Hadeks Marow (ID: 0000007467c134d2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/10/2023 Super underrated. The new page layout lacks certain navigational features. The plugin works perfectly. No button you need to click, no settings you need to enable. . . whenever you go to a curseforge page, it just auto-sends you to the legacy version. Aka, the classic one that you are here for. It works EXACTLY how you would want it to. GGs.
