Should I start using Prism Launcher instead of Curseforge?
I've been using the CurseForge website since 2020, when I decided to try modding Minecraft for the first time. A couple of years later, I started using the CurseForge launcher, and I've been using it ever since. I've heard a lot of good things about Prism Launcher, so I'm thinking of switching over from CurseForge. I haven’t really been active in the modding community until very recently, so I never realized how disliked CurseForge actually is. Whenever I recommend it to anyone on this subreddit, I end up getting downvoted, and people never seem to like it.
I’ve seen people criticize it for the ads, but honestly, that part doesn’t really bother me too much. Lately, I’ve also been seeing people call it “bloatware” and complain that it’s not open source. I personally haven’t had any issues with it, and I’m very used to the UI, but should I switch to Prism Launcher instead?

Reminiscing about how disruptive and Thermal was during the early days of modding
Many of you will remember this. But for those of you who have forgotten and those who weren’t there, let me tell you a story.
Back in the days of opening minecraft.jar with WinRar to delete META-INF, there were two main tech mods. BuildCraft and Industrialcraft. Buildcraft had logistics with its pipes and resource generation with its quarry. Industrialcraft had processing like the macerator to double your ores and equipment like the drills, jetpack, and nano/quantum armor.
The thing is, these two mods had different types of energy. There was no universal energy like modern FE/RF. It was easy to generate a lot of power with industrialcraft between the nuclear reactors and solar panels, but beyond macerating faster there wasn’t a HUGE incentive to generate a lot of energy. Technically it did allow you to generate resources using UU-Matter, but that was a complex process and used such a massive amount of power that it wasn’t really worth it. At one point there was an addon for IC to convert its EU into Buildcraft’s RF, but it was super buggy and crashed a lot of the time.
Meanwhile with buildcraft the more power you made, the more quarries you could run and therefore the more materials you could generate. But actually generating and transferring a large amount of energy was quite difficult, with a risk of everything blowing up if you weren’t very careful. It required very bulky setups and either somehow gathering lots of lava or processing oil, which was itself a complex and bulky process.
Then along comes Thermal. It has a lot of the features of industrialcraft like ore doubling and uses electricity instead of some weird mechanical energy. Except… if you plug a Thermal fluxduct into a Buildcraft quarry, it. just. works. And with a pretty great rate of conversion too. And thus universal energy was born and BC quarries became MUCH stronger. Not to mention Thermal’s other additions such as infinite water, infinite lava (for a price), a bonemeal alternative, and so on.
Thank you, Thermal. Without it, modern modded minecraft would look very different.
