Release Notes for v0.8.0-alpha 🎉

Note

RustCraft is primarily designed as a Minecraft backup scheduler, but it can be used to backup any files or directories, making it a versatile tool for your backup needs.

I am excited to announce the first release of RustCraft, version 0.8.0-alpha, a badly-named but hopefully useful Minecraft worlds backup scheduler (currently only) for Windows. This initial release introduces the core features and sets the foundation for future development.

Features ✨

  • Automatic Backup Scheduler: Schedule backups for your Minecraft worlds at regular intervals (1 to 24 hours).
  • Manual Backup Option: Perform a one-time backup of your Minecraft worlds (by setting the frequency scrollbar to 0).
  • Directory Selection: Easily select the Minecraft directory and the backup destination directory using a graphical interface. The AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\saves folder, which contains Minecraft saves, is set as the default when you open the dialog.
  • Notifications: Receive system notifications upon successful backups or errors.
  • Windows Compatibility: Works on Windows operating systems.

Checksums 🔒

To ensure the integrity of the downloaded file, please verify its checksum.

  • MD5 Checksum (RustCraft_Installer_v0.8.0_alpha_Win_x64.exe): 13c30d92dae14117bf78d1634fd3b3ed
  • MD5 Checksum (RustCraft_Installer_v0.8.0_alpha_Win_x86.exe): 2bfe8afc4f809747b3cb372153a6d7c0

Warning

Due to the nature of unsigned software, some antivirus programs may flag this installer as potentially harmful. This is a common occurrence with software that is not code-signed with a certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).

  • Why This?
    RustCraft is a small project, and I currently do not have the resources to pay for a (very costly) code-signing certificate. Unsigned software can trigger antivirus warnings because it lacks a digital signature that verifies its origin and integrity.

Steps to Safely Install the Software 🔍

Download the Installer: Click on the provided link to download the setup file.
Verify the File: Compare the downloaded file’s checksum with the one provided above to ensure integrity.
Proceed with Caution: If your antivirus flags the installer, please verify the checksum and proceed with the installation if it matches. You may need to add an exception in your antivirus software.

How to Verify the Checksum 🛠

On Windows

  1. Open Command Prompt.
  2. Navigate to the directory where the installer is downloaded.
  3. Run the following command to generate the checksum: 
    certutil -hashfile [filename] MD5
    Replace [filename] with the name of the downloaded file, for example: 
    certutil -hashfile RustCraft_Installer_v0.8.0_alpha_Win_x64.exe MD5
  4. Compare the output with the provided checksum.

Next Features 🛠️

I am continuously working to improve RustCraft. The next features I will focus on include:

  • Backup from SFTP: Enable users to backup their Minecraft worlds from an SFTP server.
  • Backup to Drive: Allow users to backup their Minecraft worlds directly to cloud storage services.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Best regards,
Francesco
