ModFest

ModFest is a competition held by Mod Developers that make mods for the Fabric (since created in 1.14) and Quilt (as of 1.17) modloaders. The concept is similar to ModJam. Each ModFest has a different theme and a set amount of time for Modders to create mods. A new ModFest is created each new Minecraft version (or season in the case of FallFest). Groups of Modders or individuals make their own mods in a set amount of time to provide new ideas and challenge themselves.

ModFest mods are posted to the ModFest Discord, a packaged ModFest modpack when the event is over and individual mods are posted to Curseforge for players to access.

Each ModFest starts after a major release version begins (FallFest starting in 1.16.3 as an exception) has it's own website, awards and modpack that players can view. Each one ranges in different themes and conditions to follow. Like making mods that don't alter gameplay/modifying essential game mechanics, using public domain assets, using pre-created libraries, resubmission/limited bug fixes and patches that can be made before being disqualified and more. Anyone in the ModFest Discord can vote on the mod they think best fits the award and the votes are tallied up. The awards are just for fun nothing more grand or meaningful.

Mods included in each pack are less content heavy or stable than their further updated versions as they are just the completed versions released in time for the end of each ModFest.
