PiMi (Minecraft Launcher Core) is a NodeJS solution for launching modded and vanilla Minecraft without having to download and format everything yourself.
Basically a core for your Electron or script based launchers.
### Getting support
Since people seem to use this, I've created a Discord server for anyone who needs to get in contact with me or get help!

### Installing
`npm i minecraft-launcher-core`
### Standard Example
```javascript
const { Client, Authenticator } = require("minecraft-launcher-core");
const launcher = new Client();
let opts = {
// For production launchers, I recommend not passing
// the getAuth function through the authorization field and instead
// handling authentication outside before you initialize
// PiMi so you can handle auth based errors and validation!
authorization: Authenticator.getAuth("username", "password"),
root: "./minecraft",
version: {
number: "1.14",
type: "release",
},
memory: {
max: "6G",
min: "4G",
},
};
launcher.launch(opts);
launcher.on("debug", (e) => console.log(e));
launcher.on("data", (e) => console.log(e));
```

#### IF YOU'RE NEW TO PiMi, LET IT HANDLE EVERYTHING! DO NOT USE OVERRIDES!
```js
let opts = {
otherOps...,
overrides: {
gameDirectory: '', // where the game process generates folders like saves and resource packs.
minecraftJar: '',
versionJson: '',
directory: '', // where the Minecraft jar and version json are located.
natives: '', // native directory path.
assetRoot: '',
assetIndex: '',
libraryRoot: '',
cwd: '', // working directory of the java process.
detached: true, // whether or not the client is detached from the parent / launcher.
classes: [], // all class paths are required if you use this.
minArgs: 11, // The amount of launch arguments specified in the version file before it adds the default again
maxSockets: 2, // max sockets for downloadAsync.
// The following is for launcher developers located in countries that have the Minecraft and Forge resource servers
// blocked for what ever reason. They obviously need to mirror the formatting of the original JSONs / file structures.
url: {
meta: 'https://launchermeta.mojang.com', // List of versions.
resource: 'https://resources.download.minecraft.net', // Minecraft resources.
mavenForge: 'http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/', // Forge resources.
defaultRepoForge: 'https://libraries.minecraft.net/', // for Forge only, you need to redefine the library url
// in the version json.
fallbackMaven: 'https://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath='
},
// The following is options for which version of ForgeWrapper PiMi uses. This allows us to launch modern Forge.
fw: {
baseUrl: 'https://github.com/ZekerZhayard/ForgeWrapper/releases/download/',
version: '1.5.1',
sh1: '90104e9aaa8fbedf6c3d1f6d0b90cabce080b5a9',
size: 29892,
},
logj4ConfigurationFile: ''
}
}
```
#### Notes
##### Custom
If you are loading up a client outside of vanilla Minecraft or Forge (Optifine and for an example), you'll need to download the needed files yourself if you don't provide downloads url downloads like Forge and Fabric. If no version jar is specified, PiMi will default back to the normal MC jar so mods like Fabric work.
##### Installer
This runs an executable with specified launch arguments. Was used to support Forge 1.13 before ForgeWrapper.
##### Authentication
PiMi's authenticator module does not support Microsoft authentication. You will need to use a library like [MSMC](https://github.com/Hanro50/MSMC). If you want to create your own solution, the following is the authorization JSON object format.
```js
{
access_token: '',
client_token: '',
uuid: '',
name: '',
user_properties: '{}',
meta: {
type: 'mojang' || 'msa',
demo: true || false, // Demo can also be specified by adding 'is_demo_user' to the options.feature array
// properties only exists for specific Minecraft versions.
xuid: '',
clientId: ''
}
}
```
