With many lazy people (like me) updating their minecraft release to 1.16, the process of finding new mod versions becomes quite a headache. Older mods may simply not load in a newer version, so a way to run without Fabric or Minecraft is needed.

It would be nice that ModUpdater had a "headless" mode as a command-line tool that reads the mod metadata for a bunch of jar from one directory and downloads some newer versions for a minecraft version given on the command line. The output should be in a separate directory, so people can sort out the new game directory they need for the new profile without mixing anything up.

FWIW, there already exists a CLI tool for this (which seems to support most if not all mods in Curseforge), called Modsman. However lately it seems to give me older versions of some mods, maybe due to Curseforge API caches.
