Feature Request: Option to download full decompiled source (.zip/.jar)

[qborder]

Description:

Hi team,

First off, thanks for the tool. It's been incredibly useful for navigating the codebase so far.

The Request
It would be a huge help to have an option or button to download the fully decompiled source (like Minecraft 26.1) directly as a .zip or .jar file after it's processed.

Why it's needed
Right now, the project is great for letting us view the decompiled source (since beyond 1.21.11-pre1 is unobfuscated), but there isn't a straightforward way to download the whole thing to our local drives. Since I'm currently building some experimental rendering mods for 26.1, being able to quickly download the full source archive to hook directly into my IDE would speed up my workflow a lot.

Having that local archive makes deep searches and offline referencing much smoother.

Would love to hear your thoughts on adding this. Thanks for all the hard work!

Note: If you guys are busy right now and this is something you'd want to look into later, just let me know. I wouldn't mind trying to put together a PR for it myself if it helps!

For modding projects, it's likely much better to decompile the MC jar using your modloader's respective build tools. For Fabric, you would set up the modding environment and use the genSources task to decompile it and then be able to navigate it locally.

Mcsrc.dev shouldn't be a website that offers downloading decompiled jars freely, it's a tool to be able to decompile and browse when you don't want to set up a modding environment just to view the code for unobfuscated versions.

I mean, true, But it still will be a nice way to do that, and its nothing illegal its just pretty much having the files on ur disk instead of viewing on the browser

and for the genSources task, it literally wants to crash my pc with how much resources it uses, and i waited like 30 minute and it still havent finished

And its just a easy request to add

Mcsrc.dev wouldn't do much different from genSources for your feature request, though. It'd download the jar onto your PC, decompile the entire jar much like Loom does, attach the generated sources jar, and then give you the decompiled jar.

If your PC can't handle a dedicated Java build tool decompiling the MC jar in your IDE, I'm uncertain about its ability to do the same in your browser, which is already susceptible to crashing due to how intensive it is to do.

Mcsrc.dev already warns you about how intensive that task is to do in the browser:

If you're encountering particular issues with running genSources that don't seem intended, I recommend making an issue on the official Loom repository with more details instead.

Nope, that Decompile Entire Jar works completely fine, I just wanted to have a option to download a zip file, Its fine like I dont see any issues with it, anyways, I used a local decompiler and a web decompiled, they decompiled it well enough for me
I dont mind anybodys opinions, Im just saying there isnt a clear reason to not add such a easy task?
Like its already working on my browser whats stopping you from making it a downloadable zip/jar file
