Modpack Version Checker
Monitor CurseForge modpack versions and get instantly notified when updates are released.
Stop manually checking CurseForge every day. Modpack Version Checker tracks your modpacks and fires a Discord alert the moment a new version drops — saving you 20+ minutes of daily maintenance.
Features
- Multi-modpack tracking — watch as many packs as you need in a single database
- Discord notifications — rich embeds with old/new version info sent automatically
- Version history — full log of every check and what version was found
- Per-modpack notification control — silence specific packs without removing them
- Built-in scheduler — runs in the background and checks on a configurable interval
- Manual override — force a check any time with
modpack-checker check - Graceful error handling — API downtime shows clear messages, never crashes
