Please confirm the following.

  • I checked the existing issues for duplicate problems
  • I have tried resolving the issue using the support portal
  • I have ensured my Modrinth App installation is up to date

What version of the Modrinth App are you using?

0.10.30 Flatpak

What operating systems are you seeing the problem on?

Linux

Describe the bug

Many mods require access to ~/.minecraft (such as global folder mods, cross instance resourcepacks, etc), however the current flatpak permissions do not allow this by default. I have to run flatpak override com.modrinth.ModrinthApp --filesystem=~/.minecraft to get these mods to work.

Steps to reproduce

Install modrinth flatpak
Get a mod that requires the ~/.minecraft folder permissions (EG: One World Folder)
Observe behavior indicating lack of folder permissions
Confirm by granting folder permissions (flatpak override com.modrinth.ModrinthApp --filesystem=~/.minecraft)

Expected behavior

I would assume that the app should have access to ~/.minecraft, but if it is seen as a security issue, i understand if you choose to close this as works as intended.
