Hello Fellow Modders,
I am currently running a server with lots of mods on it. I was hopping to figure out how to create a custom launcher that checked my server for the newest modded minecraft.jar. I want to be able to do this so it is easier for less experienced users to use my custom jar. After scouring the internet for hours I have yet to find default minecraft launcher source. If anyone can help me with this project I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in Advanced,
GeekGuy96

I can write HTML and PHP. I also have a book on Java if I absolutely couldn't fudge my way through this without large amounts of experience. I also have people working with me who do know Java so this is more of asking for them. I asked about modifying the existing launcher because it just seemed a hell of a lot easier. If you know anything about the launcher you know that inside the contents of either the minecraft.exe or minecraft.app, you know that its just a script for launching a minecraftlauncher.jar which does all the work. But thanks for being useless everyone who posted. In the future don't post unless your answer is helpful

Thanks so much man,
I wasn't saying that I thought that php was like Java someone had asked if I had any programming experience. How would I go about decompiling the minecraftlauncher.jar? Would I use mcp some how?
Thanks so much,

Its easy to do so although you have enough skills in Web development and the launcher isn't a jar-like file that you can just decompile using some programs, You should try zombiecraft first and you will notice that the launcher's web redirection was altered, using that method(XML AUTO-FTP)you can automatically update your minecraft.jar or whatever it is also you need to change the classpath and some parameters in minecraft.java applet thingy(decompile the jars first)
I'm also using this on my total conversion mod for server and client! If you don't have any experience in XML programming, i can make the updater for you just PM me and i'll do it!(If i have enough time)
