The Modding Community is a place to publish and find mods, game development assets, game servers, and the communities, groups and collections built around them. You can browse all of it without an account. An account is what lets you publish, talk, and keep track of things.

The four pillars, the browsers, and the URL shapes that will save you a lot of clicking.
Publish something
From an empty form to a page with files, screenshots and a release on it.
Understand the pieces
What a “content item” is, and why mods, servers and communities all behave the same way once you know.
The one concept worth learning first
Almost everything on this site is a content item. A mod is one. So is an asset, a server, an app, an article, a community, a collection and a group.
They are not just similar — they are deliberately built from the same parts. All of them:
- belong to an owner, and can grant read / write / delete access to other members or to whole groups;
- can be hidden (a draft), marked NSFW, or archived (retired but still readable);
- carry categories and tags, media, links, ratings, reviews, comments, followers and favourites;
- can name contributors, declare dependencies on other items, and state a usage policy;
- can be read through the API, and switched off from the anonymous half of it individually.
So the answer to “how do I add a screenshot to my community?” is the same as the answer for a mod, because it is the same machinery. The content model is the page that spells this out, and it is the best twenty minutes you can spend here.
What is different per item
The parts that are not shared are the interesting ones, and each has its own page:
| Item | The thing only it does |
|---|---|
| Mod | Belongs to exactly one app; carries install instructions and a licence |
| Asset | Game-dev material; the app is optional |
| Server | Has a live half — we query it, and record who is playing |
| App | A game or program; everything else files itself under one |
| Community | Owns servers, mods and articles; states an age requirement |
| Collection | A curated list of other items, installable as a set |
| Group | A roster of people — and a permission principal |
| Article | Long-form writing, attachable to any of the above |
Where to go if you are…
Publishing a mod. Publish your first item, then releases and files.
Running a game server. Servers — in particular how the scanner finds and tracks you and how to claim a listing.
Writing a plugin or a mod that talks to us. The integration API.
Automating your own uploads. The public content API.
Worried about something you saw. Reporting.
