Download forge by wget

[Dijkstra]

I working on a server startup script and there be a big upset over curse not allowing pack to have minecraft jar in so now my start script downloads by wget or curl if it not found, was wondering if i could do the same with the forge jar and it libs just for overkill.

was think that there is a pattern to file names and locations then

Over at Curse, we're currently discussing this. Just letting you know that it wasn't a unanimous change - we want to make it as easy as possible for server admins to get started.

hence my start script downloading it if does not exists

 

would this get me any installer or will it just work with 1.11

I believe, theoretically, this should work. But there's no guarantees it'll work with all versions. There have been occasions where the naming convention was broken or changed.

What OS are you using and what command prompt?

I've done a Windows PowerShell script that automatically downloads the latest Forge and mods from curseforge for a given MC version if that's anything like what you're attempting. Takes a little prep work though.

Why reinvent the wheel? The installer does (and more importantly will always) do everything that is needed to set up Forge.
