Mods, packs and shaders

Content is installed per profile. Open a profile, then use its two tabs: Discover to find content, Content to manage what is installed.

Discover#

1. Choose the platform: Modrinth or CurseForge.
2. Choose the type: Mods, Resource packs, Datapacks or Shaders.
3. Search, and sort by relevance, downloads, popularity, newest, recently updated, featured or name.
4. Click Install.

Results are filtered to stay compatible with the profile's version and mod loader. When a mod needs other mods, Mistly installs its dependencies too and tells you how many.

Mods need a mod loader. On a Vanilla or OptiFine profile, Mistly asks you to pick a loader first. See Versions and mod loaders.

Datapacks#

Datapacks are installed into a world. Mistly asks which world to use. If the profile has no world yet, launch it once, create a world, then come back.

Shaders#

Shaders need OptiFine, or the Iris (Fabric, NeoForge) or Oculus (Forge) mod. If it is missing, Mistly offers to install it with the shader. See Shaders.

Content#

The Content tab lists everything installed in the profile, with a filter by type and a search box. For each item you can:

• enable or disable it: the file is renamed with a .disabled extension and the game ignores it;
• delete it.

Files you added to the folders by hand are identified too, by their hash on Modrinth or their fingerprint on CurseForge, so they show with their real name.

CurseForge#

Some CurseForge authors do not allow downloads from other apps than CurseForge. In that case Mistly lists the files and opens their pages: download them and put them in the folder indicated. See Modpacks.
