I’ve continued work on this project, making 11 commits since my last devlog. I’ve continued to iterate on the mod selection and update my toolkit, which I also gave a seperate name from Sherbert for distinction and to denote it as an independent tool. Speaking of my toolkit, I used it for another project (still under wraps for now) and developed a solution for an issue I found there: Pre-build commands! When adding mods to the pack, STK adds all library mods by default, which hasn’t been a problem and keeps everything working. However, in one case a library mod was incompatible with certain other mods. The solution was to remove the library mod and replace it with a better alternative, but because it was a library mod it couldn’t be managed through STK at this point. My solution, probably the most simple way to do it, was to add a configuration option to give the modpack the ability to run packwiz commands right before the build process starts. This allows the modpack to be configured to automatically remove the problem causing mod and preserves the automatic build process, so that the issue can be dealt with even if building with the included CI system. In order to keep track of all the features I add to the packinfo configuration file, I have also been updating a template packinfo.toml which is heavily annotated for ease of use. A new Minecraft version, 26.3, has also just been released, so I’m starting work on Sherbert 6.0.0.
