TX Loader

Downloads: Modrinth CurseForge

Features

• Provides a directory which acts as any other resource pack (./config/txloader/load/)
• Provides a directory which overrides all other assets with the same resource locations (./config/txloader/forceload/)
• Official assets can be downloaded automatically at startup from the official Mojang servers (Mojang's Brand and Asset Guidelines are not violated this way). Pack devs can do this via a JSON config (./config/txloader/config.json), mod devs can use a builder class via glowredman.txloader.TXLoaderCore#getAssetBuilder

Config Format

Field	Type	Default Value	Description
resourceLocation	String		Source path
resourceLocationOverride	String	null	Destination path, if you want it to be different from the source path
forceLoad	boolean	false	If true, this asset will be prioritized over assets from other resource packs
version	String		The version from which this asset should be taken(valid versions can be found here)

Example config:

[
  {
    "resourceLocation": "minecraft/lang/en_us.json",

TODO

In order of importance:

1. Remove hard network connectivity requirement (see this and the following comment)
2. Let config-driven assets override mod-driven assets (right now it's the other way around)
   • Clarify: should mods even be allowed to defined force-loaded assets?
3. Cache open JarFiles
4. Improve error message if /tx command has wrong number of arguments
5. Allow some assets to be downloaded server-side too (maybe introduce a new flag in Asset for it)
6. Re-add progress bar
7. Clean up RemoteHandler
