How to create an Auto Updater?

[Jester]

I know the basic to download a file and output him bytes, but how i get my mod file?

 

i tried using ClassLoader but i can't identify my mod by name, because the user can rename it.

 

Any ideas?

I think the answer is probably "don't".

 

Use Forge's Update Checker to let players know when there's an update available and let them download it themselves.

I need force the player to update, and in 1.7.10 doesn't have updateJSON parameter
