Ducky Updater: ReWork

by syorito-hatsuki

Ducky Updater: ReWork lets players update their installed mods from inside the game, without a third-party launcher, and it is built on the Modrinth API.

FabricClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.2 – 26.3

What it does

The mod checks the mods in a Fabric instance against the Modrinth API and offers newer builds to install, so updates happen in place rather than through an external program. It is an open source utility in the Cursed category, also tagged Management and Utility, and it is released under the MIT License.

Installation needs Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, which must be present alongside the mod. ModMenu Badges Lib is bundled inside the file, so it does not need a separate install. Either side can run the mod, and neither needs it. Files target 1.19.2 – 26.3 across 26 release versions, and the latest Fabric build, 2026.9.3, is for 26.3 and dated 2026-10-04.

Key features

  1. In-game mod updates

    Newer versions of installed mods can be found and installed without leaving the game or using another launcher.

  2. Modrinth API source

    Update lookups are made through the Modrinth API, so the mod works from the same catalog players already use.

  3. Command permissions

    Update actions are gated by command permissions, letting server owners decide which players may change mods.

  4. Bundled badge library

    ModMenu Badges Lib ships inside the mod, which adds badge markers to entries shown in the ModMenu list.
