A player who has 1.6.0 installed would see an update alert for 1.7.0, and a player with 1.6.1-beta would see an update alert for 2.0.0-beta. Beta channel: players with a prerelease version see update alerts for any newer version, whether prerelease or non-prerelease.įor example, let's say your mod has two current versions: 1.7.0 and 2.0.0-beta.Stable channel: players with a non-prerelease version installed only see update alerts for non-prerelease versions (unless the main mod version is prerelease).If you have both prerelease and non-prerelease versions, update checks depend on the player's installed mod version: For example, 1.0.0-beta.5 is a prerelease version of an upcoming 1.0.0. 'UpdateKeys' : SMAPI will get the version from the mod, 'main files' downloads, or 'optional files' downloads (whichever is higher).Ī prerelease version (often called an alpha or beta) has a prerelease tag in the version number.
