Rift Loader

Rift is a lightweight modding API, library, and mod loader for Minecraft 1.13 and beyond. The main objective of Rift is to make a more modular and lightweight modding API for Minecraft.

This fork contains the port of the loader part of Rift to the modern Minecraft versions(1.13 and beyond). For Minecraft 1.13 see here.

Using the Minecraft Launcher

Currently, Rift Loader has an installer for the official launcher. You can edit a profile by yourself anyway.

Here is an example:

{
  "inheritsFrom": "1.18.2",
  "id": "Rift-1.18.2-2.0.0-20220326-1727",
  "jar": "1.18.2",
  "time": "2022-02-14T19:22:32+0800",
  "type": "release",
  "arguments": {
    "game": [
      "--tweakClass",
      "org.dimdev.riftloader.launch.RiftLoaderClientTweaker"
    ]
  },
  "mainClass": "net.minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch",
  "libraries": [
    {
      "name": "org.spongepowered:mixin:0.8.5",
      "url": "https://repo.spongepowered.org/repository/maven-public/"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.ow2.asm:asm:9.2",
      "url": "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.ow2.asm:asm-tree:9.2",
      "url": "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.ow2.asm:asm-commons:9.2",
      "url": "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.ow2.asm:asm-util:9.2",
      "url": "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.ow2.asm:asm-analysis:9.2",
      "url": "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/"
    },
    {
      "name": "cn.enaium:launchwrapper:1.3.0",
      "url": "https://maven.enaium.cn/"
    },
    {
      "name": "org.dimdev:RiftLoader:2.0.0-20220326-1704",
      "url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CliffhangerMC/mvn-repo/main/"
    }
  ]
}

Using MultiMC

Modified original documentation from the Rift Wiki

1. Make a new instance in MultiMC with with the wanted version of Minecraft—in our case, Minecraft 1.18.2
2. Click Edit Instance—it should open the Version page of the instance.
3. Click Add Empty.
4. Set uid to org.dimdev.RiftLoader and name to RiftLoader.
5. Select the newly created component and click Edit—this should open the file in a text editor.
6. Edit the JSON to look like the example below, then save the file.
7. Launch the instance from MultiMC.

If the example doesn't fit the Rift Loader version exactly, change the version. For example, replace all occurrences of 2.0.0-20220326-1524 with 2.0.0-20220326-1727.

You can use the version page to check the file for errors—obvious mistakes will show up in the Version page as soon as you click the Refresh button.

If the JSON file doesn't open in a text editor, make sure your operating system is set up to open .json files in one first.
