Content curation in CurseForge for Studios
CurseForge for Studios enhances mod discovery by enabling game studios to curate and highlight selected mods through:
-
Content discovery section - Showcase interesting and high quality content
-
Themed pages - Feature curated collections based on specific themes or events
These experiences allows you to:
- Keep content fresh by updating showcases dynamically via the server, without requiring a game client update
- Highlight hidden gems and high-quality content to boost engagement
- Recognize and spotlight mod creators, fostering a stronger community
Content discovery section
The discovery tab can be used as the welcome page to your in-game UGC experience, showcasing a curated selection of mods. These mods can be chosen by either your team or the CurseForge team. The discovery tab supports four presentation formats:
-
Carousel - Displays 1-5 mods in a rotating format, emphasizing large visuals. Each item features an image, tile, title, subtitle, and a CTA. All elements could be auto-generated or manually configured
-
Shelf - Presents mod tiles in a row with a "See All" option. Shelves can be curated or auto-generated to showcase mods by categories such as most downloaded, highest rated, or most recent.
-
Categories - Highlights specific categories of interest. Selecting a category redirects users to the mod browser with pre-applied filters for the chosen category
-
Banner - Features a large visual component and a CTA, guiding users to a designated experience. This may include filtered mod browsers or dedicated themed pages
Themed pages
Themed pages enable you to showcase a curated selection of mods based on a shared theme. Example use cases include:
- Spotlight a specific creator
- Show mods with a shared theme (i.e. “Wild wild west mods experience”)
- Holiday based themed page
- Mods that work great together
- Mods selected by the community
Each page highlights a curated selection of mods with a custom header, creating a focused browsing experience.
