mcpackage is used to compile, obfuscate, and package Minecraft Mods by using Forge and MCP. Its primary use is to build and package PyMod and any other mods depending on PyMod for Minecraft.

This is still under development, not necessarily stable, lacks formal documentation, and has no examples.

• Refactor "build" command.
• Create "install" command to copy jar to minecraft directory.
• Create "run" command to run minecraft using proper Forge profile.
• Tutorial for how to build and package pymod.
• Make sure Python 3 and Jython 2.7 are fully supported.
• Make sure Windows is supported.
• Generate documentation.
  • https://github.com/MinecraftForge/FML/wiki/FML-mod-information-file
  • Document Jython installation:
    • http://stackoverflow.com/a/5849449/369450
• Later:
  • Make "init" command interactive.
  • Make sure Mac is supported.
