Auto-updating mods on Modrinth Launcher? 1.20.6 -> 1.21
Is it possible for the Modrinth Launcher to automatically update mods to the new version after you change the Minecraft version in options? Obviously not all will have updates but it still seems to think I'm on 1.20.6 rather than 1.21 (see 2nd pic).

use prism launcher, its awesome and doesnt have this issue atleast (and works with non modrinth modpacks aswell)
im a fan of the modrinth launcher so far
have you used prism?
nope
ive tried prism, and tbh i fkn hate it
i heard lots of great things so i tried it one day, and was like wtf why do people like it
ui is just not good, its just a fork of multimc. only thing going for it is not buggy and it supports curseforge packs natively. modrinth app still super in alpha and surprisngly has very few bugs. Its quite impressive how nice it is with how new it is. got lots of room to grow. Unfortunately it'll never support curseforge packs. so what i do, is use prism, install the curseforge pack, then import it into modrinth so i can use an actual nice launcher
when u switch the versions, try restarting the app. you should see an Update All button in the profile page.
The only issue then is if certain mods haven't update, modrinth doesnt auto disable those mods. So you'll have to manually disable them. Moreso an issue with the mods not updating, (or the developers not properly updating it on the site) not a launcher problem
i ended up doing it myself
That's what I love from prism lol
Extremely simple UI, learning it took me no time
And it's beyond light weight. This is vital for my craptop
eh, simple ya, not intuitive at all tho and pretty low quality. it just works. thats it. (which is a very valid selling point) to me just feels like a shitty DIY project u do at home. works great, but if u had the option to have the real deal you'd take the offer. you only settle for DIY stuff if u cant afford, or other stuff doesnt work
also modrinth launcher is riddled with ads and bulky ui. at least prism is customizable, minimalist, and lightweight
"modrinth launcher is riddle with ads" ??? XD
u can flame the ui, or bugs or being lightweight, but saying/complaining about it being riddled with ads just completely invalidates ur entire argument. i hope ur confusing it with the curseforge launcher.
any ads = too many ads
yet u use discord 🙂
theres not a single instrusive ad in the modrinth app
keep coping with your shitty prism launcher
there’s only a single ad. On every mod/modpack page there’s a very very small/minimalistic static banner (that’s built into the ui, so not distinguishable as an ad)
And 100% of the net profit after paying for the site/modrinth goes directly to the developers of the mods/plugins.
exactly, its a win win
non intrusive
Yeah, I agree, there are still ads tho
🤔

Complaining about the ads on modrinth is funny tho. When entire philosophy of modrinth is to have as little ad real estate as possible with the only intention to keep the site afloat. Not be greedy. They even have strict guidelines on the maximum size of ads allowed on a page, (can’t be greater than 120px tall banner)
This can include ads project authors themselves included on description
oh
that's not something modrinth controls
yeah

They’ll also never mix it into content, which is huge
IT'S NOT SHITTY
WHY'S IT SHITTY
it literally WORKS
IT RUNS ON MY CRAPTOP
Although i also use the modrinth launcher tbf~
It's pretty~
shitty??
I KNOW
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY CALL IT SHITTY
A SHITTY ONE IS TLAUNCHER
or the vanilla one
either is fine
prism is great
Modrinth is great
you can download modpacks from both
download modpacks from both
install different mod launchers from both
launch different versions from both
they are just different bits of software with more or less the same objectives & features
