FileExtractor

Extract game files

IFileExtractor extracts all GameFile from a given version.

The library provides five built-in extractors:

• AssetFileExtractor: extract asset files (<game_directory>/assets/objects)

• ClientFileExtractor: extract version.jar file (<game_directory>/versions/<version>/<version>.jar)

• JavaFileExtractor: extract java files (<game_directory>/runtime)

• LibraryFileExtractor: extract library files (<game_directory>/libraries)

• LogFileExtractor: extract log config file (<game_directory>/assets/log_configs)

Any GameFile generated here is passed to GameInstaller, which would download a file if the file does not exist or its checksum is not equal.

Implement the IFileExtractor interface and add it to the launcher if you want the launcher to check and download more files (e.g. mod files). See MinecraftLauncherParameters
