how to install

Make sure you have golang installed (https://golang.org/doc/install), and then run

• go install github.com/Merith-TK/packwiz-wrapper/cmd/pw@main

how to use

• pw version
  • prints pw version
• pw help
  • prints help
• pw import <import.txt>
  • imports mods from links in import.txt
  • URL files now support specifying which folder they go in (see #import)
• pw modlist [raw] [versions]
  • Generates a modlist file
  • arguments are keyword matches, so you can do pw modlist raw versions or pw modlist versions raw
  • You can use raw to generate without markdown formatting, (can be used for import)
  • You can use versions to generate with versions specified in modlist
• pw reinstall
  • reinstalls all meta-files, including URLs
• pw batch (arguments)
  • runs arguments in each subfolder of the current folder (changeable by using -d <path> before batch)
• pw arb <arguments>
  • runs arbitrary commands, useful for batchmode otherwise not really

import

pw import now supports importing from a file, import.txt by default.

• this file takes an URL per line, and will import all mods from those URLs (where possible)
• currently supports importing from curseforge, modrinth, and URL files (URL files have formatting)

modlist

pw modlist generates a modlist file, modlist.md by default.

• This is automatically sorted (where possible) for client, shared, and server mods,
• Shared mods are mods that are required on both client and server for full functionality
  • this is detected from the side field in the mod's pack.toml

By default, this is what the output will be:

# Modlist

## Client Mods

- [Sodium](https://modrinth.com/mod/AANobbMI)

## Shared Mods

- [Lithium (Fabric)](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/lithium)

if you pass raw as an argument, it will generate without markdown formatting on the URL's to make it compatible with pw import like so:

## Client Mods

Sodium
https://modrinth.com/mod/AANobbMI

## Shared Mods

Lithium (Fabric)
https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/lithium

if you pass versions as an argument, it will generate with versions specified in modlist like so:

# Modlist

## Client Mods

- [Sodium](https://modrinth.com/mod/AANobbMI/versions/b4hTi3mo)

## Shared Mods

- [Lithium (Fabric)](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/lithium/files/4439705)

Do note that this does not support URL files, and will not generate versions for those.

reinstall

• pw reinstall will reinstall all meta-files, including URLs
  • It will load all meta-files into internal memory, and then reinstall them with packwiz.

batch

• pw batch will run packwiz commands in all subfolders of a folder
  • run from the folder containing the folders with pack.toml's
  • pw batch refresh will refresh all subpacks

    pack1/
    pack2/
    

  • note, batchmode supports "recursion" such as pw batch batch refresh will run refresh in each sub/subfolder,

    pack1/
      subpack1/
      subpack2/
    pack2/
      subpack1/
      subpack2/
    

arb

• Runs arbitrary command from arguments
  • pw arb mkdir .minecraft will run mkdir .minecraft
  • really only useful if you are using batchmode as you can run a single arbitrary command in every pack folder

flags

• pw supports a few flags, which can be used with any subcommand
  • pw -h will print help
  • pw -r will run packwiz refresh after operations
  • running pw -r import will automatically refresh after its done importing
  • pw -y will autoconfirm (not full implemented into all subcommands)
  • pw -c is depreciated
  • Originally used for importing only clientside mods, but does nothing now
  • pw -d <PackDir> will set the pack directory to <PackDir>
  • In batchmode this points to where folders containg pack.toml's are rather than the current folder
