Updates without the wipe

Update modpacks.
Keep your configs.

The classic updater pain: you update, and hours of carefully tweaked keybinds, graphics settings and mod configs evaporate. XMlauncher merges updates intelligently and keeps a rollback timeline.

Smart merge, not a blind overwrite

When a modpack update lands, XMlauncher separates pack-owned files from files you've touched. Pack changes (new mod versions, updated defaults) are applied; your local changes to configs are preserved — and where both changed, you get a clear conflict instead of a silent loss.

A git-like timeline

  • Every update is a snapshot — the pre-update state is kept, not discarded
  • One-click rollback — if 1.2.1 misbehaves, go back to 1.2.0 instantly
  • History stays local — snapshots live on your disk, no account needed

How to use it

  1. Open the Modpacks engine and pick your pack.
  2. When an update is available, review what changed before applying it.
  3. If anything feels off afterwards, roll back from the pack's history timeline.

Fixes in one click

When this feature detects the problem, these are the actions it can apply for you.

  • Rollback to previous snapshot — restores the exact pre-update state of the pack
  • Re-apply preserved configs — restores your tuned settings if an update clobbered them
