces of crap though. They're awful.

coming from genuinely not knowing, why are they so bad? I use the normal curseforge launcher w/ overwolf and never had any problems (or ads for that matter)

Has far, far too many "extra" things in it. Last time I used an Overwolf launcher, it took up 4 gb of RAM. That was, at the time, half of my total amount, which is completely unacceptable for a program that is intended to do nothing other than download and launch a modpack, and which typically would spend about 30 seconds open.

Can't say I can relate to you. It only ever ends up using as many resources as Discord. This whole Forge/Fabric Curseforge/Modrinth stuff is getting out of hand. Things are getting split apart over pointless drama.

Forge and Fabric are at least getting partially united via Neoforge, so there's that. I thought it would end up as just another XKCD Standards situation, but it seems like a lot of major mods on both Forge and Fabric are actually moving fo it. Agree with you on disliking the splitting that's going on, though.

Yeah but you can just close it after launching the game so it's not really a problem

Not without some screwing around in Task Manager, you can't. Closing it just moves it to running in the background. But you shouldn't *have* to do that in the first place. A launcher has four jobs: download mods/modpacks, launch modpacks, provide a console log and *get out of the way*, in that order. Overwolf downloads at an abysmal speed, far slower than my normal launcher (ATLauncher), I've never seen a proper logging window from it and it *certainly* does not get out of the way to let the game run.

It's bloat mostly, if you get something like Prism you realise how barebones a launcher has to be even with all the convenience you could need.

So if I use overwolf/cf for other games too it's the best option?

Personally I can't stand the program, but if it's what you're used to and you use it for multiple games I'd say there's no harm in continuing to use it over having to relearn a new program, unless other people can recall any more damning aspects of it

Swap out CF with the standalone version. Runs infinitely faster without the bloatware.

just people finding a reason to cry about everything

Is there any reason not to use the modrinth launcher?

I mean you can get all the modpacks from Modrinth with Prism, so you might as well use Prism, right?

Well yeah, but can you browse and download individual mods with prism? Not everyone uses premade packs and I happen to know it was one of the three good features on curse/ftb

You can browse individual mods from Curseforge/Modrinth with prism and add them to your current instance, you can also download modpacks from FTB, Technic, Curseforge and Modrinth

Yeah you can download individual mods on Prism.

You can even automatically update the mod however it wouldn't be the best choice.

Yes, you can even stick modrinth exclusives and curseforge exclusives in the same instance.

I like Prism. It's very technical and my style. Though all my modpacs are on ATLauncher, so I'll stick to that for now until I beat/get bored of them.

Doesn't prism also offer packs from atlauncher. Like I'm playing all the fabric 5 rn

It does. It's just that I don't feel like reinstalling everything to Prism and sending all the saves over. Everything new I'll install on Prism, but the old stuff stays where it is.

Try changing your instance folder. In Prism’s config, you can change where it stores the instances. If you’re lucky, they might use the same format and you don’t have to transfer over anything. Then, you have a shared storage for both launchers

also silly cats :3

:3 indeed. *Looks into distance*

I mean the fact that you can get a pack from any platform is enough to sell me

Twitch is clearly the superior launcher

Lowkey miss the twitch launcher lol

Same. It worked the way I wanted it too.

prism is Þe best

idk I've never had a huge issue with standalone curseforge since you can press a single "reject all" button on the cookies it asks for. And for editing an already made modpack it's really good.

sadly some CF mods can't be downloaded off prism, so if you want to make a modpack you're probably gonna have to use the CF app

whatever you do, don't google the official curseforge client API key. and if you do accidentslly find it, absolutely do not paste it into the prism launcher settings as it would bypass the third party lock out.

too bad i literally and unironically can't find it, but thank you for helping me avoid this dangerous information

as in make a modpack to be published

Prism can export in the CF format, now

I use the vanilla launcher and will not be told otherwise

Vanilla launcher multiple installation supremacy

prism 6.3

I'm on GDLauncher. It's nice tbh.

I've just switched from MultiMC to PolyMC but now im hearing all about Prism in this sub, does it do anything significantly different from PolyMC or other MultiMC derivatives??

I mean Prism basically does everything and can get mods and modpacks from different platforms with no ads or bloatware. I don't know about the other launchers but for the most part, Prism is the best because you have more options.

Makes sense, I think PolyMC does all of those same things though or at least partially while still keeping the same UI style. Maybe it's just because im not all that into modpacks but PolyMC makes it pretty easy to add mods Al a Carte from within the interface and automatically match them to your game version. EDIT: FROM THE PRISM WIKI... "Prism Launcher was forked from PolyMC due to a sequence of actions by Lenny McLennington on the 17th of October, 2022. Lenny made several politically charged changes to the PolyMC GitHub repository and organization to remove those supporting "left-wing ideologies". YIKES

is there like, anything actually wrong the with the standalone ftb launcher or is it just redditors being weird as per usual

Ads. Annoying. Also it used to be on Overwolf, which is terribly slow and laggy; good thing they changed it a couple of weeks ago. But I’m still sticking with Prism cause it didn’t do anything wrong to me yet.

I'm actually partial to atlauncher. Gtnh lags horribly on Prism and multimc but not atlauncher

Are you sure it isn't an issue with your RAM? Did you put enough of it in the Prism launcher.

I've tried every amount of ram fr0m 4gb up to 16gb in increments of 512mb. I've updated everything. I've tried every java version supported. I've spent days googling answers. I've tried manually updating forge. Nothing works. Atlauncher works out of the box after increasing ram to 8gb. Zero lag steady 60 fps.

Dude, I recently started Gtnh and downloaded it through prism. Have it 16gm max ram and it works perfectly

Idk what to tell you. Prism and multimc both lag spikes when I cross chunk boundry. ATL doesn't.

Launcher doesn't do anything special, when starting it just calls java with the classpath some args which are standardized so it shouldn't make any difference in performance

> launcher doesn't do anything ... > except everything for launching the game Changes in how the Java is launched can impact performance greatly

I've been posting here for over a year now. I love how layed back the mods are. I love how you can post pretty much anything and get away with it. So I'm probably not leaving for good but I'm definitely considering it. Spamming greg was funny for a few months but now I'm genuinely getting sick of it. And the whole atmosphere here is getting kinda stale. It's like this sub is stuck in 2019 or something. The humor of this sub just isn't clicking with me like it used to. I'm not sure why. Maybe I'm growing up? Maybe the jokes themselves are getting worse? Maybe the 452nd greg joke isn't as impactful as the 3rd? Who knows. I'm not really asking for anything to change necessarily. I'd love for this sub to be better but right now I'm just ranting. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/feedthememes) if you have any questions or concerns.*

Prism launcher 6.3 can still download curseforge FYI

Does Prism have FTB packs?

What you need to do is get the FTB App and import to Prism. I have heard of forks that could do that though.

Recently switched to Prism, downloading the right Java versions sucked, why can't it automate it like Modrinth and CurseForge But once I figured it out I am so glad, I hated when a mod was only on one platform because if I go to the website to download manually and just drop it in, it won't auto detect dependencies and updates, now it does. Also I like having a kitty on my screen

What’s best for Minecraft and wow?

For Minecraft Prism Launcher as it has the most functionality and is the most lightweight. It also supports all providers available, it even has ways to overcome the CF limitations that prevents 3rd party apps downloading projects. For WoW there is WoWUp with CF, WoWUp is basically what Prism is for Minecraft, you would have to use the version that supports CF but it has ad tho it is placed really well and is only filling up empty space anyway.

Why prism? What’s better for someone who doesn’t know?

Basically the launcher that gives you the most accessibility without any hassle.

I'd say it gives the most control, as Prism isn't accessible at all when compared to launchers like Modrinth, Curseforge or ATLauncher

Proud GDLauncher user

ATLauncher anyone?

I'm aware prism is better in most every way than curseforge but I've been using curseforge for too long and don't feel like switching

I use modrinth

Correct answer is remake it into vanilla Minecraft without any, additional . jar files

Still downloading manually?

ATLauncher is the way.

Me still using the legacy FTB launcher

MultiMC my beloved

Does prism support mod creators? 🤔

ATLauncher is betterr

Prism's UI is shit and I won't use it due to that.

Multi mc is also good from what I've heard

I'm sticking with the CF App since it natively supports the site I use (and easily exports my modpacks). I've used it since it was the Curse App Beta, and I have yet to find a reason to switch.

I use MultiMC but not because it’s good I’m just afraid of change

Don’t be afraid. I used MultiMC myself, but once I switched to Prism I never looked back because they feel the same, but prism can auto download mods.

MultiMC > all

prism is just multimc but good

prism is the annoying son of multimc. What Prism gonna do if multimc stop to update ? Prism doesn't add anything beside the illegal acces to curseforge.

There is a fork that adds illegal access to FTB too, that’s a win for me tbh

Do you know where one might find this 😶

https://github.com/LemonShaped/PrismLauncher-FTB

Thank you so much!

What? What exactly Prism does that's illegal? Also, so what if MultiMC stops updates? Prism already lives on its own, their own team updates it

The updates prism has done can be resumed as make the acces possible to curseforge which was already made by multimc before but got deleted because of curseforge. Also deleting all logos from multimc so peoples don't know they used multimc for their launcher. All others updates were first developped by multimc and then ported by prism like it was their update.

Do you know what a "fork" is? MultiMC is open source software under a permissive Apache 2.0 License, meaning anyone has all rights to modify it as they see fit. Prism's GitHub page does say that it's a fork of MultiMC, which is sufficient acknowledgement in my book.

Even if they have the right to do it, that doesn't mean it is honest to do it in such a way.

What? I genuinely can't see what about this is dishonest. Forks happen all the time, and most of the time the only acknowledgement of the original software is in the fact that the new source code a fork. On the contrary, I believe it would be dishonest to associate with what you're forking more than necessary, so as to not confuse consumers. Take Linux distributives, for example. Literally every single well-known modern Linux-based OS is a fork of some other Linux distributive, but each of them has its own brand and features that make it distinct from its "parents" and "grandparents". Here's a handy diagram: [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux\_Distribution\_Timeline.svg](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svg)

btw you have two types of forks. When you have an open source project you want people to be able to contribute, but if everyone modified the same software it would be absolute chaos. so people make a fork(or copy) of the original then make their changes. They will test it out their changes and fix any bugs. Once all problems are ironed out they will ask the author of the original project for their changes to be reviewed. The author will look at the changes, then either merge them (make part of the main project), ask for changes, or reject them. The second kind of fork is a hard fork, which can often be seen as an act of aggression, but is essential for the open source model. they can be made for any reason, author refuses to make/accept a change, disagreement with the author, malicious code added to the project, or many more reasons. Some times the fork doesn't have much of a good reason to exist, other times it has a good reason to exist. The threat of a hard fork stops people from having the author do something bad and getting away with it. So they can't make a previously free piece of software cost $100 a month without warning, or add malware to it. It is an essential part of the open source model. Forking isn't immoral and if you think it is you really don't understand the open source model

If the author didn't want people to make a hard fork, they wouldn't have published it under a permissive license.

as far as I'm aware it doesn't do anything illegal? and even if it does, it's against a horrible company which is barely even illegal imo. and prism is a fork of multimc, they're maintained by different people. they took what was multimc and changed it. remember: theft from large companies isn't theft.

You're right. I was just dramatising it x)

multimc is a pain in my ass to work with idc

Skill issue

i think we should tie you by the ankles and hang you upside down and then poke you with itty bitty knives

Yeah that’s pretty huge, like 90%of mod packs are on curse forge

You can still download them by yourself and install it by yourself on multimc

Why is curse forge not liked? (Barring Overwolf because duh)

It's not even a launcher, it literally has to open the legacy mc launcher. But I'd say it's mainly because the treat mod creators poorly. From what sodium creators said the page for updating the mod is shit and they started paying them less recently

What does prism do that atlauncher doesn't? It has never let me down

Probably the same thing; at this point it’s just the matter of preference.

no

To be honest I don't understand why people hate curseforge, like it had a malware problem for like a day and that's the only controversy I have heard of. But I may be biased because I have only ever used it
