Update mod without resetting user settings

[Akronos1]

Hi, I'd like to know if there's a way to update my mod without resetting everyone's settings to the ones supplied in the updated modpack.zip file. I update the mod by modifying this file and adding new mods to the mod folder. Then I change the modpack file link to the new one and add a version with a new changelog. However doing this, erases everyone's personal settings like keybinds, graphics and waypoints in JourneyMap. Is there a way to only update the mods?

Thank your for any answers.
