🔍 How It Works

Patch D. World automatically keeps your mods up-to-date. It scans your mods/ folder, checks CurseForge for updates every few hours, and lets you update everything from an in-game menu. Before updating, it analyzes what changed and creates automatic backups so you can always rollback if needed.

⚡ What Makes It Special

✅ Smart About Restarts

We analyze each update and tell you what's up: if it's just configs or textures, no restart needed. If it's code changes, you'll need to restart.

🔗 Dependency Checking

Before updating, we check if other mods depend on it. We warn you about potential conflicts and calculate the safe update order.

📋 Changelog Display

We extract changelogs from mod files and show you what changed. Know exactly what you're getting before you update.

🎨 Clean Interface

Everything in an in-game menu with mod icons, visual cards, and real-time status updates.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🎮 Gameplay & Performance

Does this work while players are online? Yes. The mod handles updates in the background to ensure gameplay remains smooth.

No Restart Needed: For configuration changes and asset updates.
Restart Required: Only for core code changes. The mod will explicitly notify you when a restart is necessary.

Can I choose which mods to update? Absolutely. You have full control over the update process:

Bulk Update: Use the command /patch update all to sync everything.
Selective Update: Open the GUI and click on individual mods to update them one by one.

🛡️ Safety & Stability

Will it break my server? No. We’ve built-in multiple layers of protection:

Automatic Backups: Created before every single update.
One-Click Restore: If an update causes issues, revert to the previous version instantly via the Backups page.
Conflict Detection: Our system analyzes dependencies to warn you about potential compatibility issues before they happen.

Do I need a CurseForge API key? Nope. We utilize CurseForge's public API. There is no tedious authentication process—just install the mod and you’re ready to go.

🛠️ Configuration & Transparency

What about Beta or Alpha versions? By default, the mod only suggests Stable releases to keep your server safe. However, if you want to test the latest features, you can enable Beta or Alpha versions within the config file.

Where can I see the update analysis? Transparency is key. Detailed logs are sent directly to your server console, including:

Update types and changelogs.
Dependency requirements.
Specific flags indicating if a restart is required.

💬 Integrations

Does it support Discord notifications? Yes! Keep your community or staff informed without leaving Discord.

Setup: Simply paste your Discord Webhook URL into the config.
Output: The mod sends complete embeds whenever updates are discovered or successfully installed.
