mc-mod-getter

I made this tool to download & update mods using MultiMC but you can use this as a standalone python module as well

Usage

MultiMC

1. Create or Edit a minecraft instance

   NOTE: Ensure there are no spaces in the instance name or the directory paths

2. Install your loader of choice

3. Download the binary from releases or build your own binary from scratch

4. Copy the binary to your MultiMC's instance .minecraft folder

5. Create a yaml file in the same .minecraft directory

6. Enable Custom Commands under in your instance's Settings & paste the following in the Pre-launch command box

   MacOS

   $INST_MC_DIR/mc-mod-getter --file $INST_MC_DIR/<FILENAME>.yaml
   

   Windows:

   $INST_MC_DIR/mc-mod-getter.exe --file $INST_MC_DIR/<FILENAME>.yaml
   

7. Launch your instance

Python

Install it from PyPi to an env:

python3 -m pip install mc-mod-getter

Run the tool:

python3 -m mc-mod-getter --file /path/to/file.yaml
