PAX is the solution to modern modpack development for Minecraft, usable both alone and in a team. It supports Forge & Fabric, can be version controlled with git, and one command is all you need in order to upload your pack to Curseforge.

*The following features are implemented*:

- ⌨️ **CLI interface** for quick actions

- 🔎 **Search & Install** for Curseforge mods

- 📥 **Updating one mod or the whole modpack**, automatically selecting the best available version

- 👁️ **Mod Information** (compability & whether an update is available) at one glance (see above picture ;) )

- 💾 **Easily diffable files** for ease of working with git

- 🤖 **Continous Integration** where you push your project to Github/Gitlab and a runner automatically builds your modpack and uploads it to Curseforge. It's magic, woohoo!

*The following features are on the roadmap for the following weeks*:

- 🔃 **Minecraft Development Environment**

  - Sync file changes between your project and your minecraft launcher, so you don't have to import your modpack every time you make a change.

## Usage

*The newest version of PAX is available [here](https://github.com/froehlichA/pax/releases/latest).*

Information about how to use PAX is available on the [wiki](https://github.com/froehlichA/pax/wiki), which contains:

- **A [Quickstart](https://github.com/froehlichA/pax/wiki/Quickstart) guide** if you want to get up and running quickly

- **A [Getting Started](https://github.com/froehlichA/pax/wiki/Getting-started) page** for users that want to go more in-depth.

## PAX Development

You'll need:

* [Nim](https://nim-lang.org/)

* A C compiler (depending on your operating system, one might be already installed)

Clone and `cd` into the repository - and you're good to go!\

Run `nimble build` to build the application for development, or run `nimble build -d:release` to create an optimized release build.\

Execute the program with `./pax` (on Linux) or `pax.exe` (on Windows).
