About this project

What does Simple Mod Manager add?

Simple Mod Manager

Overview

Simple Mod Manager is a lightweight utility designed to help players easily enable, disable, and manage their mods without the hassle of manually moving files around.

Key Features

  • Clean and intuitive interface
  • Press F8 to open the mod manager screen in-game
  • Enable or disable mods with a single click
  • Automatically organizes and displays available mods
  • Lightweight and optimized for performance

How It Works

  1. Launch your game with the Simple Mod Manager installed
  2. Press F8 at any time to open the mod manager screen
  3. Browse through your installed mods
  4. Enable or disable mods instantly without restarting the game
  5. Configurable Whitelist: Secure your mod list via the "Configure Whitelist" button. This feature allows you to define exactly which mods, resource packs, or shaders a user is permitted to enable or disable.
    • Use case: This is highly beneficial for modpack developers who want to guarantee game stability by keeping essential dependency mods hidden and un-toggleable, while still offering flexibility for optional add-ons.

Why Use Simple Mod Manager?

  • Managing mods manually can be frustrating.
  • Simple Mod Manager streamlines the process, making it easy for players to customize their setup.
  • With its simple design and quick access key, modding has never been easier.

Requirements

  • Java installed on your system
  • Fabric installed on game directory
  • Place the Simple-Mod-Manager-1.1.0.jar in your mods folder (depending on your game setup)
  • Important Upgrade Notice (v1.5.4): If you are upgrading from version 1.5.3 or earlier, you MUST delete the simplemodmanager_state.json file from your .minecraft/config folder before launching the game. Leaving the old file may cause configuration conflicts with the new whitelist features.

Controls

  • F8 → Open the Mod Manager screen

Final Notes

  • This tool is designed to keep modding simple, fast, and frustration-free.
  • Enjoy full control of your mods with just one key press!

Usage Policy

  • You may include this mod in modpacks, as long as the modpack is hosted on Modrinth.
  • Please do not reupload this mod to other platforms or redistribute the jar directly.
