Liteloader is loaded as a library, with special launch conditions being executed when it is enabled. Litemods are constructed into a mod list and passed to liteloader via the --modRepo argument.
The launcher now supports optional submodules. These are parsed recursively, there is no depth limit. Typically the depth will be only 2 as litemods are optional submoduless of liteloader.
Optional mods are stored by ID in the configuration. Their enabled state is stored here. The mod configurations are updated each time the distro index is refreshed. Configurations are stored by server id. If the id no longer exists (changed/removed), the mod configuration is removed. If new optional mods are added, they are added to the configuration. If they are removed, they are removed from the configuration.
Currently only top level optional mods are supported.
Common files such as assets, libraries, and mods have been externalized into a 'common' folder. Each server now has its own instance folder to allow saving per version files. This resolves issues with resourcepacks and mod configurations being overriden, and still preserves our optimizations in storing libraries and mods maven style.
Added new configuration option, launchDetached.
Added validation function to ConfigManager to add missing keys (due to updates).
Updated westeroscraft.json
Game process can now be detached from the launcher.
Temp folder is deleted when minecraft is closed. If the Node.js process ends abruptly, the folder will not delete. As a dirty way to counter this, the directory we extract native files to is cleaned in the preloader. Maybe we'll come up with a more elegant solution in the future.
