In order to facilitate Modrinth's
Please note that these are general rules and will not be enforced "to the letter". We reserve the right to modify and/or remove any file, project, or other Content uploaded to our platform for any reason. We reserve the right to introduce new rules at any time, which may or may not retroactively apply to already uploaded Content at the discretion of our moderators.
If you find any violations of these Rules on our website, it is your responsibility to report it. You may use the Report button on any project, version, or user page, or you may email us at support@modrinth.com.
Content cannot contain or download malware, which we define as anything that is designed:
Content, especially projects, must make a clear and honest attempt to describe their purpose on the page(s) where it may be found.
Content must not make or share intentionally wrong or misleading claims. This includes but is not limited to claims regarding the Content itself, claims regarding other Content, and claims not relating to Content on Modrinth.
Projects in particular must attempt to describe the following three things within their description:
Project descriptions must also be accessible. For the most part, this means that descriptions cannot mostly consist of text within images, and necessary information cannot be obscured.
Projects which don't meet of these expectations may be removed from search rather than removed from the platform altogether, at the moderators' discretion.
Projects cannot contain or download "cheats", which we define as a client-side modification that:
You must own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to store, share, or distribute the Content that is uploaded under your Modrinth account.
Content may not be directly "reuploaded" from another platform without the permission of the author or copyright holder, even with the appropriate licensing or other rights. This restriction does not apply to content within modpacks or to so called "forks" - that is, modified copies of a project which have diverged substantially enough from the original project, at the discretion of Modrinth's moderators.
Content must not infringe upon anyone's rights or intellectual property.
Content must abide by the laws which govern Rinth, Inc., i.e. those of the United States and of the State of Delaware.
Content on Modrinth is meant to be appropriate for audiences 13 years of age and above.
