Description
World Updater adds a craftable tool (also available in Creative) that you can make from redstone, copper, amethyst, and iron to automatically bring your world up to the latest version. Use (interact with) the World Updater to open an in-game menu that lets you run a local update, view the update log, or reset the log; running an update starts a timed scan of the nearby loaded area with on-screen progress, plays feedback sounds, grants a small XP reward, and safely repairs common post-update hazards like stray fire, soul fire, and cobweb snags. All completed runs, scanned block counts, and applied fixes are recorded in a persistent world update log so you can track and repeat maintenance across sessions.

World Updater
Quickstart
- Gather redstone, copper ingots, an amethyst shard, and an iron ingot.
- Craft the World Updater at a crafting table:
- Hold the World Updater and use (interact) with it to open the updater menu.
- Select Run Local Update to begin scanning the area around you. After about 6 seconds you'll hear a level-up sound, see a results summary on screen, and earn a small XP reward.
The World Updater is also available directly from the Creative inventory under the Items tab.
Overview
World Updater is a single-item utility mod that gives you an in-hand tool for scanning and repairing hazardous legacy blocks in your loaded world area. Each time you run an update, the tool sweeps a zone around your position, removes dangerous blocks left over from world generation or older saves, and logs everything it does so you can track maintenance across play sessions.
What It Adds
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| World Updater | A handheld tool that opens an update menu when used. Stacks to 1. Has a short cooldown between uses. |
How To Use
Opening the Menu
Hold the World Updater in your hand and use it (right-click / tap the interact button). A menu titled World Updater appears with three options:
| Option | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Run Local Update | Starts a timed scan of the area around you. |
| View Update Log | Displays lifetime stats: runs completed, blocks scanned, and fixes applied. |
| Reset Log | Zeroes out all stored statistics for a fresh start. |
If another screen is open when you try to use the tool, close it first and try again.
Running an Update
After you choose Run Local Update:
- A scan begins centered on your current position.
- Progress is shown in your action bar. Stay nearby while the scan runs — it takes approximately 6 seconds.
- A start sound plays immediately; a level-up sound plays when the scan finishes.
- On completion you receive 5 XP and a detailed chat message listing how many blocks were scanned and what repairs were made.
Scan Area
Each run covers a horizontal radius of 7 blocks and a vertical radius of 3 blocks around the point where you started the scan. Up to 48 fixes can be applied in a single run. Run the updater again from a different location to cover more ground.
Abilities And Mechanics
Hazard Repair
The updater automatically removes the following problematic blocks when it finds them inside the scan area:
| Block Found | Action Taken |
|---|---|
| Fire | Extinguished (removed) |
| Soul Fire | Extinguished (removed) |
| Cobweb | Cleared (removed) |
If none of these blocks are found in the scanned area, the completion message will note that no hazardous legacy blocks were present.
Persistent Update Log
Every completed run is recorded in your world's save data:
- Runs Completed — total number of times an update has finished.
- Blocks Scanned — cumulative total of all blocks examined.
- Fixes Applied — cumulative total of all hazardous blocks removed.
These numbers persist between sessions and across multiple players in the same world. Use Reset Log from the menu to clear them whenever you want to start fresh tracking.
Progression And Strategy
- Cover new chunks first. The scan radius is limited, so walk through unexplored or recently loaded areas and fire off the updater regularly to clear hazards as you go.
- Watch the fix cap. A maximum of 48 fixes apply per run. In heavily affected areas, run the updater multiple times from nearby positions to catch everything.
- Track coverage with the log. The View Update Log option gives you a running tally — useful for knowing whether an area has already been serviced.
- Free XP on every run. Each completed scan grants 5 XP, making routine maintenance a small but consistent bonus as you explore.
