The community vote for the MCreator x CurseForge ModJam 2024 is over and it is time to announce the winners. Let's see what you voted for in the article. Read on!
MCreator and CurseForge would like first of all again congratulate to all the contestants. We found many mods really awesome, not just from these 3, or the 5 voting candidates, but many other mods that participated. It was really fun trying out all the mods and seeing all the innovative and creative mechanics, models, concepts, and ideas that emerged. It really makes developing MCreator worth it when you see all the fascinating stuff created with it!
Without further ado, let's check out the MCreator x CurseForge ModJam 2024 winners.
🥇 1st Place: Realm RPG: Quests & Rewards
Realm RPG: Quests & Rewards was by far the most voted mod of the contest. The mod made by NoCube adds a system of repeatable quests, inspired by MMORPGs. When you explore the vast worlds of Minecraft, you can stumble upon new structures with NPSs inside. Talk to them to receive a procedurally generated quest. There are tons of pre-defined quests, but the amazing part of this mod is that one can in fact use JSON to define custom quests. Quests can range from tasks of delivery, crafting, hunting, fishing, training, building, and much more.
🥈 2nd Place: Protection Pixel
This steampunk-style mod made by JEDIGD is all about armor. Each part of the armor has different functions and attributes to help players adapt to the rich environment in Minecraft and fight in the way they excel and enjoy. At the same time, players can use the massive industrial system of the Create to synthesize, process, and strengthen their armor. Use special customized machines to customize armor beyond your imagination!
🥉 3rd Place: Steam Powered
This mod made by Acidpop adds Steampunk-styled machines, mobs, items, armor, and more. Explore new biomes like the wetlands, traverse them with unique vehicles, and uncover valuable resources. Generate Steam to power new steampunk-styled machines added by this mod. Build and utilize, you guessed it - steam-powered, cobots to automate tasks to enhance your base. You can drive around with steam-powered cars too!
Conclusion
With the announcement of the winners, this ModJam is ending. We are glad that there were so many awesome participants. The CurseForge team will reward the winners via the reward program.
During the contest, we had to disqualify some of the contestants because of rule violations. The most notable disqualification was The Quackening mod which made it to the top 5 voting before we discovered its development started before the ModJam was announced. Thanks to the community for letting us know about this. Therefore the selection for the winners was made only amongst the other 4 mods.
To wrap this up, we would like once more congratulate to all the ModJam participants, really awesome mods were made! Keep in mind all mods not in the top 5 selection are eligible for the MOTW, where MCreator's team will gladly promote them as usual via our social channels with showcases, on the website sidebar, and in the MCreator launcher screen.
Comments
A question for the administrators. Is it fair to ask your YouTube audience to vote for your mod? Nocube did exactly that in his YouTube community. I don't think it's fair to the rest of the participants... https://www.youtube.com/@nocubemc/community

It turns out that the one with the most subscribers wins...
- "It turns out that the one with the most subscribers wins..."
- This was the question I asked first in this contest. And yes, it's true. Klemen confirmed that it is in fact true under the very first post with the rules. But.
I think Quests & Rewards is absolutely deserved to be here. It's an awesome mod with a huge amount of details that you might have missed (have you even played all the contestants' mods?). The first round of voting was not based on popularity. It was the jury's choice. I have no questions about the distribution of places.
I understand why some might consider this unfair, but it does not break any rules and this action is based on what the organizers themselves wrote (the mod with the most fans wins). This is no different from what some other participants did in the top 5 (advertising sign about voting on their mod pages, etc) and it's totally fine for a contest, cuz fans of a mod developer may not even know that their favorite modder participated in a ModJam.
I have long wanted to return to the YouTube channel, creating mod showcases like a year ago when I had a lot of free time, and this return of mine almost coincided with the competition.
All I did was mention in the youtube Community Tab that there is a competition in which you can vote for your favorite mod, and that I took part in it. I also didn't even offer any benefits to those few people who cast their vote for me, and they were able to vote for any participant if they like the project of any other person.
Thank you all for voting for me. I am not an old acquaintance in the field of mod development, so obtaining such an award cannot be achieved without the support of people who truly love my mod. I will continue to update the mod for players who like it and make it better.
