Can I Use CurseForge on Linux for Minecraft Mods?

-

I’m trying to install CurseForge to download the Tornado mod for Minecraft, but when I go to the website, the ‘Open App’ button isn’t working. I’ve heard that CurseForge might not be compatible with Linux, and I’m not really sure if that’s true. I’ve managed to get Forge installed, but I can’t seem to get CurseForge to work, no matter how hard I try!

Have you checked out Prism Launcher? I’ve heard it can work with CurseForge mods pretty well. It might be worth a shot to see if it fits your needs.

CurseForge works fine for me! I just downloaded the AppImage and ran it directly. I use it mainly for installing and updating add-ons for World of Warcraft, so it should work for Minecraft too. Make sure you download it from the official link here: https://www.curseforge.com/download/app. Are you launching it from your Downloads folder?
