Hello everyone! Get your modder thinking caps on! NeoForge is partnering with CreeperHost and CurseForge to bring you a brand new competition!

Serverside Summer!

The focus is on mods that run on servers without needing to be on the client and must be using an Open Source license. The competition will start on June 1st and end on July 31st. Modders will need to create mods and submit them during that time frame.

Prizes are $150 for the top 30 mods! That’s right, the total prize pool is $4500 due to gracious donations from CreeperHost and CurseForge! (Teams that made a mod will have the money divided among the team members)

More info on the rules, submission forms, and more will be announced on June 1st. Clear out a spot in your calendar for this contest if you wish to join!

Any Open Source Initiative (OSI) approved license from this list is allowed for the contest. For a guide into what an Open-Source license actually is and which ones are commonly used, check out the Open-Source License blog post here!
