ferium VS Launcher

Not sure exactly what you're looking for, but I think my mod manager ferium. It is a CLI though, but you are on Linux after all so I assume you should be fine with it. Ferium will add all the required dependencies of a mod, it will prompt you for optional dependencies, and you can also add any other mods and they will all be stored in one nice file. You can then upgrade to the latest versions at any time.

curseforge is bloat, use Ferium

(I recommend Ferium)

dont use repeat mods, remove the older teralith, also update all of your mods, I recomend ferium

not to sound annoying, but i reccomend https://github.com/gorilla-devs/ferium it works with any launcher and is like really easy

On the topic of updating mods, are you tired of performing that repetitive task? If you’re not already using it, I can recommend ferium. It’s a command line mod management utility that keeps your mods up to date with a command. It is also open source. https://github.com/gorilla-devs/ferium

GD is too busy for my taste--I'm honestly looking at some command-like launchers like ferium (also from GorillaDevs) or portablemc (because 🐍 python 🐍), but I'm also giving it a day to see how quickly "PlaceholderMC"* gets off the ground.

ferium isn't a launcher, it's a command line mod manager/updater, but it does support curse and handling modpacks, just point it to an instance's mods folder https://github.com/gorilla-devs/ferium/

Ferium?

If you cannot - https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/wiki/Unsupported-Intel-GPUs

MultiMC

maybe : https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/issues/41

Here is a link to Modloader for MCb173. It needs adding directly into the minecraft.jar file, however if you use a launcher like MultiMC, which you can find here: https://multimc.org/ then there is an option to 'add to minecraft jar file' which does the same thing.

I used to have this issue lots, and it was due to my internet being too restrictive. The Minecraft Launcher was refusing to open, and I fixed it by messing with the restrictions until it worked. Hopefully this helps :) if all else fails of course, try just reinstalling it! I’m sure that all your config files don’t get affected by reinstalling it, but just in case make a backup. And if all ELSE ELSE fails, you could switch to a completely different launcher, like MultiMC! Good luck!

If you are willing to try out the launcher - MultiMC which you can find here (there is a Mac option available) : https://multimc.org/ then I have put together an MCb173 pack that has been made for MultiMC. You just use the 'import from zip' option.

Download MultiMC from their official site https://multimc.org/

Others than that, if you insist, you can take a look at the launcher which u/reginakinhi provided or find others on the internet (GitHub for example). Since PrismLauncher is written in C++, and if you are not familiar with it, you should see other launcher as well. Or else https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher is an alternate.

The best way to experience beta 173 is to play beta 173, and perhaps add some mods to it a little later. One of the better launchers to use for old versions and for playing modded is to use the MultiMC launcher which you can find here: https://multimc.org/

This will only assist if you are using MultiMC as your Minecraft launcher as it is a MultiMC instance which you can use the 'import from zip' option. MultiMC can be found here: https://multimc.org/ It includes IC2 1337 with several add-on mods which have also been back-ported to work with it, such as the Thermometer, Advanced machines, etc. You can disable the add-ons you do not wish included. There is also buildcraft and redpower added as well.
