Update ME!

by Spellbook Studios

Update ME! shows a popup when a modpack player launches the game on an older version of the pack than the newest one.

What it does

When the game starts, Update ME! compares the installed modpack version with the newest one. It reads a text file that names the latest version, and that file location is set through a direct link in the mod's configuration. If the versions differ, the player sees a notice asking them to update the modpack before playing.

The mod is built for modpack makers who want players to notice new releases without checking a website. It runs on the client only, so a server does not need it, and it needs MidnightLib installed alongside it. Mod Menu is optional and adds a configuration screen for the mod inside the game's mod list. Update ME! is published for Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, and all rights are reserved.

Released on 2023-10-04 and last updated 2024-02-06, the mod has source code and an issue tracker available through public links.

Key features

  1. Startup update check

    On each launch the game compares the installed modpack version with the newest version named in the update file.

  2. Update popup

    When the installed version is behind, a popup appears asking the player to update the modpack before continuing.

  3. Configurable version source

    The location of the version text file is set by a direct link, so the pack maker chooses where the newest version is read from.

  4. Mod Menu integration

    With Mod Menu present, the mod's settings can be opened from the in-game mod list.

Use cases

Modpack release notices

A pack maker publishes a new version number and players see the update prompt the next time they start the game.

Players on older packs

Players who have not updated a modpack are told on launch that a newer version exists.

Who it’s for: Modpack makers who want their players informed of new releases, and players of those packs who want the prompt on launch. The mod is client-side only, so server owners do not need to install it.
