minepatch is Yet Another Minecraft mod loader. Most loaders require making at least an initial modification of the Minecraft jar, and the ones that don't I could never get to work consistently. I figure if I have to modify the jar anyway, I might as well just put all the mods in there while I'm at it. minepatch automates this process.

You'll need to have Python 2.6 or 2.7 installed.

If you'd like to clone the entire repository:

• git clone the repo into your .minecraft/bin directory.

If you'd rather just copy the patch.py file:

• Place patch.py directly into your .minecraft/bin directory.
• Edit patch.py and remove the ../ prefixes from the CLEAN, PATCHED, and MOD_DIR constants near the top of the file.

Regardless of how you "installed" the tool, you should now do the following:

• Make a copy of minecraft.jar and rename it to minecraft_clean.jar.
• Create a ModLibrary directory inside of .minecraft/bin.
• Place .zipped or extracted copies of the mods you want installed inside of ModLibrary.
• Run patch.py.

You should now have a minecraft.jar that includes the mods you copied into ModLibrary. Have fun.

Mods are installed in alphabetical order. You can rename the zipped mods if you need to force a specific ordering.

• Mods packaged as .rar aren't supported.
• This will (hopefully!) be obsolete once Minecraft 1.7 is released.
