PortableMC_NPM

This module aims to convert the excellent work by mindstorm38 into an NPM module in order to be used in many NodeJS based projects.

Compatability

The package is compatible with Windows and Linux Clients

Installation

Install the package using npm

npm install portablemc

This package also requires that portablemc is installed on the system. The package will search in its default installation locations.

Getting Started

.config(options)

This function tells the package some key pieces of information:

EXE_LOCATION : Path to the PortableMC Application LOG_LOCATION : Path to logs location MAIN_DIR : Path where minecraft will be installed

All values have defaults however the package will error if portablemc is not found. In this case manual declaration may be needed.

portablemc.config({
    EXE_LOCATION: PATH_TO_EXE
    LOG_LOCATION: PATH_TO_LOG,
    MAIN_DIR:PATH_TO_MC_INSTALLATION
});

.authenticate(email)

This function determines which user is used to boot into the minecraft instance. It can be used both standalone and asynchronously which will return a result

portablemc.authenticate(EMAIL);

or

const authenticatedUser = await portablemc.authenticate(EMAIL);

{
  "username": "USERNAME",
  "uuid": "UUID",
  "email": "EMAIL (Obsfucated)"
}

Once this function is run it stores the user and will use it to launch later sessions.

.launchGame(options,installOnly)

This functions boots an instance of minecraft with the following conditions:

{
    "version":"MC VERSION",
    "loader": "LOADER"
}

Version : accepts any version. Also accepts release and snapshot

Loader : accepts the following

• Standard (Vanilla)
• Forge
• Fabric
• NeoForge
• Quilt
• LegacyFabric

Currently there is no check to ensure that the version selected supports the loader. This will be addressed in a future version.

installOnly

Setting this to true will stop the launch of the game and only install it.

This function can be called normaly and asynchronously

portablemc.launchGame(options,false);

or

const launchGameVersion = await portablemc.launchGame(options,false);

Other Functions

const authenticatedUsers = portablemc.getAuthedUsers()
