Community guidelines

Be Honest

Reviews must reflect your real, first-hand experience with the project. Don't post fake reviews, knowingly false claims, or misinformation. Don't rate a project you haven't actually used.

Disclose If You Worked on the Project

You may review a project you have worked on, but you must be clearly transparent about your relationship to it in your written review. If you are reviewing a Modrinth project you are on the team for, you must also connect your Modrinth account so your review carries a Verified Developer badge. Reviews that falsely claim to be from a developer will be removed and the account banned.

Be Kind and Constructive

Honest and blunt reviews are fine and we won't reject a review just for being harsh. Aim to be constructive: critique the work, not the people who made it. Personal attacks, hate speech, slurs, threats, and doxxing are never allowed and will be rejected.

Justify Your Rating

Reviews should explain the rating. A low rating without reasoning isn't useful to players, and neither is a perfect rating with no explanation. Tell us what the project does or doesn't do well.

Review Content, Not Compatibility

Do not base reviews on the Minecraft version, hardware, mod loader, or required dependencies the project needs. Reviews that contain porting requests or lower ratings based on such factors will be rejected.

Focus on Quality and Content

Reviews should focus on the project's quality and content. Anything about the experience is fair to judge, including gameplay, balance, features, stability, performance, presentation, and documentation. A developer's personal life, their conduct elsewhere, or how the project was made are not the subject of a review. You can mention these if they are relevant, but your review must stand on the project itself. Reviews that mainly discuss the developer or off-project drama will be rejected.

No Spam or Advertising

Reviews must be genuine reviews of the project. Do not post spam, copypasta, or duplicated text, and do not use a review to advertise or promote another project, product, or service.

Tag Your Spoilers

If your review reveals quest progression, story endings, or hidden mechanics, use spoiler tags to hide them.

Images Must Show the Project

Any image you attach has to show the project itself, from your own use of it. For most projects that means in-game screenshots. For dev tools and libraries with nothing to see in-game, screenshots of the code, config, or output you worked with are fine. Memes, fan art, and screenshots of chats or other websites are not, and we will remove them.

No Alternate/Multiple Accounts

You may not leave reviews on multiple accounts. If we detect you are leaving multiple reviews with different accounts, all associated accounts and IP addresses will be banned.

No compensation for specific ratings or reviews

No encouraging specific ratings, raiding, or review bombing
