modpacker v2.0.0-beta.6

modpacker

Modpacker is a modded minecraft installer and creator that runs entirely from the CLI

Installation

Until binaries are created, you can install this via npm:

$ npm install -g modpacker

or, if you prefer yarn (like I do)

$ yarn global add modpacker

Usage

Building a modpack

First create modpack.yaml in your .minecraft directory where the modpack is currently "installed"

version: 1.0.0
name: MODPACK_NAME
author: YOUR NAME <your@email.com>
minecraft:
  javaArgs: >-
    -Xmx8G -Xms2G -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC
    -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50
    -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M
  version: 1.12.2
forge:
  version: 14.23.5.2847
mods: []

Then run modpacker build inside of that directory, make sure that mods and config exists in that directory.

This will create two .tar.gz files in that directory, a server version and a client version. Your .yaml file will have been edited to reflect the mods under the mods section. Set client to true if you want to ONLY include this mod in the "client" version of the mod, i.e map mods, etc.

That's your modpack!

Installing a modpack

Find your modpack online, or use a file:// link to your modpack's location and supply that to modpack install

This will take care of installing forge, installing the modpack, and creating a minecraft launcher profile for your modpack.

If you launch the Minecraft launcher, you will see your ModPack is available as the entry in name of the config.

Developing

Make sure you have eslint installed to enforce style rules and better code in general.

To build binaries, run:

$ yarn build

Tests will be added one day, maybe.
