# MultiMC 0.4.8
|
|
|
|
Fluffy and functional!
|
|
|
|
## **IMPORTANT**
|
|
|
|
- GH-1402: MultiMC will keep its binary filename after an update if you rename it.
|
|
|
|
Note that this doesn't happen with this (0.4.8) update yet, because the old update method is still used.
|
|
|
|
If you renamed `MultiMC.exe` for any reason, you will have to manually remove the renamed file after the update and rename the new `MultiMC.exe`.
|
|
|
|
Future updates should no longer have this issue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## New featueres
|
|
|
|
- GH-1047, GH-1233: MultiMC now includes basic Minecraft world management.
|
|
|
|
This is a new page in the console/edit instance window.
|
|
|
|
You can:
|
|
- Copy worlds
|
|
- Delete worlds
|
|
- Copy the world seed value
|
|
- Run MCEdit - the MCEdit feature has been moved here.
|
|
|
|
- GH-1217: MultiMC now tracks instance play time and displays it when the instance is selected.
|
|
|
|
- New buttons on the top toolbar:
|
|
- GH-1238: button for the [MultiMC subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/MultiMC/).
|
|
- GH-1397: button for joining the [MultiMC discord voice/chat server](https://discord.gg/0k2zsXGNHs0fE4Wm).
|
|
|
|
Both are there for you to interact with other MultiMC users and us.
|
|
|
|
- GH-253, GH-1300: MultiMC can now be started with the `-l "Instance ID"` parameter, launching the specified instance directly.
|
|
|
|
## Improvements
|
|
|
|
- Instance list
|
|
- GH-1121: Instances are now selected after you create them.
|
|
- GH-93: When copying an instance, you can tell MultiMC to not copy the worlds.
|
|
|
|
- Mod and resource pack lists
|
|
- GH-1237: Mod info is now clickable and selectable.
|
|
- GH-1322: Mod description `...` link will no longer pop up multiple dialogs.
|
|
- GH-1178: When dragged and dropped, folder based mods and resource packs will be copied properly on OSX.
|
|
|
|
- MCEdit integration:
|
|
- GH-1009: MCEdit Unified on linux is now recognized properly.
|
|
|
|
- Mojang login and accounts:
|
|
- GH-1158: An unique ID is generated on the MultiMC side before login, instead of letting the server decide.
|
|
- When a password is required, the user login is partially obscured.
|
|
- Dropdown menu on the main window now lists profiles, not accounts.
|
|
|
|
- Modpacks:
|
|
- GH-1140: Modpack downloads now check for update on the server even if the file is alreaddy locally available.
|
|
- GH-1148: When creating an instance from modpack, the instance name will be guessed based on the modpack file or URL (unless you set it yourself).
|
|
- GH-1280: While importing modpacks, the progress dialog now says what is happening.
|
|
- When selecting the modpack fiels in the new instance dialog, the contents are selected for easy replacement.
|
|
|
|
- Instance settings
|
|
- Wrapper commands now use the proper UI field and do not get replaced with pre-launch commands.
|
|
|
|
- Minecraft launching:
|
|
- GH-1053, GH-1338: Minecraft launching has been completely redone.
|
|
- GH-1275: Server resource pack folder is created on launch.
|
|
- This is a workaround for Minecraft bug MCL-3732.
|
|
- GH-1320: Improve compatibility with non-Oracle Java.
|
|
- GH-1355: MMC environment will no longer leak into Minecraft after MultiMC updates itself.
|
|
|
|
- Minecraft log:
|
|
- Java exception detection in Minecraft logs has been improved.
|
|
- GH-719: You can now use your own [paste.ee](https://paste.ee/) account for uploading logs.
|
|
- New [paste.ee](https://paste.ee/) settings page has been added to the global settings dialog.
|
|
- GH-1197: Text colors in log window now adapt to the background color.
|
|
- GH-1164: The censor filter could be initialized with empty values, leading to unreadable log.
|
|
- GH-1008, GH-1046, GH-1067: Log size limiting.
|
|
|
|
The log window now has a configurable limit for the number of lines remembered. You can also specify whether it stops logging or forgets on the fly once the limit is breached.
|
|
|
|
This prevents the MultiMC log window from using too much memory on logging. The default limit is 100000 lines and the logging stops.
|
|
|
|
Minecraft logging this much is a sign of a problem that needs to be fixed. Any complaints should be addressed to the responsible mod authors.
|
|
|
|
- Screenshot upload
|
|
- GH-1339: While uploading screenshots, the console window will not close (prevents a crash).
|
|
|
|
- Other logs:
|
|
- GH-926: 'Other Logs' now has a button for removing all log files.
|
|
- Hidden log files are shown in 'Other logs'.
|
|
|
|
- User skins:
|
|
- MultiMC now uses [crafatar.com](https://crafatar.com/) for skin downloads instead of the Mojang servers.
|
|
|
|
- Java:
|
|
- GH-1365: MultiMC now supports Java 9 and its new version numbering.
|
|
- GH-1262: Java can now be placed in a folder relative to MultiMC's folder. This allows bundling of JREs with MultiMC.
|
|
|
|
- Translations:
|
|
- GH-1313: Some parts of the MultiMC user interface have been marked as 'not for translation'.
|
|
|
|
## Internals and internal bug fixes
|
|
|
|
- GH-1052: All the dependencies were rebuilt and the build environment upgraded to the latest compiler versions.
|
|
- GH-1051: The CDPATH environment variable is now ignored.
|
|
- GH-77, GH-1059, GH-1060: The MultiMC updater is no longer used or necessary.
|
|
|
|
It is only present to preserve compatibility with previous versions.
|
|
Updates now work properly on Windows systems when you have unicode (like ❄, Ǣ or Ω) characters in the path.
|
|
|
|
- GH-1069, GH-1100: `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` and `LD_PRELOAD` environment variables supplied to MultiMC now don't affect MultiMC, but affect the launched game.
|
|
|
|
This means you can use something like the Steam overlay in MultiMC instances on linux.
|
|
If you need to use these variables for MultiMC itself, you can use `MMC_LIBRARY_PATH` and `MMC_PRELOAD` instead.
|
|
|
|
- GH-1389: External processes (like folder views, editors, etc.) are now started in a way that prevents the MultiMC environment to be reused by them.
|
|
- GH-1355: If `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` contains any of MultiMC's internal folders, this will not propagate to started processes.
|
|
- GH-1231, GH-1378: libpng is now included with the linux version of MultiMC
|
|
- GH-1202: SSL certificates are now rebuilt on start on OSX.
|
|
|
|
- GH-1303: Translations and notification cache are stored in the normal data folder now, not alongside the binaries. This only affects third party linux packaging.
|
|
- GH-1266, GH-1301,
|
|
- GH-1360: Development and other unstable versions of MultiMC now uses github commits instead of this manually maintained changelog.
|
|
|
|
# Previous releases
|
|
|
|
## 0.4.7
|
|
|
|
This is what 0.4.6 should have been. Oh well, at least it's here now!
|
|
|
|
### Functional changes
|
|
- GH-974: A copy of the libstdc++ library is now included in linux releases, improving compatibility
|
|
- GH-985: Jar mods are now movable and removable after adding
|
|
- GH-983: Use `minecraft.jar` as the main jar when using jar mods - fixes NEI in Legacy Minecraft versions
|
|
- GH-977: Fix FTB paths on Windows
|
|
|
|
This removes some very old compatibility code. If you get any issues, make sure you run the FTB Launcher and let it update its files.
|
|
- GH-992 and GH-1003: Improved performance when saving settings:
|
|
- Bad performance was caused by improved data consistency
|
|
- Each config file is now saved only once, not once for every setting
|
|
- When loading FTB instances, there are no writes to config files anymore
|
|
- GH-991: Implemented wrapper command functionality:
|
|
|
|
There is an extra field in the MultiMC Java settings that allows running Java inside a wrapper program or script. This means you can run Minecraft with wrappers like `optirun` and get better performance with hybrid graphics on linux without workarounds.
|
|
- GH-997: Fixed saving of multi-line settings. This fixes notes.
|
|
- GH-967: It is now possible to add patches (Forge and LiteLoader) to tracked FTB instances properly.
|
|
|
|
Libraries added by the patches will be taken from MultiMC's `libraries` folder, while the tracked patches will use FTB's folders.
|
|
|
|
- GH-1011 and GH-1015: Fixed various issues when the patch versions aren't complete
|
|
|
|
This applies when Minecraft versions are missing or when patches are broken and the profile is manipulated by adding, moving, removing, customizing and reverting patches.
|
|
|
|
- GH-1021: Builtin legacy Minecraft versions aren't customizable anymore
|
|
|
|
The internal format for Legacy Minecraft versions does not translate to the external patch format and would cause crashes
|
|
- GH-1016: MultiMC prints a list of mods, coremods (contents of the coremods folder) and jar mods to the log on instance start. This should help with troubleshooting.
|
|
- GH-1031: Icons are exported and imported along with instances
|
|
|
|
This only applies if the icon was custom (not built-in) when exporting and the user doesn't choose an icon while importing the pack.
|
|
|
|
### UI changes
|
|
- GH-970: Fixed help button for the External tools and Accounts dialog pages not linking to the proper wiki places
|
|
- Same for the Versions dialog page
|
|
|
|
- GH-994: Rearranged the buttons on the Versions page to make jar mods less prominent
|
|
|
|
Using the `Add jar mods` button will also show a nag dialog until it's been used successfully
|
|
|
|
## 0.4.6
|
|
|
|
Long time coming, this release brought a lot of incremental improvements and fixes.
|
|
|
|
### Functional changes
|
|
- Old version.json and custom.json version files will be transformed into a minecraft version patch:
|
|
- The process is automated
|
|
- LWJGL entries are stripped from the original file - you may have to re-do LWJGL version customizations
|
|
- Old files will be renamed - .old extension is added
|
|
- It's now possible to:
|
|
- Customize, edit and revert builtin version patches (Minecraft, LWJGL)
|
|
- Edit custom version patches (Forge, LiteLoader, other)
|
|
- Blocked various environment variables from affecting Minecraft:
|
|
- `JAVA_ARGS`
|
|
- `CLASSPATH`
|
|
- `CONFIGPATH`
|
|
- `JAVA_HOME`
|
|
- `JRE_HOME`
|
|
- `_JAVA_OPTIONS`

|
|

|
|
- PermGen settings:

|
- MultiMC now recognizes the Java version used and will not add PermGen settings to Java >= 1.8
|
|
- Implemented simple modpack import and export feature:
|
|
- Export allows selecting which files go into the resulting zip archive
|
|
- Only MultiMC instances for now, other pack formats are planned
|
|
- Import is either from local file or URL, URL can't have ad/click/pay gates
|
|
- Instance copy doesn't follow symlinks on Linux anymore
|
|
- Still does on Windows because copying symlinks requires Administrator level access
|
|
- Instance delete doesn't follow symlinks anymore - anywhere
|
|

|
|
- Log uploads now follow the maximum allowed paste sizes of paste.ee and are encoded properly

|
|
