Module Outdated Notifier

Module Outdated Notifier checks for module updates after a Foundry VTT world loads and notifies Game Masters when updates are available.

The module requires a valid Foundry VTT API key before it can check for updates. Hosted Foundry users may need to source that key from a local Foundry installation.

Features

• Automatic update checks after world load.
• GM notifications when updates are available.
• Visual indicators in the Module Management window.
• Confirmation when all enabled modules are current.
• Release-notes links for available updates when provided.

Installation

Open Foundry VTT, go to Add-on Modules, click Install Module, and paste this manifest URL:

https://github.com/henry-malinowski/module-outdated-notifier/releases/latest/download/module.json

For manual installation, download the latest release from the Releases page, extract the zip into your Foundry VTT Data/modules/ directory, and make sure the module folder is named module-outdated-notifier.

Setup

Module Outdated Notifier needs a Foundry VTT API key. The easy path is to find the Foundry license.mjs file and drag it into the module setting application.

For manual extraction, locate dist/core/license.mjs inside your Foundry installation, open it in a text editor, and find the value assigned to LICENSE_API_KEY. Copy that value into the module’s API key setting.

The key is normally a mix of numbers and lowercase letters.

Usage

After setup, the module waits briefly after world load, checks active modules, and reports update state.

When updates are available, Game Masters receive a chat message listing active modules with updates and release-notes links where available. The Module Management window also shows update badges with the newest available version.

When everything is current, the module reports that all enabled modules are up to date.
