Browse the best mods in gaming from many sources on the Internet!
An open-source website made by Christian Deacon that helps users find their favorite mods.
Please also check out the @modcommunity! They are doing things that will change the direction of gaming on a large scale by using modding and open source like never seen before!
A road map for the website may be found here!
Each GitHub project represents a quarter and lists all things we're hoping to get completed by the end of said quarter.
Any help from the open source community is highly appreciated on this project! We utilize the following.
- Laravel (PHP and Back-End).
- Tailwind CSS (HTML, CSS, and Front-End).
- jQuery (JavaScript and Front-End).
- DataTables (awesome jQuery library for loading millions of entries in a table).
Please take a look at our road map and join our Discord server for communication!
Best Mods is ran by the The Modding Community which is a newer project taking modding to the next level by offering a unique marketplace, server and community browser & discovery, and forum! We have a Discord here if you want to socialize and interact with others including talented modders and content creators.
Additionally, you may also use our discussions forum here!
The project utilizes Laravel, Tailwind CSS, jQuery, and DataTables (for listing mods). Installation on a Linux server is fairly simple. However, I'd recommend making sure you have at least NodeJS 16.x, Composer 2.2.x, and NPM 8.x.x.
Additionally, we currently use Auth0 for authentication with a custom role-based system. Users with the Admin role may create mods, seeds, and games through the /create route.
