AutoInstaller

AutoInstaller
Automatically prompt players to install server-required mods when joining.
How It Works
When a player connects to a server running AutoInstaller, they’ll see a mod selection screen showing all mods the server requires or recommends. Players can:

• Install Mods – Download and install selected mods directly
• Play – Join the server without installing (if no required mods are missing)
• Cancel – Return to the server list

Features

• Required & Recommended Mods – Server admins can mark mods as required (must install) or recommended (optional)
• Smart Detection – Automatically detects which mods the player already has installed
• Dependency Resolution – Automatically fetches mod dependencies from Modrinth
• No Restart Needed to Join – Click Play to join immediately after viewing the mod list
• Clean UI – Simple, intuitive mod selection screen

For Server Admins

Configure your mod list in config/autoinstaller/mods.json:

{
  mods: [
    {
      id: voicechat,
      name: Simple Voice Chat,
      category: REQUIRED,
      url: https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/9eGKb6K1/versions/xxx/voicechat-xxx.jar
    },
    {
      id: xaeros-minimap,
      name: Xaero's Minimap,
      category: RECOMMENDED,
      url: https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/1bokaNcj/versions/xxx/Xaeros_Minimap_xxx.jar
    }
  ]
}
