Usage

[dependencies]
lighty-version = "0.6.3"

use lighty_version::version_metadata::{VersionMetaData, VersionBuilder};

// Use version metadata
let metadata = VersionMetaData {
    id: "1.21".to_string(),
    main_class: "net.minecraft.client.main.Main".to_string(),
    // ... other fields
};

// Or use the builder
let builder = VersionBuilder::new()
    .id("1.21")
    .main_class("net.minecraft.client.main.Main")
    .build();

Types

VersionMetaData

Complete metadata for a Minecraft version including:

Version ID
Main class
Libraries
Assets
Arguments
Download URLs

VersionBuilder

Builder for constructing version metadata:

use lighty_version::version_metadata::VersionBuilder;

let builder = VersionBuilder::new()
    .id("1.21")
    .main_class("net.minecraft.client.main.Main")
    .asset_index("16")
    .build();

Integration

This crate is typically used with lighty-loaders to provide version information:

use lighty_loaders::version::Version;
use lighty_version::version_metadata::VersionMetaData;

// Version objects contain VersionMetaData internally
let version = Version::new(/* ... */);
let metadata: &VersionMetaData = version.get_metadata();
