I own said Tools/Pages/APIs etc. and want the scraping to stop!

• The json files are automatically built every three days by workflows, which scrape the data, if you are the owner of one of those APIs/Pages/Tools and want me to remove/stop the usage/scraping of said API/Page/Tool, please contact me I will take it down without hesitation!

Requirements:

• Java 8, 11, 16, 17, 21 installed and configured in the script.
• BuildTools downloaded from SpigotMC.

Usage:

1. Install required Java versions.
2. Update the script with Java paths.
3. Run the script to build JARs.

2. Vanilla Server Download Script

Fetches Minecraft release version information and identifies available server download links.

Output:

• Generates 'release_vanilla_downloads.json' file with all server.jar files directly downloadable from mojang for each version (only full releases).
• For the snapshots look into the 'snapshot_vanilla_downloads.json' file to download those directly from mojang.

---

3. PaperMC Crawler

Uses the PaperMC API to get the latest PaperMC builds.

Output:

• Generates paper_downloads.json with build links for each Minecraft version.

---

4. Sponge Crawler

Uses the Sponge API to get the latest builds.

Output:

• Generates sponge_downloads.json with build links for each (available) Minecraft version.

---

4. Fabric Crawler

Uses the Fabric API to get the latest builds.

Output:

• Generates release_fabric_downloads.json and snapshot_fabric_downloads.json with build links for each (available) Minecraft version.

---

5. Forge Crawler

Uses selenium on the forge download website to get the latest builds.

Output:

• Generates forge_downloads.json with build links for each (available) Minecraft version.

---

6. Spigot Crawler

Uses selenium on the files.mcjars.app website to get the latest builds.

Output:

• Generates spigot_downloads.json with build links for each (available) Minecraft version.

---

Dependencies

• Install required Python packages:

  • pip install selenium webdriver-manager requests
  • selenium & webdriver-manager are needed for getbukkit_crawler
  • requests is used in every API-crawler script

• Java Versions:

  • Only for the buildtools script needed
  • Ensure all required Java versions are installed for BuildTools, check the script's "java_paths" dict for that.

---

Future Plans

• Add all client downloads where possible in script and json-files.
• Implement the missing server/loader types with scripts and workflows (GitHub Actions) like neoforge and purpurmc.
• Maybe make the buildtools-script use multiple threads to enhance the build time.
• Automatically create a unified list containing direct download links for all Minecraft versions across all server types for the easiest access!
• Add auto download of newest buildtools to buildtools_script.
• Add automatic retrieval of all minecraft versions for all scripts that are hard-coded right now.

DMCA-Bukkit:

Due to licensing issues, Spigot and CraftBukkit cannot be distributed directly. You must compile them yourself using BuildTools. See the stupid thing for yourself: https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2014/2014-09-05-CraftBukkit.md

I don't host the spigot jar files, please contact files.mcjars.app for anything about that, I just hotlink.
