Changes

New features

  • Added the pack folder system, to automatically build the pack.mcinstance file if it's missing.
  • Added a template layout in this folder by default.
  • Added the hash-based cache system, to not have to re-download the same file everytime there's a pack update (can be disabled).
  • Added the optional resources system. Supports grouping, menus, multiple options to check at once and much more (Check out the wiki) [Currently only for the client side]
  • Added an update checker with multiple modes, including automatic installation.
  • Added a zero-byte files deleting system for the mods folder. It will delete any empty file in there.

Feature changes and fixes

  • Changed the overrides/carryover to only merge and not replace folders (they can can still overwrite files though). This is to make the code more coherent and fix a lot of issues.
  • Changed the config file's organisation to be better and more readable (you will have to re-create your configs).
  • Updated and fixed the Curseforge integration (now with config settings)
  • Updated to Modrinth API v2.
  • Updated how the mod grabs data from those two platforms
  • The mod's version is now present in the logs.
  • Fixed the logo not getting displayed in the mod info page for Windows systems.
  • Fixed the mod crashing on servers.
  • Rewrote the wiki to be much better and easier to understand
  • Removed the StopModReposts error when the blacklist couldn't be downloaded, and made the integration optional.
  • Replaced the amount of web redirections config with a connection timeout setting instead.

Technical changes

  • Rewrote the entire web system to use Apache's HttpClient. It should be more stable, sometimes faster and provides a way cleaner code.
  • Refactored a good portion of the code base to be more organized, with smaller functions and an overall cleaner code (i hope).
  • Reworked some GUI code to be easier to use
  • Separated the main code into multiple phases, allowing to only do a certain portion at some specific point. Used by the update GUI.
  • Bumped the version number to 2.0
