Auto Updater for your client! [VB]
Auto Updater for your client! [VB]
I made this in vb.net because I haven't seen one before... and this is good for those of you that have client for sale, or want to keep theirs private for friends... in this way you can apply an hwid, whatever you want
+ no one will get the updated client unless they have this tool.
This isn't for the mods you guys usually use, its for clients!
The way this works:
Make a new ******* folder called update
Inside add 2 new files:
your minecraft jar
a .dat file saying 1.0.0
Now, 1.0.0 is the default version so...
when you first run the program it will say No new update is available
But if you change the 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 and upload a new jar to your ******* folder, it will update and aytomatically replace jars.
Give credits if you use this, thanks.
