Jan has written a command line tool and a gradle plugin to simplify the process of creating QuickMod files.Īnyone can create one, too, not just the mod developer. QuickMods are simple JSON files which contain information about mods. Mod developers still get their ad revenue, and users get a really easy way to download mods. Mods with direct download links are downloaded directly, while, for mods which must go through adf.ly or some other website, MultiMC will open a small web browser window with whatever page the mod should be downloaded from. When a QuickMod is installed into an instance, MultiMC will get the mod’s download link, determine what other mods that mod requires, and then go through a download process for everything it needs to downloaded. Once the QuickMod is added to MultiMC, it can be installed into any instance via the “Install” button in the mod edit dialog. To install a QuickMod, you simply add it into MultiMC via its URL, or a file. QuickMods are small text files which contain information about a mod such as its name, description, and where to download it. There are two parts to them, the JSON specification (available here) and the implementation in MultiMC 5.
But it doesn’t stop there, sometime in December last year I started working on a feature I call QuickMods. Then came Forge and other great stuff to ease the installation, as well as MultiCraft (the predecessor of MultiMC), making installation of mods even easier. Once upon a time, when installing mods, you had to mess with the Minecraft jar file.
If you’re too lazy to read, here is a video of Forkk demonstrating the installation of a bunch of mods using the QuickMod system: QuickMods Everything here is subject to change and we do not have an ETA for how long it will take to finish. It is quite buggy, but we’re working on smoothing it out. The system is called QuickMod, and today we’re excited to finally be able to show off an early proof of concept.īefore you read further, please keep in mind that this is still in early development. For a while, one of our developers, Jan ( has been working on a system for easily downloading and installing mods. Hello from the MultiMC development team! We have an exciting announcement today.
