# packwiz
A command line tool for creating minecraft modpacks.

## Installation
In future I will have a lot more installation options, but for now the easiest way is to compile from source.

1. Install Go (1.13 or newer)
2. Clone or download the repository (`git clone https://github.com/comp500/packwiz`), and open the folder in a terminal
3. Run `go install .` to put it on your path, or `go build` to just make a binary. Be patient, it has to download and compile dependencies as well!

## Getting Started
- Run `packwiz init` to create a modpack in the current folder
- Run `packwiz curseforge import [zip path]` to import from a Twitch modpack
- Run `packwiz refresh` to update the index of mods
- Run `packwiz curseforge install [mod]` to install a mod from CurseForge
- Run `packwiz update [mod]` to update a mod
- Run `packwiz update --all` to update all the mods in the modpack
- Run `packwiz curseforge export` to export the modpack in the format supported by the Twitch Launcher
- Run `packwiz serve` to start a local HTTP server running the pack - which packwiz-installer can install from
- Use the `--help` flag for more information about any command
- Use [packwiz-installer](https://github.com/comp500/packwiz-installer) as a MultiMC prelaunch task for auto updating, optional mods and side-only mods!

- See https://suspicious-joliot-f51f5c.netlify.app/index.html for some documentation
    - I am in the process of rewriting the format, so there may be information there that is outdated
- See https://github.com/Fibercraft/Temporary-Modpack for an example of an existing modpack using packwiz
    - This repository can be published to a service like Github Pages or Netlify and installed using packwiz-installer
    - This repository also shows the use of `.gitattributes` and `.packwizignore` to disable line ending modification (so that the hashes are correct) and ignore git-specific files
