**You should ALWAYS** [**make backups**](../backup/) **before updating**.

As with any other piece of software, updates may go wrong for many reasons, including but not limited to: the launcher, the hardware, your custom configuration, the mods you added... and, rarely, FO as well.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**FO only supports updates to stable versions**.

We do NOT support updating from a stable to an unstable version, nor do we support downgrading. In those cases, consider creating a separate installation/instance. Read more about [FO's versioning](../../about/versioning.md).

Of course, if you've [added custom mods to FO](../add-mods/), you are responsible for updating those, but you should not update [mods bundled in FO](../../info/mods/) manually.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you want the recommended FO configuration after an update, you may [reset your custom settings](../../info/options/reset/).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If a server you're playing on is out-of-date, you may want to [add](../add-mods/) the [ViaFabricPlus mod](https://modrinth.com/mod/viafabricplus).

# MultiMC

{% hint style="danger" %}
**You should ALWAYS [make backups](../backup/multimc.md) before updating**.

As with any other piece of software, updates may go wrong for many reasons, including but not limited to: the launcher, the hardware, your custom configuration, the mods you added... and, rarely, FO as well.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
If you had installed [FO on MultiMC **with** automatic updates](../install/multimc.md#automatic-updates), and you're not updating to a newer version of Minecraft, you just need to open the existing versions.

If you get a popup saying <kbd>**This modpack uses new versions of the following...**</kbd>, click on the <kbd>**Update**</kbd> button.
{% endhint %}

If you had installed [FO on MultiMC **without** automatic updates](../install/multimc.md#easier-installation), or if you're updating to a new version of Minecraft:

1. Follow the [FO installation instructions for MultiMC](../install/multimc.md) again. This will create a new instance
2. In **MultiMC**, click on the previous version
3. Click on <kbd>**Minecraft Folder**</kbd>
4. Click on the new version as well
5. Click on <kbd>**Minecraft Folder**</kbd>
6. Copy the following files from the folder you opened in _step 3_ to the folder you opened in _step 5_:
* `saves`: Your local worlds
* `resourcepacks`: Your resource packs, if any. If you're asked to replace files, do not!
* `shaders`: Your shaders, if any
* `screenshots`: Your screenshots, if any
* `server.dat`: Your multiplayer servers, if any
* `options.txt`: Your custom options and keybinds, if any. If you want the [recommended FO settings](../info/options.md), do not copy it
7. Once you've moved them, launch **Fabulously Optimized**. Minecraft should open up
8. If you can see the newly installed version in the bottom-right corner, you can delete the previous version from _step 2_

# Minecraft Launcher

{% hint style="danger" %}
**You should ALWAYS [make backups](../backup/vanilla.md) before updating**.

As with any other piece of software, updates may go wrong for many reasons, including but not limited to: the launcher, the hardware, your custom configuration, the mods you added... and, rarely, FO as well.
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Installer" %}

Follow the [installation instructions](../install/vanilla.md) again.

You may find a `paigaldaja_meta.json` file in the same folder as the installer. Don't worry: this is just a configuration file for smoother future updates.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Manual" %}
If you've installed FO manually, you must reinstall it for every update.

Follow the [installation instructions](../install/vanilla.md) again. You may skip _step 1_ because Java is already installed.
{% endtab %}
