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.

developed on and tested for linux
should work on windows and mac as well as it's not using platform specific libraries

cargo build --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:

the utility recursively scans directories in the project folder and organises packs into a folder

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
