Been a while since a meaningful Quadrant update. Honestly, I still have a lot that I want to implement in Quadrant, but unfortunately I had to focus on some other life stuff as well, since after all this is a project that I maintain in my free time and mostly out of boredom.

Bug fixes

A lot of important ones at that.

• "Mod installed successfully" snackbars no longer accidentally go into insane amounts (e.g 321515252)
• CurseForge search for mods no longer ignores the minor version like it does for resource packs and shaders
• Network requests are now cached much better, thus not causing rate limits on Modrinth

QoL improvements

You can now dismiss snackbars and clear their history

The new design adds a lot of animations as well as improving the OAuth page and it's stability. It also gets rid of a bunch of bad code that used to be on my website.

Exporting modpacks as a .zip archive

Now you can click on the Export button to export a modpack as a .zip archive that you can send to your friends.

Identifying existing .jar files

You can now identify existing .jar files (those that weren't installed via Quadrant). So far you can only identify the automatically found files

A lot of QoL fixes

This update also brings some useful quality of life improvements, such as:

• Remembering the last scroll position when going into a mod details page and back.
• Opening the wiki when the modpack applying fails on Windows (most likely users need to enable Developer mode to use symlinks)
• Bug fixes

The app is back on it's old Microsoft Store page

I've found a way to package the app as a .MSIX package, so a lot of people who haven't manually migrated to Quadrant Next will be moved together with this update. People who have migrated manually shouldn't move to the Microsoft Store version manually since the app will auto-update itself through the built-in updater anyway.

• 10 uses per Quadrant Share code.
• 2 modpacks synced with Quadrant Sync.

And unregistered Quadrant instances are now limited to:

• 1 use per Quadrant Share code.

This will not affect old Quadrant ID accounts, they will retain their 75 code uses and 100 synced modpacks for the foreseeable future.

These changes are due to the fact that Quadrant has been growing for the last year and I want to monetize the app in a reasonable way. I'm planning to introduce 2 monthly subscriptions for Quadrant power users. A base (plus) tier will include extended sync and share limits that are now available for OG users (so OG users will always have the "Plus" tier of the subscription) and a better tier (Pro) details of which are not ready to present yet.

Exporting modpacks as a .zip archive

Now you can click on the Export button to export a modpack as a .zip archive that you can send to your friends.

Identifying unknown mods

Now if a mod is available on Modrinth/CurseForge, but you didn't install it from Quadrant, you can identify the file, and bind it to the modpack manually.

Here's the link for Windows

Here's the link for Flatpak.

Warning: Flatpak might have login issues, but that's not confirmed/denied yet. I've yet to check this. If you're actively using Quadrant ID, consider waiting before updating. (Last time I was testing Linux there were no issues, but it's really hit or miss with handling protocols through flatpak, you might want to opt for the Fedora/Debian packages or attempt to use the AppImage).

The app is now submitted to Microsoft Store/Flathub. If you're on windows you can either wait for the new Microsoft Store version or download the app manually from my repo.

Linux users should probably wait for the Flatpak release of the app or you can try using the AppImage (however there is a chance that the AppImage might contain some weird behaviour). Either way the only version of the app that will get support in the Github Issues is the Flatpak version of the app (and the Windows build, naturally).

macOS support has been dropped, but it might come back in the future (if I get access to a macOS device, or someone submits a PR with fixes related to macOS). However, there is no ETA for macOS support, nor is it planned as a thing in the near future.

The changelog is available under my previous post.

Thank you.

However, the app is still evolving, and not only that, but I'm working on something massive. The app won't get updated until I finish working on this update locally. Meanwhile, I understand that some people may be frustrated with this fact, but I prefer the quality of the updates over their quantity. The update might not even be released in January (although it's not for certain). I'll try to keep you updated as much as I can. So far, the update is about 25-30% done.

Spoiler alert: I'm rewriting the app, instead of despaghettifying the existing code of the project.

Now, by default, if you are logged in to Quadrant ID, your settings will automatically sync with Quadrant Settings Sync, this will let you keep the same configuration across devices. You can disable this feature by going into the settings page and toggling the switch right below "Experimental Features".

Check for Quadrant Sync/Settings Sync/ID Notifications manually

Now you can right click on the tray icon and manually check for any Quadrant ID-powered changes.

Some animations were slightly changed, and some new animations were introduced

Small bug fixes here and there.
