Submission Steps

To submit a project to a ModFest event:

Join the ModFest Discord and /register for the event to access participant chat channels.
Upload your project to Modrinth (with source/description/images!) and get it reviewed and published.
Validate your project works in the base modpack/server for the event, fixing any incompatibilities.
Submit your project using /submit modrinth and enter your project URL.
Check the submissions section of the event page and validate your submission is visible!

If your project can't be uploaded to modrinth (e.g. a website), submit it using /submit other with a URL.

In order to appear on the modfest website and be eligible in voting, mods must be:

Feature-complete when submissions close - only fix/polish updates are allowed post-deadline
Built from publicly-visible source code - this allows other participants to identify/patch issues
Developed from scratch (ModFest) / New to MF/BC or meaningfully updated since (BlanketCon)
Free of "troll", explicit, hateful, or AI-generated content

The team makes exceptions for slightly late submissions & fairly reused assets - just ask!

For the purposes of the event, your mod may be modified/distributed by the ModFest team.

You may also be asked to make changes to the submitted version of your mod for "showcaseability", e.g.:

Removing a feature that creates lag, presents an incompatibility, or trips common phobias
Ensuring adventure mode prevents your mod features from allowing players to modify the world
An improvement / compatibility addition that helps make the showcase the best it can be!

None of the following are expectations or requirements of submissions:

Being done, complete, or fully working - unfinished mods are welcome at showcase
Being perfect at the deadline - bugfix & polish updates are accepted post-deadline
Matching the theme - all mods are accepted, not just themed ones
Having a permissive license - as long as the source is visible, you can use ARR or similar

If you've submitted early, you can support other participants developing their mods!
