Check the requirements
Suggestions must meet certain requirements to be considered for Aternos. Before you make a suggestion, please check if your mod, plugin, or modpack meets the requirements.
Supported websites
To suggest something, it needs to be available on one of the supported pages. Here you can find a list of the supported websites for mods, plugins, and modpacks.
| Mods & plugins: | Modpacks: |
| curseforge.com | curseforge.com |
| modrinth.com | modrinth.com |
| spigotmc.org | technicpack.net |
| dev.bukkit.org | feed-the-beast.com |

Popularity
Suggestions should have reasonable popularity before they are added to Aternos. If a suggestion was published only a few days ago or only has a few downloads, it won't be added. There's no specific required download count, it's a case by case decision that takes many different factors into account.
Activity
Suggestions should still be actively developed and receive updates regularly. If a suggestion has been discontinued or is only available for very outdated Minecraft versions, it won't be added.
Free
Some of the supported websites might offer paid mods/plugins. Only mods/plugins that are available for free can be added to Aternos.
Server files for modpacks
Modpacks must have server files available. These files are essential for us to run the modpack. Packs available on Modrinth and ATLauncher always include server files, but on CurseForge and TechnicPack, you need to verify whether the modpack has server files.
Detailed description
Suggestions need to have a detailed English description to be accepted. This can't be replaced by a YouTube video.
