I got tired of manually updating my modpack server every time a new version dropped, so I wrote a script that does it automatically via the CurseForge

[/u/AzLeCurieux]

Every time a new version of my modpack dropped, the process was the same:​

1. 
   Notice there's a new version (sometimes days late)
   
   
2. 
   Download the server pack manually
   
   
3. 
   Pray I don't accidentally overwrite my world
   
   
4. 
   Forget to back up first
   
   
5. 
   Fix whatever I broke
   

So I wrote a small Bash script that handles all of it automatically.

What it does:

- Queries the CurseForge API to check if a new server pack is available

- If already up to date → exits silently (perfect for cron)

- If a new version is found → backs up your world first, downloads the pack, stops the server, applies the update while preserving your world/whitelist/configs, then restarts

I use it with All of Create: Aeronautics but it works with any modpack that publishes a server pack on CurseForge (ATM, Vault Hunters, FTB, etc.).

Happy to answer questions or take feedback — it's a first release, there's probably edge cases I haven't thought of.
