A powerful web-based tool to update your Minecraft mods, discover new ones, and build modpacks with ease, all using the official Modrinth API.
This tool was built to solve two common problems for Minecraft players: the tedious process of manually updating dozens of mods, and the challenge of building a new mod list with all the correct dependencies.
MC Mod Updater provides a simple, elegant solution by allowing you to either drag-and-drop your existing .jar files, your current .mrpack, or search for new mods directly. It then uses a powerful, hash-based search to accurately identify your mods on Modrinth and find the latest compatible versions for your chosen Minecraft version and mod loader.
- 🔍 Accurate Mod Identification: Uses a hash-first search for 100% accuracy, with smart ID/Name search as fallback
- 🔗 Automatic Dependency Resolution: Automatically finds and includes required dependencies (APIs, libraries, etc.)
- 🔎 Mod Discovery: Built-in search to find and add new mods directly from Modrinth's database
