I'm working on Prismix, a declarative PrismLauncher config framework

This is great; I've been waiting for this to be picked up for a while. The only thing Prism now lacks is application-layer sandboxing for Java mods, whose importance was shown post-Fracturizer. Perhaps this is something that could be done with Nix too, with a runtime injection into the mods' prologues that interfaces with a shared coremod library. The principal issue with this approach would be JRE privilege escalation requirements. But this is putative, and I'm glad this project targets a few steps that would otherwise be preliminary.

How to use both unstable-nixpkgs and stable-nixpkgs in your flake.nix and configuration.nix

You can combine this with Nixhub to find the precise commit of nixpkgs, if you need a copy of stable for a specific package! For example, I needed to get draw.io before it changed its license to a non-FOSS, so I pinned it to a specific commit hash.

The commit hash goes in the configuration like this (example): nixpkgs-lvm.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/2fbfb1d73d239d2402a8fe03963e37aab15abe8b";
