Minecraft metadata

Modrinth’s meta-generator queries and generates metadata for Minecraft and mod loaders for:

  • Performance (Serving static files can be easily cached and is extremely quick)
  • Ease for Launcher Devs (Metadata is served in an easy to query and use format)
  • Reliability (Provides a versioning system which ensures no breakage with updates)

The generator supports the original Minecraft data and reposting for the Forge, Fabric, Quilt, and NeoForge loaders.

The code lives in apps/meta-generator, with shared metadata models in packages/minecraft-meta-model and manifest types in packages/minecraft-meta-manifest.
