Stop sending mods via Discord: self-hosted MiniMin panel + one-click sync for friends

Description and use

MiniMin and MiniMin Sync simplify setting up modded Minecraft servers and distributing client builds, eliminating manual ZIP creation and Discord sharing.

Problem

Manual distribution of modded Minecraft client builds via Discord leads to version drift, crashes, and tedious updates.

Outcome

MiniMin and MiniMin Sync streamline modded Minecraft server setup and client distribution, reducing manual steps and preventing version conflicts.

Workflow

• Spin up MiniMin via Docker Compose
• Create or update a server through the web panel
• Click "create client archive" to generate a Prism-compatible archive
• Share the generated link with friends
• Friends paste link into MiniMin Sync client
• Sync downloads and applies only changed files, then launches Prism Launcher

Evidence

MiniMin is a small self-hosted panel for modded Minecraft servers. Spin up a server in Docker in a couple of clicks, hit "share client build", your friend pastes one link into MiniMin Sync and gets a ready Prism Launcher instance with auto-updates.

Source

The usual flow: 1) Someone spins up a server. 2) Mods are copied by hand into mods. 3) The client build is zipped and dropped into Discord. 4) One friend has the wrong version, another one crashes, the third one is too lazy to update.
