FAQ
What modpack providers does this support?
- Just Modrinth.
See Why
This mod only supports Modrinth modpacks for a few reasons.
1: The Modrinth app is the primary sufferer (or at least it was the last time I used it) of the issue this is addressing (that being no obvious visual cue that there is a new version). While some third-party launchers also suffer from this issue, the CurseForge app does an excellent job of showing when there are updates.
2: CurseForge is very strict about using their API; you have to apply to get access, and then if you get it and your connection is being used too much, they may charge you. Additionally, their terms state that only people who are 18 and older can even get an API key, which would limit which pack devs can use it. It is simply not worth the hassle of me getting a key to develop it or any pack devs getting a key to use it.

Does Am I Up To Date? need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks Am I Up To Date? as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does Am I Up To Date? require?
Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.3-snapshot-9, 26.3-snapshot-8, 26.3-snapshot-7. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
Am I Up To Date? is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
