DynamicPack
A mod that monitors current versions of your resource packs and automatically updates them to the latest releases!
How It Works
Resource pack developers need to create a dynamicmcpack.json file inside the pack containing information for tracking and downloading the newest versions.
For Players
Simply install the mod — it will automatically update supported resource packs.
Known supported packs:
- Better Tables
- CursedEveryday (github)
- ModsRU
- zelda-music
- PawTotems (smp) (github)
- SPPack (smp) (github)
- Essentially Tweaked
- Vanilla Leaves
If you own a resource pack, you can configure it for automatic updates via the mod! (I might add you to this list). Check the wiki for details...
For Developers
To enable automatic updates for your pack from Modrinth, add a dynamicmcpack.json file with the following content:
{
"current": {
"version_number": "7.1" // current pack version
},
"remote": {
"game_version": "1.21.1", // game version. supports "current" and "no_specify" enum values
"modrinth_project_id": "better-leaves", // your project identifier
"type": "modrinth"
},
"formatVersion": 1 // always equals one (1)
}
⚠️⚠️⚠️ JSON specification does not support //comments! Remove them before use.
The mod also supports dynamic repositories, which is also covered in the wiki.
