Three things update, all by themselves:
| What | How it updates |
|---|---|
| The snap (this installer, and the MC Mods app) | Snaps update automatically in the background, a few times a day. |
| The Minecraft launcher | Each time you open Minecraft, the snap checks for a newer launcher and downloads it (the window from First Start). |
| Minecraft | Latest release always starts the newest version. Installations you made for a particular version stay on that version. |
To update the snap straight away:
sudo snap refresh mc-installer
Mods are made for one Minecraft version. Your Fabric profiles stay on their version, so a Minecraft update doesn't break them. When you want to move to a newer version, wait until your mods have a build for it, then set up Fabric for the new version in Mods and add the new builds there.
New snap versions go to the candidate channel for testing before everyone gets them. To help test:
sudo snap refresh mc-installer --candidate
Each new candidate has a Call for testing issue where you can say how it went. To go back to the normal version:
sudo snap refresh mc-installer --stable
