# 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.

<p class="callout info">These instructions assume you followed the install directions in our [Setup page](https://everwildsmp.com/books/guidebook/page/setup "Setup"). If you've customized your install from that they may not apply fully.</p>

### Update Steps

1. Grab a copy of the latest modpack. (You can do this by following the instructions for [first time setup](https://everwildsmp.com/books/guidebook/page/setup "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  
    <table border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 225.4px;"><colgroup><col style="width: 50%;"></col><col style="width: 50%;"></col></colgroup><thead><tr style="height: 29.8px;"><td style="height: 29.8px;">**File or Folder**</td><td style="height: 29.8px;">**Content**</td></tr><tr style="height: 29.8px;"><td style="height: 29.8px;">options.txt</td><td style="height: 29.8px;">your keybinds and other settings
    
    </td></tr><tr style="height: 29.8px;"><td style="height: 29.8px;">config/</td><td style="height: 29.8px;">mod configuration settings
    
    </td></tr><tr style="height: 46.6px;"><td style="height: 46.6px;">Distant\_Horizons\_server\_data/</td><td style="height: 46.6px;">your LOD data from Distant Horizons (extended render distance)
    
    </td></tr><tr style="height: 29.8px;"><td style="height: 29.8px;">emotes/</td><td style="height: 29.8px;">If you've added any custom emotes, they're in here
    
    </td></tr><tr style="height: 29.8px;"><td style="height: 29.8px;">screenshots/</td><td style="height: 29.8px;">Preserve your screenshots!
    
    </td></tr><tr style="height: 29.8px;"><td style="height: 29.8px;">xaero/</td><td style="height: 29.8px;">your mini-map and world map data
    
    </td></tr></thead></table>
    
    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
