Modlist UI

Browse, search, inspect, pin and share your currently active mods directly in-game.

Modlist UI is a compact utility useful during modded gameplay, streaming, troubleshooting, and modpack authoring.
An in-game searchable overview lists every currently active mod, along with richer metadata, thumbnails, sorting, and pinning.
Several copy tools enable mod-list sharing and dependency-array JSON export.


🚫 Modlist UI is set to [No Thumbnails] by default, as a startup failsafe.

First change this in Settings -> Mod Settings -> Tab: Startup -> Modlist UI: Thumbnail Mode to [Version-Matched] or [Latest Available]


⭐ Features

  • [Search] your active mods across titles, names, authors and other displayed metadata.
  • [Mini Widget] aka. Minilist UI displays one mod-title in a tiny little randomized one-line marquee as you play, great for passive info while streaming to viewers.
  • [Sort] by Version, Title, Author or Category in ascending, descending or default order, with player-defined settings.
  • [Display] richer mod details in expandable entries with descriptions, thumbnails and links.
  • [Pin] and [Reorder] favourite mods so important entries stay at the top regardless of search or sorting.
  • [Copy] your active mod list or modpack dependency for easy sharing or as [info.json] skeleton.
  • [Modes] for thumbnail fallback and version-matching safeguards for large or unusual modpacks.
  • [Per-Player Settings] drawer for ingame non-interruptive live-result** Modlist UI adjustment, such as Mini Widget position, default sort/direction, etc.
