Keep Your Mods Updated Using Update Alerts

Acting on Update Notifications

When Automatic-potato reports that a mod has a newer version available, you have the information you need to decide whether to upgrade. The console output includes the new version number and points you toward the mod's official source.

Deciding When to Update

1. Check the mod's changelog — Visit the homepage link shown in the alert to read what changed

2. Verify compatibility — Ensure the new version supports your Minecraft version and other installed mods

3. Back up your world — Before updating mods, save your world data

4. Download and replace — Get the new mod file and swap it into your mods folder

Staying Current

Make it a habit to check your console log whenever you launch Minecraft. This way you'll always know which mods have updates waiting. Regular updates often include bug fixes, performance improvements, and compatibility patches—keeping your mod list current helps prevent crashes and ensures you get the best experience from each mod.
