Mods can be updated by following the same procedure as .

When installing a newer version of a mod, Stardrop will alert the user that an old version has been detected. It will give the user the option to clear or overwrite the old mod.

Clearing the old mod is generally recommended, however it removes any configurations files associated to the mod. Always follow the mod's instructions when updating.

Mod authors can add the DeleteOldVersion: true property to their manifest.json to allow Stardrop to delete the previous version without prompting the user.
