Can I update from 2024.3 to 2025.1 without breaking my mods?

If I lock all of my elements and upgrade to 2025.1 without some of my plugins, would my mods survive the upgrade? Current plugins I use are:

 

  • Additions
  • Poses
  • Procedures Plus
  • Geckolib Plugin
  • Just Enough Recipes
  • Redwires Plugin
  • Item Tooltips
  • World Renderer

all those plugins seem to work on 2025.1, only problem being that mcreator doesn't load them because they don't have 2025.1 in the supported versions list. but you can make them work by editing each plugin.json and adding it yourself

This is very bad advice as most of the time there is a reason why plugin is not updated yet. Just declaring it compatible is calling for broken workspaces.

  • Geckolib Plugin

For example, this plugin is super complex, and thinking it can be updated by just editing the version file is very unwise thinking that will result in broken things. Please, don't do that

i'm sorry for giving bad advice, but i want to clarify some things:

declaring it compatible is calling for broken workspaces.

I didn't say those plugins were compatible, i said they'd work in 2025.1. Broken workspaces are easily avoided by making backups, something that everyone knows and i'm pretty sure "Deepie" also knew before trying to update to 2025.1

thinking it can be updated by just editing the version file is very unwise thinking that will result in broken things.

Again, i didn't say they can be "updated by just editing version file", i just said most plugins work even if they weren't designed for those versions, and some broken elements aren't even the worst thing that could happen, specially if you have backups
