Update Notifier Setup - ModpackUtils

On Modrinth/CurseForge

Let's start with a simple setup, for a modpack that is hosted on Modrinth/CurseForge.

This is the default config screen:

Let's start by enabling the Menu Alert and Chat Alert options.
- Menu Alert shows a toast notifying you that an update is available.
- Chat Alert shows a chat message every time you join a world.

Info

Tip! You can hover over other options to see what they do, by looking at the sidebar on the right.

Set the Modpack Name and Modpack ID to your respective modpack's details.
- Here, Modpack ID is your project's slug. https://modrinth.com/modpack/<slug>
The Local Version field is filled with the current version of the modpack. This is updated every time you upload a new version.
Minecraft Version Check, as the name suggests, fetches the modpack version compatible with the current Minecraft version.
Loader fetches the modpack version compatible with the current modloader, (fabric, neoforge or forge).
Version Types, by default, fetches all types of releases (release, beta and alpha), which may not be desired. You can remove beta and alpha, if it is a stable release.
Display Name Filters fetches the modpack version with the display name containing all the filters here. This option can be set empty to disable it.
Version Number Filters fetches the modpack version containing all the filters here. This option can also be set empty to disable it.
If everything was done correctly, you should see a chat message when you join a new world.

Warning

Don't see anything? It might be because you're using the same version in the Local Version field as the current version on Modrinth. Try setting Local Version to an older version.

On Any Other Platform

If your modpack is hosted on any platform other than Modrinth, you can use the Custom option in the Platform setting. This option also supports Packwiz!

You'll notice that some options have been greyed out, while some new options have appeared.

For the existing options, you can refer to what we did in the Modrinth section. Now, let's look at the new options:

Modpack Home: This is the link to the home page/description of your website, where your modpack is available for download.
Version API: If you're using Packwiz, you can use the link to your pack.toml file. If you aren't using Packwiz, you can just create a new .txt file with the version field.

For example,
📄 pack.txt
```
version = "1.0.0"
```
Changelog Link: This is the link to your latest changelog file. This same file is updated with every new version published. This file should not be renamed.

Now, you should be all set! If you still have any questions or if something goes wrong, you can ask for help on our Discord server.
