kratos-core
is an open-source, elegant and battery-included Minecraft Launcher API module written in TypeScript in order to be the based of KratosLauncher.
- Allow to fetch, download, and search with fast access to minecraft manifest file.
- versioning in Minecraft with zero-configuration and simple line of code.
- Support workspace module, to reduce file system
kratos-core
was built on Node version 14.17.
npm
npm i kratos-core
yarn
yarn add kratos-core
The manifest included inside version module, which contains a VersionManager class to manage version.
const kratos = require("kratos-core");
// Fetch the manifest from mojang server and print it to console
kratos.version.fetchVersionManifest().then((versionManager) => {
console.log(versionManager.getRawManifest());
// Get the package info
console.log(versionManager.getPackageInfo("1.8"));
// {
// id: '1.8',
// type: 'release',
// url: 'https://piston-meta.mojang.com/v1/packages/9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a/1.8.json',

// sha1: '9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a',
// complianceLevel: 0
// }
});
versionManager
// Get the latest version package info of Minecraft
.getLatestReleasePackageInfo()
// Download the package using package info url
.fetchPackage()
.then((packageManager) => {
// Get a list of libraries for platform
// Platform: 'linux' | 'macos' | 'windows'
packageManager.getLibraries({
platform: "macos",
});
// Returns the raw version package as an object
packageManager.getVersionPackage();
});
Download a HTTP response by using node-fetch fetch method. The function startDownload()
it designing the be able to pass node-fetch options as needed.
// Create a download for the file 'https://piston-meta.mojang.com/v1/packages/9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a/1.8.json' at destination 1.8.json
const downloadProcess = kratos.download.createDownloadProcess({
destination: "1.8.json",
url: new URL(
"https://piston-meta.mojang.com/v1/packages/9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a/1.8.json"
),
});
// Start downloading the file, logging out if download success
downloadProcess
.startDownload()
.then((info) => {
console.log(
`Successfully download the 1.8.json file at "${info.destination}"`
);
})
.catch((err) => {
// Do something with error
});
// OR you can replace it by async/await
await downloadProcess.startDownload();
// passing node-fetch fetch options
await downloadProcess.startDownload({ follow: 5 }); // Only follow 5 redirect steps
It is possible to observe the progress of current downloading process by using DownloadProgress
// Create a new progress
const progress = new kratos.download.DownloadProgress();
// It passing the `data` stream event with buffer
progress.on("progress", (chunk) => {
console.log(`downloading ${chunk.length} bytes...`);
});
progress.on("error", () => {
/**
* Handle downloading error
*/
});
progress.on("finish", () => {
/**
* Handle post-download stage
*/
});
// Create a download for the file 'https://piston-meta.mojang.com/v1/packages/9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a/1.8.json' at destination 1.8.json
const downloadProcess = kratos.download.createDownloadProcess(
{
destination: "1.8.json",
url: new URL(
"https://piston-meta.mojang.com/v1/packages/9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a/1.8.json"
),
},
{
progress,
}
);
await downloadProcess.startDownload();
Sometimes, it is required to calculate the checksum value, kratos-core
have a built-in class to handle hashing the file. It is call DownloadHashObservation
// Create a new hash observation, the algorithm is changable
const hashObservation = new kratos.download.DownloadHashObservation("sha1");
// Create a download for the file 'https://piston-meta.mojang.com/v1/packages/9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a/1.8.json' at destination 1.8.json
const downloadProcess = kratos.download.createDownloadProcess(
{
destination: "1.8.json",
url: new URL(
"https://piston-meta.mojang.com/v1/packages/9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a/1.8.json"
),
},
{
hashObservation,
}
);
downloadProcess.startDownload().then(() => {
const checksum = hashObservation.digest().toString("hex");
console.log(
`The hash of the file is ${checksum}`
// actual: 9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a
// expect: 9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a
);
console.log(checksum === "9eb165eef46294062d8698c8a78e8ac914949e7a"); // true
});
