Publishing and sharing creations
When Orca finishes a build it hands you a finished, signed file and a saved project in your workspace. From there you can share it with the world. Publishing puts your mod, plugin, datapack, resource pack, modpack, custom mob, or texture in the public gallery free, in one click, where anyone can find it, play it, host it, or download it.
Every published creation gets its own page and lives under your creator profile, so a single link sends a friend straight to your work. Downloads are free for everyone, including signed-out visitors, and each page carries Play, Host, Edit, and Download buttons so people can do something with your creation the moment they land on it.
Publish to the public gallery
Open any creation in your saved workspace and publish it in one click. It goes live in the public gallery free, no card, no review queue you have to wait on before you can share the link. Browsers can find it next to the 39,000+ mods, modpacks, plugins, datapacks, resource packs, and shaders you can already browse on Orca.
Everything you publish is moderated, and every build is malware and RCE scanned before it ships, so the file someone downloads is the signed file Orca built.
- A shareable page per creation, with an SEO-friendly URL you can post anywhere.
- A creator profile that collects all of your published work in one place.
- Free downloads for anyone, including signed-out visitors, with no account required.
- Play, Host, Edit, and Download buttons on every creation page.
What the buttons on a creation page do
Each published page gives a visitor four ways to use your creation right away.
- Play: launch it in the free desktop client, on Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon), or Linux.
- Host: spin up an Orca server and put the creation on it.
- Edit: open it in the in-browser file and texture editor to remix it (where the license allows).
- Download: grab the finished file free, no sign-in needed.
Make a creation private
By default a published creation is public. If you would rather keep a mod to yourself, Orca Pro lets you make it private so it stays out of the gallery and off your public profile. See pricing for what Pro includes. You can keep building and downloading your own private work the same way; only the public listing changes.
The My Creations dashboard
My Creations is the home for everything you have made. It lists your builds and their published state, and it is where you publish, share, or take something down. You manage each creation from here rather than hunting through chats.
- See every mod, plugin, pack, mob, and texture you have built.
- Publish a creation to the gallery or pull a listing back down.
- Open the shareable page and copy the link for a friend.
- Jump back into a saved project to keep editing or rebuild.
Reporting content
Every creation page has a report button. If something published breaks the rules, anyone can flag it and Orca's moderation team reviews it. This sits on top of the automatic moderation and malware scanning that runs on everything published, so the gallery stays safe for a community built for ages 12 to 19.
