How It Works

1. Finds the project on Modrinth by slug
2. Selects the latest version matching your Minecraft version (and loader for mods)
3. Downloads to appropriate folder:
   • Mods → mods/
   • Resource packs → resourcepacks/
   • Shaders → shaderpacks/
4. Tracks in mcconfig.json

Dependencies

Required mod dependencies are installed automatically (configurable with autoInstallDeps setting).

Skip for a single install with --no-deps:

clicraft install sodium --no-deps
