Six sources in one place

The Mods tab: switch sources at the top, browse and install below.

Every game's Mods tab consolidates six mod stores in one view:

  • Thunderstore
  • Nexus Mods
  • CurseForge
  • mod.io
  • Modrinth
  • Steam Workshop

Which sources appear depends on the game. If a game has no Thunderstore presence, that source is hidden. Vaerune only shows the sources that actually carry mods for the server you are managing.

Install a mod

Search or browse, then click Install. Vaerune downloads the mod, extracts it to the correct location for that game, and updates a manifest so it can track versions and remove the mod cleanly later. Installed mods appear in the same tab so you can see what is active at a glance.

If a mod would conflict with an active hook or a running server, Vaerune warns you before applying it. Mods that have been flagged for destabilizing servers show a warning badge and can be disabled in one click without manual file surgery.

Install from file

If you have a mod archive on disk (zip, rar, or the game's native package format), you can install it directly without going through a store. Drop the file onto the Mods tab or use the Install from file button. Vaerune extracts it the same way it would a store download.
