CGUpdater

Note: For newer versions of Minecraft (1.8+) this mod is included in the cgutils mod

This mod is designed to automatically download various files from a web server directly into the game. This allows updating configuration files, Minetweaker scripts, and other resources without the need to reinstall the entire modpack.

Key Features

The mod is particularly useful for server owners where multiple administrators can quickly make changes to settings and crafting recipes. Updates are applied instantly, and players don't need to leave the server or reinstall the modpack.

In the settings, you can create file groups that are downloaded with a single command, significantly simplifying the configuration management process. The /directupdate command is also available for individual file downloads.

Operational Features

• File downloading is available only to server administrators
• Files with the same names are automatically overwritten during download
• Support for various types of configuration files and scripts
