JAR Download Utility

Download Game JAR

Gorp, by default, will download the latest stable version of the MC Paper JAR on installation. For most, that’s fine. However, for those others, Gorp provides a way to download all game versions of the MC Paper JAR and other JAR files.

Once you’ve downloaded your JAR, be sure to change the settings for the server you’d like to run that JAR.

Download by Game Version

gorp get-jar -g [gamever]

Where “gamever” is the game version, like “1.21.4”.

This will download the JAR file to the Gorp “jars” folder. It will also return the path to the file so you can easily copy/paste it into your server settings.

Supported MC Paper Game Versions

Download From URL

gorp get-jar -u [URL]

This will download the JAR file in the link and put it in ~/gorpmc/jars/

IMPORTANT NOTICES (please read them all):

  • Gorp is designed around and only tested with the Paper server software. However, other similar server softwares (like Craftbukkit) are likely compatible.
  • The server must have a bukkit-like world structure, with three separate world directories.
  • Vanilla JARs are not supported.
  • The provided download URL must be a .jar file, not an archive (zip/tarball, etc).
  • By downloading potentially untested software, you acknowledge that Gorp may not behave as expected and may cause unexpected file loss and/or extreme amounts of inconvenience.
  • If unsure, you can always manually download a JAR file using wget, curl, or another similar tool to ~/gorpmc/jars/
