# MCDL

Automatically download minecraft server jars in one line (or one click)

## Installation

- [Download](https://github.com/Meshiest/mcdl/releases) (Windows, Linux)
- Install via cargo: `cargo install mcdl`

## Examples

- `mcdl` - download latest server as `server.jar`
- `mcdl -s` - download latest snapshot jar
- `mcdl -sp` - print latest snapshot version
- `mcdl -n` - download latest server as `server-1.17.1.jar`
- `mcdl -n 1.16.5` - download 1.16.5 as `server-1.16.5.jar`

## Usage

```

    mcdl.exe [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] [--] [VERSION]...

    -h, --help        Prints help information
    -i, --insecure    Don't check the sha1 for the file

ARGS:
    <VERSION>...    Get a specific version
```

## Why?

I thought it would be fun to write in Rust. If you wanted a single line of bash to do it, use one of these (requires `jq`, `curl`, and `wget`):

- Download latest available (snapshot or release) minecraft server.jar

  ```sh
  curl -s $(curl -s "https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/game/version_manifest.json" | jq -r ".versions[0].url") | jq -r ".downloads.server.url" | xargs wget
  ```

- Download latest release minecraft server.jar

  ```sh
  curl -s $(curl -s "https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/game/version_manifest.json" | jq -r ".latest.release as \$v | .versions[] | select(.id == \$v) | .url") | jq -r ".downloads.server.url" | xargs wget
  ```

- Download latest snapshot minecraft server.jar

  ```sh
  curl -s $(curl -s "https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/game/version_manifest.json" | jq -r ".latest.snapshot as \$v | .versions[] | select(.id == \$v) | .url") | jq -r ".downloads.server.url" | xargs wget
  ```
