ModUpdaterFabric
by TheExpert9
Players who keep many Fabric mods current can use ModUpdaterFabric to check and apply mod updates from inside the game, without leaving Minecraft.
What it does
ModUpdaterFabric checks installed mods against Modrinth in-game, matching each file to its exact game version, and then fetches and applies updates with a single button press. Checks run in parallel and are reported quickly, with live progress tracking while files are fetched through a multi-threaded asynchronous manager.
The mod shows its interface through Mod Menu when Mod Menu is installed, and its settings can be changed through YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) when that library is present. Iris Shaders is optional and is not needed for updates. The mod requires Fabric API. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it and players install it alone. Files are published for Fabric only, for 26.1 – 26.3 (5 release versions), under the MIT License; the code is not open source. The latest file is 1.3.1 for 26.3, published 2026-10-02.
Key features
In-game update checks
Installed mods are checked for updates from inside Minecraft, with a simple screen that lists what is available.
One-button apply
A fetched update is applied automatically after a single press, and the mods folder is kept in order during the change.
Parallel fetching
Several updates are fetched at the same time through a multi-threaded asynchronous manager, with live progress shown for each file.
Exact version matching
Each mod is matched to the version that fits the current game build, so updates that do not fit are not offered.

Use cases
Keeping a modpack current
A player who maintains a set of Fabric mods on 26.3 can check all of them at once instead of visiting each project page.
Who it’s for: Players running Fabric clients who want updates checked and applied without leaving the game. Server owners do not need the mod, since it is client-side only.
