Mods Updater

by erruqie

Mods Updater checks the mods installed in a Fabric 26.1.2 client against Modrinth and reports which ones have newer builds available.

What it does

When a player joins a world, the mod compares each installed Fabric mod against Modrinth and shows a toast notification if updates are waiting. The lookup first matches each jar by its file hash against Modrinth version files and the update endpoint, and falls back to a slug-based search for mods whose hash does not match any known build. Mods that cannot be identified in either way are left out of the report.

The mod is a client-side tool for single-player and multiplayer players who want an overview of outdated mods without checking each project page. Mods Updater requires Fabric Loader 0.19.2 on Minecraft 26.1.2, along with Fabric API, while ModMenu is an optional addition that brings a recommended UI screen. Only the client needs it; a server can run without it. The code is open source under the MIT License, and the build output is a single jar in build/libs.

Key features

  1. Hash-based update check

    Each installed jar is matched by its hash against Modrinth version files, so exact builds are identified.

  2. Slug fallback lookup

    Mods without a hash match are searched by slug on Modrinth, so renamed or rebuilt jars can still be found.

  3. Join-time notification

    A toast appears when the world loads and reports that updates are available for installed mods.

  4. Bilingual interface

    The interface ships in one locale bundle with English and Russian text.

How it compares

Full comparison

Music Notifications is also a client-side Fabric mod for 26.1.2 under the MIT License, but it alerts on music and does not check for mod updates. Runtime Hash Updater is open source under CC0 1.0 Universal and covers Fabric 1.19 – 26.3, though it is server-side only. Mod Manager By OrigamiKing3612 is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.20.1 under the Apache License 2.0, so it targets an older game version.
