Truncated status previews now link straight through to the
full entry, so you can read the rest of anything that got
cut off in the snippet.
Fixed
Your dashboard now loads in milliseconds instead of taking
up to half a minute (or timing out entirely). The fix is
most dramatic for accounts that haven't been very active
recently — those were hit the hardest by the old slow
query. If you'd quietly been avoiding your own
dashboard, sorry about that.
Dashboard feeds no longer show mysterious blank cards
between real posts. Those were status updates pointing at
modpacks that had since been deleted; we now quietly skip
them.
Scrolling through your dashboard feed across pages is now
stable — new posts arriving while you read no longer cause
the same status to appear on two consecutive pages.
Replaced the search bar's autocomplete with a faster, more
accessible alternative.
Also?
Updated jQuery to v4 across the entire site — a major
dependency refresh that should be invisible to
you. If something feels off on a page that uses
JavaScript, this is probably the suspect.
v3.21.0
May 11 2026
Fixed
Modpack pages can once again show the Discord server widget
on packs whose Discord Server ID was saved years ago in an
unusual format — an iframe embed, a widget URL, a channels
link. We pulled the actual server ID out of anything we could
recover and quietly cleared the rest. If your
Discord widget was mysteriously absent, take a look — it
might be back.
v3.20.7
Apr 17 2026
Fixed
Dropped the beta launcher build stream. Usage was
extremely low and maintaining a parallel release pipeline
wasn't worth the added complexity — the one remaining
build is now just the launcher. If you
were on the beta stream, your launcher will quietly switch
over to the stable build on its own.
v3.20.6
Apr 14 2026
Fixed
Publishing a new modpack version now updates the launcher
immediately instead of being delayed up to an
hour. Turns out "eventually consistent" isn't great
when you're excited to share your update.
Replacing your modpack's icon, logo, or background now shows
up in the launcher right away.
v3.20.5
Mar 31 2026
Fixed
Fixed a crash that could occur when paginating deep into
search results.
v3.20.4
Mar 31 2026
Fixed
The modpack text editor no longer underlines everything in red
with spell-check squiggles.
Links and images in the editor preview are now actually visible
in dark mode.
Editor fonts match the rest of the platform instead of looking
like they wandered in from a different website.
Going fullscreen in the editor now actually goes fullscreen.
Fixed a handful of pages that could error out under certain
conditions — modpack status pages, edit pages, contributor
pages, and user profiles are all more reliable now.
Also?
Pulled our Solder connectivity library into the main codebase
instead of maintaining it as a separate
package. One less repo to worry
about.
v3.20.1
Mar 29 2026
Fixed
Improved reliability for modpack discuss pages that have nested reply
chains.
v3.20.0
Mar 29 2026
Fixed
Search results now render directly from index hits, so modpacks no longer
disappear when records are out of sync.
Install and run stats on modpack cards are now consistent across the list
and search pages.
v3.19.0 - v3.19.3
Mar 27-28 2026
New
The Windows download button now points to the Technic Launcher
Bootstrap installer.
Fixed

A few under-the-hood stability fixes landed for Solder-backed pages and
spam filtering.
v3.17.2 - v3.18.0
Mar 16 2026
Also?
Mostly moderation workflow improvements in this window, helping us clean up
spam faster and keep public pages cleaner.
v3.17.1
Mar 16 2026
Fixed
The Solder mod list got a layout tidy-up — version badges and
mod names line up properly now.
Expand/collapse on mod details feels snappier.
v3.16.0 – v3.17.0
Mar 15–16 2026
Also?
Improved our behind-the-scenes spam management tools and squashed
a few admin-side bugs. Less spam for you, fewer
headaches for us.
v3.15.0
Mar 15 2026
New
Modpack listings and search got a complete redesign — cards are cleaner
and behave better on every screen size.
The install section got a glow-up. Literally — the install button
glows now.
Navigation, tabs, login buttons, and footer links all got a fresh coat
of paint.
Feed cards and comment threads are tidier, with better spacing for
sub-replies.
This very changelog page got a makeover too.
Fixed
The modpack status page no longer crashes when viewed by followers.
Captcha errors now show a real message instead of a cryptic error
page.
Article category pages load noticeably faster.
Mobile spacing fixed across the site — the navbar no longer feels
cramped on small screens.
Dropdown menus now have proper accessibility attributes.
Teaser page headers now match the main site.
Also?
Search engines understand the site better thanks to structured
data. Your modpacks might show up fancier in Google
results.
Under the hood: validation rules rewritten from scratch, dead code
swept out, stricter data handling everywhere. Boring? Yes.
Important? Also yes.
Backfilled this changelog with entries from 2017–2024. Better
late than never.
v3.14.0
Mar 13 2026
Fixed
Signing up with certain email addresses no longer hits an error page.
Profile pages no longer break when a status update references a deleted user.
Fixed missing bullet icons on this changelog page.
v3.13.0
Mar 12 2026
New
The entire site got a visual refresh! Buttons, forms, modals, dropdowns,
navigation — everything got a new coat of paint.
The modpack list uses a smoother layout that behaves better at every screen size.
Hover over any timestamp and you'll see the date and time in your
local timezone. No more mental math!
Modpack pages got a sleek new hero section with glass overlay and gradient.
Comments got a cleaner, more consistent look across the whole site.
The Discord sidebar widget was replaced with a compact card that loads way faster.
New Minecraft versions are now enabled by default when Mojang releases them.
YouTube URLs without www. now work in modpack settings.

Squashed several security bugs — CSRF, open redirect, XSS, and more.
Yay security!

are clearer too.
Disabled modpacks no longer show stale sidebar elements.
Fixed a missing background on some pages.
Hunted down dead and suspicious external links across the site and replaced them.
Pages with lots of data load faster thanks to smarter queries and
database indexing.
User profiles now show modpack count instead of a meaningless "rated" stat.
Comments are capped at two levels of nesting to keep threads readable.
The Solder settings page got a usability overhaul.
The edit changelog modal now centers properly with better label alignment.
Also?
Massive internal overhaul. Like, massive. New static analysis tooling,
icon library migration, complete admin panel rebuild, and a switch to
privacy-friendly Bunny Fonts. The kind of spring cleaning where you
find stuff behind the couch you forgot existed.
The classic teaser pages (Blightfall, Legends) were brought up to speed with
the new site framework.
v3.10.1 – v3.12.3
Feb – Mar 2026
Fixed
Modpack changes now always take effect immediately. There was a rare
case where edits could get stuck behind a stale cache. Not anymore!
Also?
A bunch of behind-the-scenes infrastructure work happened across these releases.
Pruning, queue reliability, cache fixes, dependency updates — the unglamorous
stuff that keeps the lights on.

to work better.
