Getting started

Updating the modpack

When the admin says there's a new version, you update so your game matches the server. How you do it depends on how you installed:

  • Option A (script): double-click sync.bat in your modpack folder.
  • Option B (ZIP): download the ZIP again and re-copy mods and config.
  • Option C (Git): fetch + merge (or run git pull), then re-copy mods and config.

What gets reset vs. what is kept

Updating resets the shared modpack files to the server's version, so the whole group stays in sync. This means:

Don't hand-edit the shared files

Don't manually change files in the modpack folder — an update will overwrite them with the server's version.

Your own settings are kept across every update:

  • Your worlds / saves and screenshots.
  • options.txt — your keybinds and video settings.
  • Per-player *-client configs, including:
    • Your language choice (Voice Translate).
    • Your microphone / push-to-talk settings (Simple Voice Chat).

When do I need to update?

Whenever the admin pushes new or changed mods/configs and asks the group to update. If you join and something looks wrong (missing items, can't connect, version mismatch), updating is the first thing to try.

Keeping mods matched with the server

You need the same common and client-side mods the server expects, or you may not be able to connect. The update keeps these in sync for you automatically — that's the whole point of doing it through the script or Git rather than picking mods by hand.
