Proud of you all

Earlier this month, we announced that we would be raising money for Rainbow Railroad throughout Pride Month.

When we created our campaign, we wanted to set a realistic goal, so we started at $5,000.

You hit it within 3 hours, before Pride Month had even begun. So we raised the goal to $10,000 - and less than an hour into June 1st (UTC), this was achieved.

We were completely astounded and, honestly, lost for words.

Your Accomplishments

Together, you helped fund work that supports LGBTQIA+ people facing danger around the world. That can mean emergency support, temporary safe housing, travel documents, crisis response, local partner networks, and relocation pathways when staying where they are is no longer safe.

Thank you to all of our top donors!

By the end of the campaign, you raised over $40,000 for Rainbow Railroad. We thank all 2,478 who donated, no matter how big or small - you should all be incredibly proud.

Modrinth’s total made up nearly half of Rainbow Railroad’s entire total for their Solidarity in Pride event on Tiltify of $80,000. Absolutely incredible!

Mr. Pack

Historically, Modrinth has had a Frog mascot for many years. It has appeared across our branding, social posts, Discord emotes, seasonal artwork, and community memes, but it never really had a proper name or identity.

Mr. Pack was created as a small thank-you to everyone who supported the fundraiser: a new mascot skin for the Modrinth App, with several Pride variants available to donors who donated more than $5. Mr. Pack is the 5th most popular skin on NameMC for June 2026 - over 4,000 players are using him and his variants!

All of Mr. Pack’s variants (MLM, Genderfluid, Lesbian, Transgender, Asexual, Intersex, Pride, Bisexual, and Nonbinary) posed and lined up in a row.

Special thanks to Drago for creating Mr. Pack’s updated design and pride variants.

Badges and Modrinth+

Everyone who donated to the fundraiser, regardless of the amount, received the limited Pride 2026 badge on their Modrinth profile as a thank you for supporting Rainbow Railroad. We also gave eligible donors a free month of Modrinth+ as an additional thank you - if you have this badge, you are a very cool person.

Pride Collection

This year, we launched our Pride Collection, an assortment of queer content hosted on Modrinth and submitted to us by our amazing community of creators.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their projects; we look forward to adding even more content to this collection in the years to come!

Pride Is All Year

Rainbow Railroad’s work continues all year round, and LGBTQIA+ people around the world continue to face danger simply for being who they are. This fundraiser was one way for us to turn Pride into practical support, but it cannot be the only time we show up. Pride month may be over, but the fight continues.

Modrinth is home to queer creators, players, developers, moderators, artists, and community members. They are part of what makes this platform what it is, and supporting them should not be limited to one month of the year.

If you’d still like to support this cause, you can donate to Rainbow Railroad at any time - and we encourage you to do so.

Thank you for what has been an incredible Pride month, and we look forward to doing even more next year. 💚
