## MCModChooser

The original purpose of this project was to facilitate switching between multiple minecraft.jars for Minecraft. **For all intents and purposes, you can consider this project abandoned and unsupported.** 

It is written in Batch script. The result of the project was that I learned to hate Batch.

For example, you can execute a variable - I think I do that at least once.

I'm pretty sure that there are some "security holes" in the sense that the user can run an arbitrary command.

I don't really remember, because it was written like a year ago.

## Features

 - Launch Minecraft immediately after selecting a .jar

 - Installing of mods from the utility using 7-zip and WinRAR Paid (Trial doesn't have command line)

 - Now-broken username spoofing (now requires other Java env vars)

 - Naming your jars & labelling them with the Minecraft version

 - Random build number using `%random%`

 - 9 minecraft.jars to switch between

 - Required to run as administrator in Vista/7 because user-level batch scripts can't edit `%APPDATA%` for some reason

 - First-run setup script

 - Ability to resume interrupted setup

### Folder Structure

 - mcmodchooser.bat - The main file

 - guidedsetup.bat - First-run setup script

 - tutorials.bat - A feeble attempt at a manual for the one-letter commands in this

 - jarmodloader - Example directory, belongs at `.minecraft/jarmodloader`

   - options.txt - settings file, dependent on the line order

   - README.txt - instructions for installing

   - TEMPLATE - Template for the Mod# folders

   - Mod1

     - mod.txt - The name and declared Minecraft version

     - minecraft.jar - The jar to use

   - Mod2 - Same as Mod1
