# File installing
|
|
|
|
## Install commands
|
|
|
|
### move
|
|
|
|
args:
|
|
|
|
- `[location]`
|
|
|
|
`move` is simplest install step of all. It just moves the selected file to
|
|
the given location.
|
|
|
|
### extract
|
|
|
|
args:
|
|
|
|
- `[location]`
|
|
|
|
`extract` can be used with zip files, to extract the contents of the zip file
|
|
to the given location.
|
|
|
|
### rename
|
|
|
|
args:
|
|
|
|
- `[new name]`
|
|
|
|
`rename` renames the selected file to the new given filename.
|
|
|
|
### execute
|
|
|
|
args:
|
|
|
|
- `[location]`
|
|
- `[jar arguments]`
|
|
|
|
`execute` can be used with an executable jar file. The jar file will be executed with the given arguments and
|
|
the given location as working directory. A client should inform the user before just executing the file and
|
|
ask them for permission to do so and/or it should execute the jar in a closed environment like a container
|
|
to prevent malicous code from running.
|
|
|
|
### launch
|
|
|
|
`launch` can be used to mark the selected file as the launch file for a specific side. Files having this
|
|
install step can only have the `client` or the `server` flag, not both. If the file is client-sided, it
|
|
has to be a [client JSON file](https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Client.json) as specified by Minecraft
|
|
itself. If it is server-sided. it has to be a jar file, which is the file, that should be launched to start
|
|
the server. The jar file has to be moved to the root of the instance directory, before using `launch` on it.
|
|
Moreover, this install step may only be used with instance addons and there may be only one file for each
|
|
side, which has this install step, except all of them are marked as `optional`, in which case they are also
|
|
implicitly marked as incompatible.
|
|
|
|
### select
|
|
|
|
args:
|
|
|
|
- `[filename]`
|
|
|
|
`select` is used to select the file with the given file name for other installation steps.
|
|
The file name can also be a relative path, if the file is not directly in the Minecraft directory.
|
|
If no file name is given, the selection resets to the original file itself, also if it was already moved to another location.
|
|
|
|
## Locations
|
|
|
|
Locations are specified as a relative path from the Minecraft directory to which the file should be installed.
|
|
For example `./mods` would point to the mods directory of the Minecraft instance.
|
|
|
|
## Directories
|
|
|
|
If the selected file is a directory, then it is treated like a zip file, which means, that you can move and
|
|
rename it like a normal file, but also use the `extract` install step to move all contents of the directory
|
|
to the specified location.
