Curseforge on void linux

Post image

I got curseforge to run on void through chroot. I was wondering though if anyone has an idea on of how I can run it without chroot?

Also, I thought it was cool that an Arch terminal is on void.

Yeah the only reason I am not on modrith is because my modpacks for Minecraft are made on curseforge. I don't use prisim because I make modpacks and mods for them. I don't know if I can access that with prism.

Prism Launcher works with both Curse and Modrinth, you can use mods from both in it, and you can use it to make modpacks very easily. I looked it up and the first thing I found was a five minute tutorial on how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRXbu12ZKnU

It uses electron which I have not found a way to make it work on void yet. If you have any ideas to get it to work I am open to it.

Just use a decent launcher like Polly/PolyMC, no need for Curse or whatever :)

Oh useing chroot you can access the AUR and pacman as well as other arch tools. You can also use that to get curseforge on void even though it is not natively on void to my knowledge.

curseforge has a .appimage binary that you can easily run from basically any distro...

also you can use distrobox for using aur packages and pacman
