Description

PackPulseMod

PackPulseMod is an open-source client-side updater for private Minecraft modpacks.

It is designed for server owners and small communities who want players to keep their pack folders in sync without shipping a full launcher.

PackPulseMod is not tied to any specific server. You host your own files and manifest.json, then set the manifest URL in the client config.

Features

  • Syncs missing or changed files on Minecraft startup
  • Uses SHA-256 hashes for file checks
  • Supports mods, config, resourcepacks, shaderpacks, extra top-level mod folders, and optional options.txt
  • Shows a confirmation screen before downloading
  • Lets players choose which files to download
  • Includes a scrollable file list
  • Shows clean mod/file names without .jar, .zip, .txt, etc.
  • Has a Download all button
  • Supports HTTP and HTTPS manifest URLs
  • Supports explicit file removal through the manifest delete list
  • Can optionally remove stale files that are no longer in the manifest
  • Shows a restart screen when updated .jar mods require a restart

Supported Builds

Loader Minecraft versions
Fabric 1.20.1 - 1.20.6
Fabric 1.21 - 1.21.11
NeoForge 1.20.5 - 1.20.6
NeoForge 1.21 - 1.21.11

Client Setup

  1. Install the correct Fabric Loader or NeoForge version.
  2. Put the matching PackPulseMod jar into .minecraft/mods.
  3. Start Minecraft once to create the config.
  4. Close Minecraft.
  5. Open:
.minecraft/config/packpulse.json
  1. Replace the example manifestUrl with your own URL:
{
  "manifestUrl": "https://your-domain.example/packpulse/manifest.json",
  "removeFilesMissingFromManifest": false,
  "updateOnStartup": true,
  "showProgressWindow": true,
  "autoRestartAfterModUpdates": false,
  "restartExecutable": ""
}

The default URL is only a placeholder. You must host your own manifest.

Server Pack Layout

Put pack files on your server like this:

server-pack/
  mods/
  config/
  defaultconfigs/
  kubejs/
  resourcepacks/
  shaderpacks/
  options.txt

options.txt is optional.

Manifest

PackPulseMod expects a JSON manifest with file paths, download URLs, SHA-256 hashes, and an optional delete list for files that should be removed from clients.

The repository includes scripts that can generate and deploy this manifest automatically. When a previously published file disappears from the server pack, the generator adds it to delete, so old renamed mods can be removed safely.

Example script workflow:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/packpulse/scripts /opt/packpulse/server-pack
cd /opt/packpulse

curl -fsSL -o scripts/generate_manifest.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kamilhik/PackPulseMod/main/scripts/generate_manifest.py
curl -fsSL -o scripts/deploy_http_ip.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kamilhik/PackPulseMod/main/scripts/deploy_http_ip.sh
curl -fsSL -o scripts/deploy_https_letsencrypt.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kamilhik/PackPulseMod/main/scripts/deploy_https_letsencrypt.sh
chmod +x scripts/deploy_http_ip.sh scripts/deploy_https_letsencrypt.sh

HTTP by IP:

sudo ./scripts/deploy_http_ip.sh --server-ip YOUR_SERVER_IP

HTTPS with domain and Let's Encrypt:

sudo ./scripts/deploy_https_letsencrypt.sh --domain files.example.com --email [email protected]

After changing your pack files, run the same deploy script again.

Notes

  • This mod is client-side.
  • It is meant for private packs, server packs, and community packs.
  • For public releases, test the edge versions of each supported Minecraft range.

Русский

PackPulseMod - это open-source клиентский мод для автоматического обновления приватных Minecraft-сборок.

Он подходит для владельцев серверов и небольших сообществ, которым нужно синхронизировать папки сборки у игроков без отдельного лаунчера.

PackPulseMod не привязан к конкретному серверу. Ты размещаешь свои файлы и manifest.json, а затем указываешь ссылку на manifest в конфиге клиента.

Возможности

  • Синхронизация отсутствующих или измененных файлов при запуске Minecraft
  • Проверка файлов по SHA-256
  • Поддержка mods, config, resourcepacks, shaderpacks, дополнительных папок модов и опционального options.txt
  • Экран подтверждения перед скачиванием
  • Выбор, какие файлы скачивать
  • Список файлов со скроллом
  • Красивые названия файлов без .jar, .zip, .txt и других расширений
  • Кнопка Скачать всё
  • Поддержка HTTP и HTTPS ссылок на manifest
  • Явное удаление файлов через список delete в manifest
  • Опциональное удаление устаревших файлов, которых больше нет в manifest
  • Экран перезапуска, если после обновления .jar-модов нужен перезапуск

Поддерживаемые Сборки

Лоадер Версии Minecraft
Fabric 1.20.1 - 1.20.6
Fabric 1.21 - 1.21.11
NeoForge 1.20.5 - 1.20.6
NeoForge 1.21 - 1.21.11

Настройка Клиента

  1. Установи подходящий Fabric Loader или NeoForge.
  2. Положи нужный jar PackPulseMod в .minecraft/mods.
  3. Запусти Minecraft один раз, чтобы создался конфиг.
  4. Закрой Minecraft.
  5. Открой:
.minecraft/config/packpulse.json
  1. Замени примерный manifestUrl на свою ссылку:
{
  "manifestUrl": "https://your-domain.example/packpulse/manifest.json",
  "removeFilesMissingFromManifest": false,
  "updateOnStartup": true,
  "showProgressWindow": true,
  "autoRestartAfterModUpdates": false,
  "restartExecutable": ""
}

Стандартная ссылка является только примером. Нужно разместить свой manifest.

Структура Серверной Сборки

Файлы сборки на сервере должны лежать так:

server-pack/
  mods/
  config/
  defaultconfigs/
  kubejs/
  resourcepacks/
  shaderpacks/
  options.txt

options.txt необязателен.

Manifest

PackPulseMod ожидает JSON manifest с путями файлов, ссылками для скачивания, SHA-256 хэшами и опциональным списком delete для удаления файлов у клиентов.

В репозитории есть скрипты, которые могут автоматически создать manifest и развернуть файлы на сервере. Если ранее опубликованный файл исчез из серверной сборки, генератор добавит его в delete, чтобы старые переименованные моды удалялись безопасно.

Пример:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/packpulse/scripts /opt/packpulse/server-pack
cd /opt/packpulse

curl -fsSL -o scripts/generate_manifest.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kamilhik/PackPulseMod/main/scripts/generate_manifest.py
curl -fsSL -o scripts/deploy_http_ip.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kamilhik/PackPulseMod/main/scripts/deploy_http_ip.sh
curl -fsSL -o scripts/deploy_https_letsencrypt.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kamilhik/PackPulseMod/main/scripts/deploy_https_letsencrypt.sh
chmod +x scripts/deploy_http_ip.sh scripts/deploy_https_letsencrypt.sh

HTTP по IP:

sudo ./scripts/deploy_http_ip.sh --server-ip YOUR_SERVER_IP

HTTPS через домен и Let's Encrypt:

sudo ./scripts/deploy_https_letsencrypt.sh --domain files.example.com --email [email protected]

После изменения файлов сборки просто запусти тот же deploy-скрипт снова.

Примечания

  • Мод работает на стороне клиента.
  • Подходит для приватных сборок, серверных сборок и сборок небольших сообществ.
  • Перед публичным релизом лучше проверить крайние версии каждого поддерживаемого диапазона Minecraft.
