Hex Additions is a webpage listing addon mods, resource packs, data packs, and other tools for Hex Casting. It's available at https://addons.hexxy.media

Frequently people in the Hex Casting discord server ask about what addons are available. Prior to this website, back when there were maybe 5 or so addons, we had a discord bot that displayed a message listing all of the addons, but it ran out of space, motivating the creation of the website.

The website works by reading a list of addons from a json file and fetching necessary metadata from the Modrinth API (with the option to also manually provide necessary info). This makes adding new addons much easier, since most only require a link or two and maybe an alternate description.

The Modrinth API data enables a number of cool features like:

These features have helped the website grow with the hex community. At the time of writing, the addon page has nearly 60 addons and a couple dozen resource packs, data packs, and tools. Many hex creators help to maintain the page by PRing their own work, but I also do frequent searches to make sure we don't miss anything.
