So first off if there’s a better community to post to I’ll take this post down and post over there

So a buddy of mine is getting a modded Minecraft server up and has some curse forge mods. As I’m away from my computer right now I thought I’d try to get it working on my steam deck. Did some research and the Prism launcher seemed to be the best way to go. So I got the game to boot with curse forge (no mods) and vanilla

Now some of his mods are server side and some are client side so I tried connecting to the server and it said “This server has mods that require forge to be installed on the client”, I’m assuming I got this because I’m booting through prisms curse forge and have no mods

So my question is, he has a code from curse forge that I can use to download his mods from curse forge but I’m not seeing that option on Prism

Is it a pre made modpack from curse forge or one they made himself? If it is the first, there should be an option when adding a new instance to download a modpack from curseforge or modrinth.

If it's the second, ask them to send the modlist and add the mods manually. You can do that by pressing "edit" on your modded instance, going to mods on the left, pressing "download mods" on the right and searching for all the mods in their modlist. Make sure when you create the instance you select "vanilla" instead of curseforge and select the forge modloader at the bottom of the menu instead.

When I get home I will add some video tutorials if I didn't explain it well.
