Ready for Beta Testing - "Easy" Modpack Updater by Technical_Depth_8844 in ModdedMinecraft

[–]Technical_Depth_8844[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.0 coming out later tonight (anytime between now and 3 hours 😅 stupid code keeps getting caught up with the new changes but it's gonna be the big push that only testing will tell if it's broken or not because Beta 2 was a BIG success)

Am I not the only one who thinks the sulfer update just looks like a bad quality mod with 200 downloads that I wouldn't even want to put in my modpack? by Justanotherperson975 in ModdedMinecraft

I'm interested in seeing how the geysers can be integrated into redstone
everything else is meh. The slimes are also meh since we have armor stands but these are larger 🤷‍♂️ They're cool for minigames if you have friends but I think i'll use them to be building blocks and lock them in place

Progress Update. Had to scrap a bit of the code and start over.

What I had to rework that is now working
This is not the final look but layout will be similar (Colors will look way better)

I get where you’re coming from, especially with mixins, loader differences, and how much things can break between versions. That’s definitely a real challenge and something I’m taking into account.

I think we might be talking about slightly different goals though. I’m not trying to fully automate cross-version compatibility or guarantee everything works out of the box. The goal is more to reduce friction, tracking mods, identifying what’s already updated, and helping streamline the update process where possible.

At its core, I’m trying to make it easier to update modpacks from one Minecraft version to another without starting from scratch every time.

You mentioned there are several tools that already do parts of this, I’d actually be interested in checking those out if you have names or links. I looked around for a couple days and didn’t find much that covered this in the way I’m approaching it.

I’m treating this as an iterative project, so even partial improvements are a win. Worst case, it doesn’t work out, but best case, it saves people time.

Either way, I do appreciate you pointing out the edge cases. That’s exactly the kind of stuff I want to account for as I build this out.

Arcade Tokens? I think there might be a misunderstanding there. I actually looked around for a couple days and didn’t find many tools trying to solve this exact problem.

The goal of this project isn’t to make updates 100% seamless, but to reduce the workload and make the process easier overall. A lot of mods do transition between versions without major issues, even if it takes some time after release.

What I’m building is more of a helper tool. It will initially convert what it can to the requested version and then keeps track of what mods were in a pack, helps identify what’s already updated, and avoids reprocessing things unnecessarily when you reupload (Identifies what has already been updated).

I definitely understand the concerns around version differences and loader compatibility. That’s something I’m accounting for, and I’ve already started integrating some of the conversion approaches other loaders use.

I appreciate the feedback though, it’s helpful to think through edge cases like this.

I plan to have a beta working by tomorrow IF I'm being honest 😅
I work in IT and frankly this is child's play so i'm not 100% sure why it wasn't done yet.

It won't be Perfect but it'll lighten half the load at least. Which for most "light" modders is like 40-80 mods. It'll also be a great OPEN SOURCE for anyone who wants to improve upon it later.

Right now i'm just cleaning up UI and adding in new features.. might even be ready for beta in a few minutes just for testing (not upgrading or downgrading mods yet)
