Supports mods from Modrinth, CurseForge, and GitHub Releases, and modpacks from Modrinth and CurseForge, allowing centralized management from all major Minecraft mod repositories in one tool.
Utilizes multithreading for network tasks, enabling rapid downloads; the README shows examples like downloading a modpack with 79 mods in 15 seconds and another with 400 mods in under a minute.
Allows creation of multiple profiles with configurable mod loaders, Minecraft versions, and output directories, making it easy to switch between different mod setups for various servers or gameplay styles.
Commands like `ferium upgrade` update all mods to latest compatible versions in one go, and `ferium scan` automatically imports mods from existing directories, reducing manual effort.
Only covers Modrinth, CurseForge, and GitHub Releases, so mods from other platforms like Bukkit or direct download sites cannot be managed, which may require manual workarounds.
Some mods require manual intervention, such as disabling compatibility checks via flags or editing config files, as noted for cases like Just Enough Items where metadata is incomplete.
Regular Linux versions require a desktop environment with XDG Desktop Portal for GUI features; while 'nogui' versions exist for servers, they lack graphical folder pickers and may limit usability in some setups.
