Updating mods

[CreepersRule]

Is there any way that I can update mods without going to Curse every single day to download the latest version of that mod?

Most mods have an update checker integrated that will tell you when an update is available.

 

You can also use the Twitch/Curse launcher to create a custom pack with the mods you want and it will AFAIK also notify you and make downloading easier.

But then how do I get the mods from Twitch into the mods folder?

The Twitch/Curse launcher will notify you if there's a mod update. If you click the button to update, it automatically removes the old version and replaces it with the new version.

I meant the mods folder for Forge, but that helps.

How do I put the mods I installed from Twitch into the .minecraft/mods folder?

[larsgerrits]

You shouldn't. If you have a profile in the Curse/Twitch launcher, you can just click run and it opens the Minecraft launcher with the correct information, so you can just run the game.

There is a way to move mods from the Twitch directory to the standard, but I don't have my notes on me at the moment.

But since I preferred the standard (since I find it easier to navigate,) I did code myself some PowerShell scripts to keep up to date.

It's my opinion. I never said you should, just that it can be done with enough poking around.

I'm just not entirely familiar with the Curse/Twitch launcher.

Twitch client, Minecraft, right click Minecraft profile, Open Folder.

That's how you find the directory for a Twitch Minecraft.
