Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

Mod loader

Minecraft version

⬇ Download for 1.21.9–1.21.11 · Folia⬇ Download for 1.20.5–1.21.8 · Folia⬇ Download for 1.21.9–1.21.11 · Paper⬇ Download for 1.20.6–1.21.8 · Paper⬇ Download for 1.21.9–1.21.11 · Purpur⬇ Download for 1.20.6–1.21.8 · Purpur
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

YUpdateChecker

Plugin and datapack update checker that works out of the box. No need to configure anything. Too good to be true? Well, yes. The catch is that it works only with projects downloaded from Modrinth, thanks to their awesome API.

How it works?

It's really simple. Plugin hashes a file (.jar or .zip), checks the hash using Modrinth API and logs the results. Yep, that's it. Modrinth is doing the heavy lifting by hashing every single file that is uploaded and then making it available via their API. Only caveat is - you can't change the contents of a downloaded jar or datapack. So no editing plugin.yml or MC functions. That's how hashing works, different file - different hash. I mean, you can change it of course, it just won't be picked by the plugin ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Checking updates
Gif presents an usage of the in-game commands. "/updates check" command is entered. Plugin proceeds to check updates while showing an action bar with current progress status. Upon completion a message is sent with a suggestion of running "/updates show" next. After running it, general data about the check is shown: how many plugins and datapacks were found on Modrinth, how many is up to date, and how long it took to complete the check.

Looking through results
Presented are results of "/updates show plugins" and "show datapacks". Those are split into pages of 10 items, each listed under one another, with a name of a plugin/datapack and an information whether it's up to date or whether it's X versions behind. Names of the projects can be hovered for additional info like description and current/new version numbers. When clicked it will open an url with the latest plugin/datapack version that meets the config and Minecraft version requirements.

Integrity with other plugins

I make these plugins for me, according to my needs, meaning, I don't search for every possible plugin that I don't care about, that could be somehow better integrated with mine. But, if you care about better integration between this plugin and some other, then just let me know through Discord or GitHub and I will see what I can do.

Same goes for any features that you think may be missing. If something isn't outside the scope of the plugin, then I'll probably do it.
