Updating The Modpack

Since MultiMC and Prism Launcher don't offer built-in update methods, updating our modpack on either of those launchers is a manual process. The steps below will help you preserve your map data and other settings between versions.

These instructions assume you followed the install directions in our Setup page. If you've customized your install from that they may not apply fully.

Update Steps

  1. Grab a copy of the latest modpack. (You can do this by following the instructions for first time setup if you need them)
  2. In the MultiMC launcher, with the old instance selected, click the Minecraft Folder button in the right sidebar
  3. Copy the following folders and files using Ctrl+C
    File or Folder Content
    options.txt

    your keybinds and other settings

    config/

    mod configuration settings

    Distant_Horizons_server_data/

    your LOD data from Distant Horizons (extended render distance)

    emotes/

    If you've added any custom emotes, they're in here

    screenshots/

    Preserve your screenshots!

    xaero/

    your mini-map and world map data

    If you've added any custom resource packs or other assets, you can also copy those at this time.

  4. Back in the MultiMC launcher, with the new instance selected, click the Minecraft Folder button in the right sidebar
  5. Paste your copied files into the new instance folder using Ctrl+V
