Description

Currently, Modrinth automatically generates the meta title and meta description for mod/plugin pages. While this works well by default, it limits creators who want to optimize their pages for search engines more deliberately.

I’d like to request advanced SEO settings that allow authors to manually override the meta title and meta description for their projects.

Why this is useful

• Better SEO for competitive keywords (especially for popular plugins/mods)
• Clearer control over how projects appear in search engine results
• Helps plugin developers target specific use-cases, versions, or platforms
• Useful for larger projects and organizations managing multiple mods

Describe the solution you'd like

Proposed solution

Add optional fields in the project settings, for example:

• Custom Meta Title
• Custom Meta Description

Behavior

• If these fields are filled in, Modrinth uses them for the <title> tag and <meta name="description">
• If left empty, Modrinth falls back to the current automatic generation

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Changing plugin name in plugin settings
• Changing plugin summary in plugin settings

Additional context

Example use case

A plugin author wants to rank for:

“Minecraft economy plugin with dynamic pricing”

Instead of relying on an auto-generated title/description, they could explicitly set:

• Meta title: EzShops - Advanced Minecraft Economy Plugin
• Meta description: EzShops is a powerful Minecraft economy plugin supporting dynamic pricing, GUI shops, Vault, and modern server versions.

Additional notes

• Could be hidden behind an “Advanced” toggle to keep the UI clean
• Permissions could be limited to project owners/editors
• "Google preview" can be added to see upfront how it will look in Google

Thanks for considering this feature, it would significantly improve discoverability and professional presentation for Modrinth projects 🙌
