history

Project history and usage

pacmc is a cross-platform command-line package manager for Minecraft mods, with launcher functionality described as a future direction.

Project history

The project was created to reduce the effort required to install and keep Minecraft mods current. Its repository describes the launcher component as planned while presenting the package manager as already usable.

Adoption history

The official README documents installation through Homebrew on macOS and Linux, the AUR on Arch-derived systems, and Scoop on Windows.

How it is used

Users initialize a Minecraft mods directory as an archive, search for mods, install or remove content, and refresh or update managed archives. Custom archives can also represent server-side mod directories.

Why package nerds care

pacmc applies package-manager conventions—search, install, remove, update, list, and named archives—to the normally manual task of maintaining Minecraft mods.

Timeline

  • Current project documentation: Package-manager functionality is usable; launcher functionality remains planned.

Related projects

  • The client works with Minecraft mod ecosystems including Fabric, Forge, Quilt, Modrinth, and CurseForge.
