Applicable Versions: MCA: Romantic Expansion 1.0.9+ (Minecraft 1.20.1 / 1.21.1)


Overview

This guide covers the /mcaupdate notify command, which allows players to disable or re-enable the automatic update chat message that appears on every login.

By default, update notifications are enabled for all players. The command lets each player control their own preference.


Command Syntax

text
/mcaupdate notify [true|false]

Usage Examples

Command | Effect -- | -- /mcaupdate notify | Shows your current notification status (enabled or disabled). /mcaupdate notify false | Disables the update chat message on login. You will no longer see the auto-update notification. /mcaupdate notify true | Enables the update chat message on login. You will see the notification again when an update is available.

The mod includes en_us.json and zh_cn.json translations for these keys. Other languages will fall back to English.


FAQ

Q: I disabled notifications but I'm still seeing the message. Why?
A: Check that you used /mcaupdate notify false. If you recently changed the setting, it takes effect immediately for future logins (the current session may still show the message if it was already triggered).

Q: Does disabling notifications stop the update check entirely?
A: For your login, yes — the auto-check thread does not start. However, the server may still check globally for updates (via other players or scheduled tasks), and the update data may be cached. The cached notification will also be suppressed for you.

Q: Can I use this command if I'm not an OP?
A: Yes. All players can toggle their own notification preference.

Q: How do I re-enable notifications?
A: Use /mcaupdate notify true.

Q: Where is my preference stored?
A: On the server in config/mcaromanticexpansion-update.properties. It's not client-side, so your preference follows you across any server that has this mod installed.

Q: Does this affect the /mcaupdate check command?
A: No. /mcaupdate check always works and will show you update information regardless of your notification preference.
