WebDisplays on Modrinth vs CurseForge: Where to Download?
If you've searched for WebDisplays Modrinth, you've probably noticed the mod is also on CurseForge. Which should you use? Both are legitimate. The difference is in the tools around the download.
Both are official
Maintainers upload the same releases to both platforms. Neither adds anything to the jar. What changes is how you browse files, how your launcher installs them and how you hear about updates.

When to choose Modrinth
Pick Modrinth if you install mods by hand and want to see the version, loader, dependencies and hash at a glance. Modrinth App can also add WebDisplays and MCEF together, which removes the most common setup mistake. It's the default button on our download page.
When to choose CurseForge
Pick CurseForge if your modpack already lives in the CurseForge App. Adding WebDisplays from the same platform keeps updates in one place and avoids mixing file sources, which can confuse pack updates.
Whichever you pick, verify the hash using the steps in our safe download guide, and avoid third-party mirrors entirely.
Quick answers
Is the WebDisplays file the same on Modrinth and CurseForge?
When both listings are maintained by the same developer, the files are normally identical builds uploaded to each platform. Version numbers, supported loaders and changelogs should match. If you notice a difference, trust the most recently updated official listing and compare file hashes before replacing a jar that is already in your mods folder.
Which platform should I use to download WebDisplays?
Either is fine as long as you use the official project page. Modrinth offers a lightweight website and clear version filters, while CurseForge integrates with its own launcher for one-click modpack management. Choose the platform that matches the launcher you already use so updates and dependencies are easier to track.
