minecraft plugin downloader

This set of small python scripts is aimed to help you manage your server plugins.

It is primarily used by me to automatically update my server. Expect breaking changes when I want to make some or broken software (since I don't test before I commit...)

Features

• Every plugin has a "version requirement" - and a plugin will only get copied into servers supporting the " requirements".
  • The plugin is also able to detect "increments" of these requirements automatically.
• Can auto-detect if a file has been changed locally or a new build has been released
• Task system
• Convenient WebAccessField syntax

Installation

1. Clone the repository. (git clone https://github.com/Qrashi/minecraft-plugin-downloader.git)
2. Install the requirements:
   pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Execute update.py. This will generate all default configurations, create the default servers directory and download information about current minecraft versons from the paper-api.

First time setup requires an internet connection to fetch minecraft versions.

Adding the first dependency

1. Download your software / dependency / plugin.
2. Put the dependency into the software folder (name of folder can be changed in config.json)
3. Execute manager.py and follow the given instructions.

Upgrading a dependency

If you would like for the script to auto-download new versions of pugins, please refer to data_info.md and examples.md.
Otherwise,

• replace the old software with the new one (in the software folder).
• If you want to specify that this version of the software has other version compatibility than the old one, please run manager.py and follow the on-screen instructions.
• Next time you execute update.py, the program will notify that it has detected changes to the software.

Removing a dependency

1. If you would like to remove a dependency, please delete it from the software folder.
2. Run manager.py and follow the on-screen instructions.
