Combine core and normal mod in one file (zip or jar)

[CreativeMD]

Hello,

 

is there a way to have a core and a normal mod in one file, otherwise i would have to upload two different files for one mod .

If i use a "zip" file the normal mod is loading, if i name it to a "jar" file the coremod get's loaded.

Is there a way to load both?

I think the best is to upload the normal mod and core mod, and let the normal mod download the core mod if it's missing. if you do that people only need to download the normal mod.

Don't like that idea

A lot of mods that require coremods do this

[CreativeMD]

Yes, but ... the core mod stuff is sooooo small. About 20 lines, creating a new mod/ file for this seems so ...

Isn't there a way to combine this?

I tried to combine core and normal mod in one class:

 

@Mod(modid = CraftingManagerMod.modid, name = CraftingManagerMod.name, version = CraftingManagerMod.version)
public class CraftingManagerMod extends DummyModContainer{

public CraftingManagerMod() {

	super(new ModMetadata());
	ModMetadata meta = getMetadata();
	meta.modId = CraftingManagerMod.modid + "core";
	meta.name = CraftingManagerMod.name + " Core";
	meta.version = CraftingManagerMod.version; //String.format("%d.%d.%d.%d", majorVersion, minorVersion, revisionVersion, buildVersion);
	meta.credits = "CreativeMD";
	meta.authorList = Arrays.asList("CreativeMD");
	meta.description = "";
	meta.url = "";
	meta.updateUrl = "";
	meta.screenshots = new String[0];
	meta.logoFile = "";
}

...

but this only worked out on server side .

This sucks ...

Thanks, works fine on client side, but server gets a duplicating error . Is there a way to fix this?

Fixed it , i missed a zip of my mod. Thanks for helping me out.
