Install and update mods from CurseForge and Modrinth through a simple command.
Hi everyone!
I have acquired a CurseForge API key, but still want to make it easy to install mods from CurseForge without applying for a key.
Maybe that's not possible, but I have some ideas at least for improving mcman.
This includes downloading mods from CurseForge.
For now though, I can point you to an awesome and in my opinion, better alternative: ferium.
Cheers, Senth
