, you can implement it and custom your own detecting rules. To load it, you should make another jar which containsMETA-INF/services/io.github.zekerzhayard.forgewrapper.installer.detector.IFileDetector

How to use (Outdated)
-
Download Forge installer for Minecraft 1.13+ here.
-
Download ForgeWrapper jar file at the release page.
-
Since ForgeWrapper 1.5.1, it no longer includes the json converter, so you need to build it by yourself:
- Download ForgeWrapper sources.
- Extract the zip and open terminal in the extracted folder.
- Run
./gradlew converter:build
command in terminal and get the jar from./converter/build/libs
-
Run the below command in terminal:
java -jar <ForgeWrapper.jar> --installer=<forge-installer.jar> [--instance=<instance-path>]
Notice: If you don't specify a MultiMC instance path, ForgeWrapper will create the instance folder in current working space.
-
If the instance folder which just created is not in
MultiMC/instances
folder, you just need to move to theMultiMC/instances
folder. -
Run MultiMC, and you will see a new instance named
forge-<mcVersion>-<forgeVersion>
.
