Introduction
AntiCurse is a Minecraft mod primarily designed for modpack developers. Its purpose is to prevent users from running an instance containing it using the CurseForge Launcher.
Why?
Developers may have various personal reasons for including this mod in their packs. The main reason for AntiCurse's creation is due to CurseForge's parent company, Overwolf, funding the Israeli Military through ad revenue. By uploading projects or even accessing their site, you may inadvertently contribute to the conflict in the Middle East.
What can I use instead?
Modrinth - A relatively new yet widely used service similar to CurseForge, and it is open-source! Additionally, Modrinth gives a greater percentage of revenue to mod authors.
Prism Launcher - Another open-source launcher that supports mods from all platforms. (Fork of MultiMC)
MultiMC - A popular open-source launcher that supports mods from all platforms.
Isn't this anti-semitic?
No. Most people using this mod do so to avoid feeling complicit in the deaths of countless individuals on both sides of the conflict. No one wants this on their conscience, even in the slightest amount.
