caml

A package and configuration management system for Minecraft server environments.

Note

caml is in pre-alpha, which is to say it probably doesn't work right now. You're welcome to check out the pre-alpha branch, but more than likely you won't find a piece of software you can actually run. When the poject reaches a state where there are some useable features, it will enter alpha and start getting versioned releases.

Planned Features:

Package management

• Support for installing all kinds of packages (plugins, mods, datapacks, resourcepacks, shaders)
• package.json style declarative package definitions
• Built-in sourcing from popular package sources (Modrinth, CurseForge, Smithed)
• Sourcing from git repos and pre-existing files (with custom build scripts where necessary)
• Simple interface for implementing your own package sources
• Automatic dependancy management

Configuration management

• Version controlled configuration file management for packages and server environments
• CLI interface for easily vewing and editing configuration files of supported formats
• Server startup system for generating server startup scripts

Mutli-server support

• One config accross all related servers (e.g. smp & creative)
• Manage core package list for all servers
• Manage exclusion and inclusion lists for individual servers or server groups
• Maintain package configuration differences for individual servers or server groups

Misc

• Full version control built-in, with git remote integration
• Built-in package versioning support with safe rollback features
• Robust CLI interface for ease of use
• Tools for intergrating easily into a CI/CD pipeline
• Support for building and packaging client modpacks

Not planned:

• Publish integrations with package repos
