You could technically copy this bash script into an empty directory, run it - and wind up ready to launch.

 

#!/bin/sh

### This Script attempts to update Minecraft to the latest version of Forge and Minecraft
### Its meant to simplify the process - not to be run as a cron job.
### If you supply a minecraft version number on the command line, it will download that version
### instead of the latest.   This is necessary when a new version comes out but there is no
### corresponding forge



# Check if there is a Java Process with forge running.  
# If so, get its Process ID and send a hangup signal to it.

PROCESSID=`ps a | grep "java[\ A-Za-z0-9-]*forge\.jar" | cut -b 1-5`
if [ -n "${PROCESSID}" ]
then
  echo "Sending Minecraft Server a HUP"
  kill -HUP ${PROCESSID}
fi

# Contact Minecraft and Forge websites, extract out the download path of each of the files
# Put everything into Variables to use later
