Moonstone is a tool to manage CurseForge or Modrinth modlists in IntelliJ.

Files named modlist.json will be opened with Moonstone. These contain the modlist in json data but provide a nice GUI to manage the modlist. It is intended to be used alongside PackDev to develop modpacks.

Moonstone can run as a standalone program or as an IntelliJ plugin. Instructions on how to install the IntelliJ plugin can be found at https://moddingx.org/jetbrains

The contents of the modlist.json file should be a json object with the following format:

• platform: A string that indicates the modding platform. Currently, supported values are curseforge and modrinth.
• loader: A string describing the mod loader for the modpack.
• minecraft: The minecraft version that the modpack uses.
• installed: A list of mod files that are explicitly installed.
• dependencies: A list of mod files that are installed only as dependencies for other files.

A mod file describes a json object with the following format:

• project: The project id
• file: The file id
• side: Where that mod is required. Either common, client or server
• locked: Whether this dependency is locked, so it can't be updated.
