mcaselector-1.9.11

on GitHub

This release adds a few minor features and fixes some bugs.

Details:

• Chunk filter and NBT Changer now support Biome IDs. Custom IDs can be used when they are quoted using single quotes.
• Updated NBT to 5.3.
• settings.ini is no longer incorrectly saved inside the cache folder, but in the same directory as the mcaselector.jar.
• Checking for a new version via the About dialog didn't work with versions that had multiple digits.
• Removed redundant Manifest section in shadowJar Gradle task.

"Requirements":

• Either:
  • JRE 8+, you can get it from HERE
  • A Minecraft Java Edition installation
• A computer
• A brain

If you have Java from Oracle installed on your system

Most likely, .jar files are associated with java on your computer, it should therefore launch by simply double clicking the file (or however your OS is configured to open files using your mouse or keyboard). If not, you can try java -jar mcaselector-1.9.11.jar from your console. If this doesn't work, you might want to look into how to modify the PATH variable on your system to tell your system that java is an executable program.

If you have Minecraft Java Edition installed on your system

Minecraft Java Edition comes with a JRE that you can use to start the MCA Selector, so there is no need to install another version of java on your system. On Windows, that java version is usually located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\bin\ and once inside this folder you can simply run java.exe -jar <path-to-mcaselector-1.9.11.jar>. On Mac OS you should find it in ~/Library/Application\ Support/minecraft/runtime/jre-x64/jre.bundle/Contents/Home/bin/ where you can execute ./java -jar <path-to-mcaselector-1.9.11.jar>.

WARNING: For macOS 10.14+ (Mojave) It is NOT recommended to use the JRE provided by Minecraft (1.8.0_74), because it contains a severe bug that causes JavaFX applications to crash when they lose focus while a dialog window (such as the save-file-dialog) is open (see the bug report here). This bug has been fixed in Java 1.8.0_201 and above.

If you are using OpenJDK

If you are using a distribution of OpenJDK, you have to make sure that it comes with JavaFX, as it is needed to run the MCA Selector. Some distributions like AdoptOpenJDK (shipped with most Linux distributions) do not ship with JavaFX by default. On Debian distributions, an open version of JavaFX is contained in the openjfx package. This or some other installation of JavaFX is required to run the .jar.

If you are using Java 11 or higher

If you are using Java 11 or higher, the JavaFX modules are not included automatically. You will need to include them by specifying the module path for JavaFX. Some examples are included below, but you may need to edit paths if your system stores the JavaFX modules in a different location.

On Windows with Oracle Java 13:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-13.0.1\bin\java.exe" --module-path "C:\Program Files\Java\javafx-sdk-13.0.1\lib" --add-modules ALL-MODULE-PATH -jar mcaselector-1.9.11.jar

On Debian with OpenJDK 11 and openjfx:

java --module-path /usr/share/openjfx/lib --add-modules ALL-MODULE-PATH -jar mcaselector-1.9.11.jar

If none of these instructions work, apply "A brain" that you providently held ready after having read the "Requirements" section carefully.
