manual install for 1.6.4
The most important thing to understand when installing manually is that the version you create must have a consistent id. You must use the same id for every part of the installation process. In the example below we will use the id 1.6.4-LiteLoader1.6.4
, if you choose a different id then you must alter this everywhere that the ID appears in order for the version to work.
installation steps
- First navigate to the
versions
folder inside your.minecraft
folder - Create a folder in
versions
with the id of your new version, eg.1.6.4-LiteLoader1.6.4
- Inside the new folder create an empty text file with the id of your new version and the extension
.json
, eg1.6.4-LiteLoader1.6.4.json
- Open the new file with a text editor and paste in the following JSON code:
{ "id": "1.6.4-LiteLoader1.6.4", "time": "2013-09-19T00:00:00-00:00", "releaseTime": "2013-09-19T00:00:00-00:00", "type": "release", "minecraftArguments": "--username ${auth_player_name} --session ${auth_session} --version ${version_name} --gameDir ${game_directory} --assetsDir ${game_assets} --tweakClass com.mumfrey.liteloader.launch.LiteLoaderTweaker", "libraries": [ { "name": "com.mumfrey:liteloader:1.6.4", "url": "http://dl.liteloader.com/versions/" }, { "name": "net.minecraft:launchwrapper:1.8" } ], "mainClass": "net.minecraft.launchwrapper.Launch", "minimumLauncherVersion": 16, "inheritsFrom": "1.6.4", "jar": "1.6.4" }
- If you are using a different id, then you must change the value of
id
at the top of the file to match - If you wish to inherit from a different version, for example a version of Minecraft Forge, then change the
inheritsFrom
value to indicate the version to inherit from- If you inherit from a different version, you must copy the
minecraftArguments
value from the other version and append:–tweakClass com.mumfrey.liteloader.launch.LiteLoaderTweaker
- Save the file and run the launcher
- Create a new Profile and select the version you just created.
- Launch the game and liteloader will be downloaded and installed automatically.
