    Should Aternos make all Curseforge Mods available to use? 2

    1. Yes (2) 100%
    2. No (0) 0%

    I have one question, why isn't aternos making use of Curseforge and adding all mods available to users to add to their Forge servers?

    Like, most mods have a server version of them, then why do we users have to do a request to each and every single one of them?

    This is actually kind of adressed in the ftp article

    Quote from Aternos

    We are aware that it would be possible to install systems like virus filters etc. However, these filters wouldn't detect code to bypass our limitations, because they are too game/platform specific. Also, a procedure like a manual check is practically impossible. The huge amount of users and the huge amount of mods/plugins etc. would require such a great effort which we cannot afford. Therefore, we prefer to focus on other topics that we think are more important.

    I could for example think of a mod claiming a second port and thus causing other severs to crash etc.
