A simple and barebones Command Line Tool to automatically update all minecraft mods in a folder, using the Modrinth API.
To get started, install the executable file from Releases page. After downloading the executable, put it inside the .minecraft folder (or where your Minecraft instance is located) and just double click to update to latest version. For more control, open the terminal in the executable directory, and run it using: Modupdater.exe and optionally add any argument. The run logs will be saved at ./mod_updater.log. If you want to have access to the script everywhere, put it inside a folder of your choice and add the folder to PATH.
Otherwise, if you want even more control, or don't want to run random executables, follow the steps below.
