Minecraft Launcher Modification

===============================

This 'hack' allows the vanilla launcher to be modified by a single patch to the main class.

It is really an experiment to play about with reflection among others but I use this as my launcher to Minecraft.

Features

--------

* Select Minecraft Forge builds direct in the launcher's profile selector

![Profile Editor](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simon816/Minecraft-Launcher-Mod/master/images/profile_editor.png)  

You can check the "Enable Forge Versions" checkbox to get a list.  

It also provides a checkbox for standard vanilla releases to be toggled.

* Can download and play _almost_ any forge version. Forge has changed a lot, especially in how it is installed.

Depending on what version you select, ModLoader may be downloaded or various other install procedures take place.   

* See the mods you have in the mods folder. This is a very basic feature that may be improved.

Developing

----------

#### Prerequisites

 * Eclipse

 * Gradle

 1. You will need to decompile your Minecraft.jar that you launch the game with.  

How you do this is up to you, I am unable to share the sources.

 2. Apply the patch [Bootstrap.java.patch](./patches/net/minecraft/bootstrap/Bootstrap.java.patch) (You may have to do this manually).

 3. Copy all files (i.e. `git clone`) to wherever the decompiled sources are.

 4. Run `gradle eclipse` in that somewhere to setup the project.

 5. Import the project in eclipse.

 6. Move files to where they should be for a gradle project and fix any errors the decompiler made.

 7. Setup a Run Configuration to run `net.minecraft.bootstrap.Bootstrap`

Everything _should_ work.

#### Additionally:

You can run `gradle build` which will output:

* `build/libs/Minecraft.jar` - A rebuild launcher jar. __DO NOT DISTRIBUTE__

* `build/patches/*` - Compiled classes that can be copied into a Minecraft.jar
