Since the update checker runs on every launch, you'll get a skippable error if you play offline. The updater only manages FO's mods, not the [mods added manually](../add-mods/multimc.md). The updater does not work across Minecraft versions, so you'll need to install it again every time.

MultiMC does not natively support automatic updates of packs: see [issue #2640](https://github.com/MultiMC/MultiMC5/issues/2640) and [issue #3037](https://github.com/MultiMC/MultiMC5/issues/3057). FO chose to use `packwiz` because it is also used for the [vanilla installer](vanilla.md).

Before FO 6.0.0, the MultiMC auto-updating pack was distributed on CurseForge, but that has changed for the following reasons:
50
-
51
-
* CurseForge's UI for downloading the MultiMC auto-updating pack became confusing
52
-
* The pack had to be re-uploaded on every update, which was often unnecessary
53
-
* The pack's downloads via CurseForge [might not support FO](https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000197898-rewards-program-terms-of-service#1.-Description-of-Rewards-Program) as previously thought
