A direct address to @finite reef and to those interested (Thank you and your team for the incredible effort in preserving MC's history so far!):

I am the developer for the CraftPresence Mod (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/craftpresence), designed to bring Discord Rich Presence across all major (and moddable) versions of Minecraft (Currently a1.1.2_01 up to 1.19.4, and the 1.20 snapshots). Whether it's through Risugami's ModLoader, Fabric, Forge, Rift (At one point), Legacy fabric, or Quilt -- CraftPresence was designed to be there for everyone, as one universal way to show others what you're playing.

Taking a look into BetaCraft's launcher, I didn't see a route to go about suggesting an addition, so I thought I'd ask you personally on whether it can be included in the mod's repository (Note however, CraftPresence is actively maintained on all major Beta and alpha MC versions, so this isn't really a "set it and forget about it" scenario -- updates to the mod do release quite frequently, with their share of bug fixes and new enhancements to the overall experience)

Either way, I'm interested to hear from you, and keep up the good work on BetaCraft and the archival effort in general 😄

BetaCraft has a discord rpc already

#

In fairness, just this as an RPC is quite locked up in my opinion.
If I felt this was enough, CraftPresence never would have been made.

#

Not to mention, BetaCraft's RPC being out of date in terms of what it can handle (Using a DLL implementation rather then an IPC style, which can cause OS incompatibilities; Missing functionality for custom images, single status, etc)

im not too sure if a fabric/forge mod would work in the launcher

@civic portal
please first make sure the mod can work on the launcher. make a sample .info file and try it out. if you can pull this off, i'll give you permission to post them on the mod repository

It also supports Risugami, like other jarmods xD
As Fabric/Forge do not exist for Beta/Alpha MC, so for Beta and alpha MC, its just a normal jarmod using risugami's modloader

ports of both do exist actually, i was thinking you used them ;p

civic portal Apr 14, 2023, 7:02 PM

Eh, there are ports for them on alpha/Beta MC, but they are a bit unstable, so I thought it was best to stick with the traditional loader for that time, which for jarmods would be risugami's

Pretty much 1.2.5 and below all use Risugami's modloader as a normal jarmod format 😄

there's fabric for beta 1.7.3 and it is pretty stable

I had heard about a certain fork for it, though part of having a mod supported for many different MC versions, is keeping the differences between them small
Given the sheer amount of Fabric forks out there and different mapping types, it can become a hassle to maintain
(Atm, it's 34 ports to CraftPresence, and that number can only increase with new MC versions)

@finite reef So at this time, CraftPresence is able to load in BetaCraft, by adding the ModLoader and CraftPresence files to the MC Jar (Typical Jarmod style)

I was unable to fully open the game, but thats mainly since my machine only has Java 17 on it atm, while ModLoader doesnt support Java 17 due to reflection api differences.
