Forge versions list for custom minecraft launcher


Cubxity

Recommended Posts

Hey! I am planning to make my own minecraft launcher that has Forge installer built in which you can choose forge version and the launcher installs it for you,

Is there any api or something that I can check list of versions and get the forge and install it from my launcher?

The installer is open source. The code is available on Github at MinecraftForge/Installer.

 

AFAIK, it's not allowed to make a custom launcher that requires you to input your credentials into your own launcher. You can, however, do it the way the Twitch launcher does it (manage the profiles, and open the official launcher with the correct profile directory).

Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored! Make a thread on the appropriate board for support.

 

1.12 -> 1.13 primer by williewillus.

 

1.7.10 and older versions of Minecraft are no longer supported due to it's age! Update to the latest version for support.

Why is it not allowed to make a custom launcher that needs you to put credentials?? There is tons of launcher and Minecraft does not do anything with it like Technic, FTB Launcher, MultiMC and much more

Its not allowed because Mojang doesn't want you to do it. Its basic security procedures, stop making users enter account information into random unofficial things. "But other things do it!" is NOT a valid argument. 

 

As for the Forge installer, we prefer that people do NOT make automated installers. I've said this many times, Forge is free to everyone, but it isn't free to run/develop. The ONLY way we make money is off the ads on the download pages. So we prefer users to install things themselves. We've made it so simple there really isn't any reason to do it else wise.

 

So no, we're not gunna help you do something that Mojang doesn't want you to do, and does nothing but harm us.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.
