modupdater-mc

A tool for updating manually-downloaded Minecraft mods from curseforge to their latest versions, using Selenium and CurseProxy. It is currently in a beta state, and I cannot recommend that anybody use this program without first creating a backup of their mods folder. Because of the amount of mods that are not on Curseforge, and the amount of mods that have peculiarities in the API, this is not guaranteed to and probably won't update all of your mods, but it will do a lot of the work for you. After the mods are updated, it will display a list of skipped mods, that you can then download manually.

Prerequisites

• Minecraft installed with mods (Obviously)
• If using from source, you will need:
  • Python 3.8 installed
  • to install selenium via pip/pip3 with the command pip3 install selenium on Linux and pip install selenium on Windows
  • to install wget via pip/pip3 with the command pip3 install wget on Linux and pip install wget on Windows
  • You will also need to install the Gecko webdriver by Mozilla. That process is explained in this StackOverflow question/answer. After this is done, you will need to specify the path to the webdriver in the options.txt file if you are on Windows. If you are on Linux, all you will need to do is run sudo apt install firefox-geckodriver. You can also download the geckodriver binaries for all OSes from here.

This does not currently and will not ever work with mods from sites that aren't Curseforge.
Known mods that do not work either because of them not being on Curseforge or some other API error: Aether Legacy (API Error), Aroma1997Core (API Error), Aroma1997 Dimensional Worlds (API Error), The Betweenlands (API Error), ConnectedTexturesMod (API Error), Galacticraft and MicdooldleCore (Not on Curseforge), Portal Gun (API Error), and OptiFine (Not on CurseForge, though I may be able to work up something for OptiFine eventually).
These mods will simply be ignored in the event that they are present in your mods folder.

#### Help! I keep trying to update my mods, but I keep getting the HTTPConnectionPool/MaxRetryError message!
I am currently working on fixing this, so hang tight.

I fixed this problem in the most recent patch.
