pack deployer
- a simple command line utility to automatically archive and move your resourcepacks into a folder.
use cases
this may be useful if you regularly create resourcepacks and want to organise your projects in different folders.
how to use
- you'll need a projects folder named whatever you want
- compile the binary in release mode with
cargo run --release
- place the binary in the projects folder
- any resourcepacks you're working on should be in subdirectories of this folder
- when the binary is run, any subdirectories containing a pack.mcmeta file will have their contents archived and copied to _resourcepacks in your projects dir
- any existing zip files will also be copied into _resourcepacks
- you should make your .minecraft/resourcepacks folder a shortcut/symlink to _resourcepacks in your projects dir WARNING: before running, ensure that any packs you want to keep are moved to your projects directory, _resourcepacks will be deleted and replaced each time the binary is run
- any folder prefixed with an underscore will be ignored
here is an example layout:
features
- the utility recursively scans directories in the project folder and organises packs into a folder
planned features
- reading directory locations to sync packs to from a config file (currently the config part of the code doesn't do anything useful)
- pack repository support (i'm thinking something along the lines of a basic package manager where you can install from a URL or repository)
- downloading packs
- publishing / hosting your own packs with sharable URL's (so like a basic webserver kinda thing)
- auto setup: when the app runs for the first time it will do the following
- ask you to input your resourcepacks folder location
- ask for a projects folder location
- move all of your resourcepacks to your projects folder
- create a shortcut in resourcepacks to your _resourcepacks dir in the deployment folder
- from there the app will uatomatically add new packs to your folder as you download them like a package manager
