Forcing Launcher update

Hello, i have question, is there posibility to force launcher to get updated, instead of user click Update button?

There isn't a default method of forcing launcher updates. There's a couple of useful features:

1. The launcher passes its current version as a parameter when fetching the news URL; you can use some server-side logic to add a message asking users to update their launcher if you detect an outdated one.
2. If you really need to, you can change the protocol version of the launcher & your manifests, which will force the user to update the launcher before they can update the packs. However this should really only be used if you do have breaking manifest changes that will break old launchers.

If you look at the example properties file you can see that there's a ?version=%s at the end - you'll need to make sure you've got that in order to pass the version on. (the %s will be replaced with the local launcher version)
