## What it is
Ferium is a fast, multi-source command-line program for downloading and updating Minecraft mods and modpacks from Modrinth, CurseForge, and GitHub Releases. It manages mod profiles and upgrades all configured mods to the latest compatible versions in a single command using multithreaded downloads.

## Use cases
- download and update all my minecraft mods in one command
- manage minecraft mods from modrinth and curseforge via cli
- install a modpack from curseforge or modrinth
- keep mods compatible with my minecraft version and mod loader
- script automated mod downloads for a server or launcher
- add mods from github releases to my mod folder

## When to choose
- you want a fast, scriptable CLI instead of a GUI mod manager
- your mods come from multiple sources like Modrinth, CurseForge, and GitHub Releases
- you maintain several mod profiles across different Minecraft versions or loaders

## When to avoid
- you prefer a graphical mod manager integrated into a launcher
- you need mods from sources other than Modrinth, CurseForge, or GitHub Releases
