Description
A simple client side mod that will show you which mods you have that might be out of date, based on age alone.
It will show you what version you have installed, the last time it updated (in your local time), as well as the latest version available on https://valheim.thunderstore.io/. Mods listed in the UI are potential mods that you might need to remove due to age. Some mods can be older than the latest game update without issues. Keep that in mind and only use this as a guide in finding updates or bugs with your mods.
Note: The configuration values for this mod should be input based on your local time. The time the mod was uploaded to Thunderstore is in UTC but converted and displayed to you in your local time on the UI. The converted local time is what the configuration values are being compared to. The default configuration values are in EST of shortly after the update. I will change this default configuration value depending on which update breaks the most mods.

Special Thanks
I would like to say thank you to Margmas for listening to me complain about the Thunderstore API not really being able to map mods to it very well. His ValheimModVersionCheck bot is something widely used in most Valheim modding discords. He added an API so that I might leech off of the information he gathers. It bridges the gap where Thunderstore's API fell short. Thank you Margmas!
Feel free to reach out to me on discord if you need manual download assistance.

CHANGELOG
Version |
Update Notes |
|---|---|
| 1.0.5 | - Target new 0.217.46 time by default. Remember this is EST, change if needed. |
| 1.0.4 | - Add configuration options. This comes with a drawback of less initial accuracy due to it being defaulted to EST (my local time) - Add the ability to show all of your installed mods not just those needing updates. - Can configure the target comparison date, should you wish to target another date and time. This should be your local time for each date! The time for "Last Updated" in the UI is Thunderstore's UTC upload date converted into your local time. - Allow for the UI to update when the configurations change via the configuration manager for immediate feedback |
| 1.0.3 | - Update internal date check to check for 0.217.28 update. 0.217.29 is out, but isn't the "mark" of when mods break. So the previous update is used as that is where some mods break. |
| 1.0.2 | - Update internal date check. |
| 1.0.1 | - README update. Add credit and thanks where it's due, almost forgot! |
| 1.0.0 | - Initial Release |
