Modrinth working? Error 71 wayland

Launches and then closes straight away?

kwin_wayland_wrapper: error in client communication
modrinth-app: Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.

I’m assuming you’re on a NVIDIA card? If so, this appears to be an issue between their driver, Vulkan, and Wayland’s explicit sync. You can see this Red Hat Bugzilla thread for more details: 2301725 – Error 71 (Protocol error) dispatching to Wayland display.

A possible workaround is using the GL renderer by setting GSK_RENDERER=gl (i.e., GSK_RENDERER=gl modrinth-app)

In case you’re unable to find a fix, PrismLauncher supports Modrinth modpacks and is also in Nixpkgs.
