Does this mod exist?
PetertheGamerr
So i recently installed Sodium and Potato Shaders. Im not good with installing mods so i made my brother do it. And he told me that shaders dont automaticly update to the latest version of Minecraft and that i needed to reinstall them.I would like to have some kind of mod to make them automaticly update to the latest version.Any mods that does this?

Get the prism launcher... u can use it to install shaders and resourcepacks and it can also keep stuff up to date.
if you're able, you could install the curseforge app which acts as a library for mods and lets you manage modpacks
Almost no mod autoupdates it's own updates, and it's not really possible to update with the game because they are manually made for each version. You'd have to stay on the version or wait for the mod to be updated, because it's physically impossible for them to autoport.
Thinking about what would be required to do that:
"your computer" [i.e. some program on it] would need to track what version of mc was being used, what version of the shader pack was being used and then be able to check on-line if there was an available update for that shader, download it, and install it.
Even if one made the last two steps require confirmation, thats' more access than I'd be inclined to grant.
The above also handwaves some things:
if one playes multiple versions, the check and instalation becomes more complex
not all shader producers post clear update and compatability data (and much of what is posted is unlikely to be machine readable)
TL/DR version:
This doesn't seem likely to be able to be done until one can get a [competent and trustworthy] AI "man-Friday" to which one could assign the task.

Nope, it's a manual process the whole way. You can make it easier with certain launchers, like Prism, but that's the extent of what you're able to do.
