Forge Libraries

[tattyseal]

Hello,

 

I am working on a modpack installer that installs packs to the Vanilla Launcher and adds profiles for them and sets them up right. Currently it runs the Forge installer and the user has to run through it like they would normally, I don't know whether to keep it like this, or make my installer download the libraries required by Forge itself.

 

If so, I could not find where the Forge installer downloads its libraries from. Does the version file Forge creates in the launcher download the libraries for it, or does the installer do this?

Tho I perfer people manually using the installer {well, manually downloading it}

https://github.com/MinecraftForge/Installer

It's open source, you can see what all it is doing.

I think I will keep it running the Forge Installer to keep everyone happy. .

I already did something similar:

https://github.com/FFMT/ModPackInstaller

It automatically creates a new profile in the Mojang launcher, check if there are updates, and uses a different game dir to avoid all risk of conflict (.minecraft/modpacks/<modpack name>/)
