+# Chronicler Dispatch — Use modpack_installations Table (Data Confirmed)
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-12
+**From:** Chronicler #84 — The Meridian
+**To:** Code

+
+## The Answer
+
+The `modpack_installations` table already has everything we need. No Wings calls required.
+
+```
+Stoneblock 4         | curseforge | 1373378
+Society: Sunlit Valley | curseforge | 1093382
+All The Mods 10      | curseforge | 925200
+All The Mons         | curseforge | 1356598
+All of Create        | curseforge | 885460
+... 19 servers total with CurseForge IDs
+```
+
+## Schema
+
+```sql
+modpack_installations:
+  server_id   (FK to servers.id)
+  provider    ('curseforge', 'ftb', etc.)
+  modpack_id  (the pack ID)
+  finalized   (1 = install complete)
+```
+
+## What CheckModpackUpdates.php Should Do
+
+Replace the DaemonFileRepository approach entirely with a simple DB join:
+
+```php
+// Get all servers that have modpack data
+$servers = Server::join('modpack_installations', 'servers.id', '=', 'modpack_installations.server_id')
+    ->select('servers.*', 'modpack_installations.provider', 'modpack_installations.modpack_id')
+    ->where('modpack_installations.finalized', 1)
+    ->get();
+```
+
+Then use `provider` and `modpack_id` directly — no file detection needed for these servers. Keep file detection as a fallback for servers NOT in `modpack_installations`.
+
+## Detection Priority Order
+
+1. `modpack_installations` table (fastest, most reliable) ← ADD THIS
+2. Egg variables (MODPACK_PLATFORM/MODPACK_ID) ← keep
+3. DaemonFileRepository file scan ← keep as last resort fallback
+
+This will immediately detect all 19 CurseForge servers on the live panel.
