Forge Cortex will be a website that stores mods for Minecraft Forge for mod authors and allow them to distribute their mods to the masses. Some of the features of this site will be:
- Categories
- Highlights
- Mod Pages
- Photo Galleries
- Mod download License Agreements
- User Profiles
- Mod Pack creator
- Mod Pack hosting/downloading
- Mod Rating system
- Mod/Modpack Configurator
A user to this site should be able to browse categories, search for mods, download mods, create modpacks, and download modpacks. Mod Authors will be able to Upload their mods to the site and set up a page for that mod. A mod author can then decide if they want downloaders to agree to a license before downloading and mod authors will be able to put ads on the download links. They'll also be able to decide if they want their mod to be included in the modpack creator. A mod pack creator will be able to create mod packs on the website and configure them there directly. They'll also be able to add a license to their modpack.
- Mod Signing
- Prevent Fake mod authors from uploading someone else's mod
