No installer, no admin rights. It updates itself. Each release lists its SHA-256 and build provenance.
Server mods (game 1.20+): the dedicated server needs its own mod.io account. On the Server page, send it a security code, start the server once with it, then subscribe the server to your mods.
Open source for non-commercial use (PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0). Forks and pull requests welcome. Bugs: Settings > "Something went wrong?" or GitHub issues.
