Description

What does the Mod do?

This mod is designed for the automatic updating of "Client" ModPacks. These ModPacks are automatically updated whenever the "Server" ModPack is updated.

How does it work?

When the client is launched, if it detects an update, a window will pop up, notifying the player that the modpack has an update. There will also be a Update button, which will trigger the modpack update and then close Minecraft.

Server ModPack

This ModPack is actually a GitHub repository that contains a file with the server ModPack version and a folder with the mods.

How to set up the Server ModPack

  1. Create a GitHub repository. (Public)
  2. Inside the repository, create a file called version.json.
  3. In the version.json file, write the following:
{
    "version": "1.0.0"
}

(This version represents the server modpack version. You’ll need to increase this version whenever you add updates.)

Upload the mods in a compressed file named mods.zip (The mods should be directly in the main directory of the compressed file, meaning there should be no folders inside the compressed file.)

Client ModPack

This ModPack is for the player using these mods. It will include a pxl-updater.json file, where the current client version and the GitHub repository link will appear.

How to set up the Client Mod

  1. Install the mod and launch Minecraft with it for the first time.
  2. In your launcher, you’ll find a config folder, and inside it, you’ll see a file called pxl-updater.json.
  3. Edit this file to update the repositoryUrl value. The version will automatically sync to the one in the GitHub repository.
