Creating & interfacing with minecraft instances via command line arguments

[localhost4096]

Role

I make modpack-building software that will interface with MultiMC

Suggestion

Create new command line arguments for creating and interfacing with Minecraft instances

Benefit

So that my software, along others, would not have to create their own launchers

This suggestion is unique

• I have searched the issue tracker and did not find an issue describing my suggestion, especially not one that has been rejected.

You may use the editor below to elaborate further.

These five new arguments should suffice our needs

--new version modloader
    instancename            Name of the instance
    version                 Version installed on the instance
    modloader               (Optional) modloader to be installed with the instance
--disablemod instance_id modname
    instance_id             instance target
    modname                 Name of the mod
--deletemod instance_id modname
    instance_id             instance target
    modname                 Name of the mod
--setoption instance_id option=any
    option                  any valid setting on the instance
    any                     any valid value
    instance_id             instance target
--login
   very self-explanatory here
