So first off if there’s a better community to post to I’ll take this post down and post over there

So a buddy of mine is getting a modded Minecraft server up and has some curse forge mods. As I’m away from my computer right now I thought I’d try to get it working on my steam deck. Did some research and the Prism launcher seemed to be the best way to go. So I got the game to boot with curse forge (no mods) and vanilla

Now some of his mods are server side and some are client side so I tried connecting to the server and it said “This server has mods that require forge to be installed on the client”, I’m assuming I got this because I’m booting through prisms curse forge and have no mods

So my question is, he has a code from curse forge that I can use to download his mods from curse forge but I’m not seeing that option on Prism

    You’ll definitely have to have most of the client side mods installed before you’ll be able to connect.

    I’m not sure if there’s a code option in prism. I know that if he can give you the actual mod list, you can just manually search for an install the mods. All the modded servers I’ve played on were using a named modpack, so I just would search for that pack and install it.

      Alright

      I’ve modded Minecraft a while ago lightly so I’m basically in two new territories at once here lol. Would he be able to send me mod files (I think there’s like 300 mods but idk how many are server side) and then… idk import them into prism

        I have limited experience here as well unfortunately. He shouldnt have to send you the mod files themselves, if he sends you the mod names you can download them directly in prism launcher.

        You might be best off checking with @[email protected] since he seems to have more direct experience with this.

          I can’t remember if I mentioned this but my friend has lime 300 mods

          Idk if he downloaded several mod packs or what but another user said he can export the whole thing as a zip and use that
