# Third-party libraries

This folder has third-party or otherwise external libraries needed for other parts to work.

## filesystem

Gulrak's implementation of C++17 std::filesystem for C++11 /C++14/C++17/C++20 on Windows, macOS, Linux and FreeBSD.

See [github repo](https://github.com/gulrak/filesystem).

MIT licensed.

## gamemode

A performance optimization daemon.

See [github repo](https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode).

BSD-3-Clause licensed

## cmark

The C reference implementation of CommonMark, a standardized Markdown spec.

See [github_repo](https://github.com/commonmark/cmark).

BSD2 licensed.

## javacheck

Simple Java tool that prints the JVM details - version and platform bitness.

Do what you want with it. It is so trivial that noone cares.

## Katabasis

Oauth2 library customized for Microsoft authentication.

This is a fork of the [O2 library](https://github.com/pipacs/o2).

MIT licensed.

## launcher

Java launcher part for Minecraft.

It does the following:

- Waits for a launch script on stdin.
- Consumes the launch script you feed it.
- Proceeds with launch when it gets the `launcher` command.

If "abort" is sent, the process will exit.

This means the process is essentially idle until the final command is sent. You can, for example, attach a profiler before you send it.

The `standard` and `legacy` launchers are available.

- `standard` can handle launching any Minecraft version, at the cost of some extra features `legacy` enables (custom window icon and title).
- `legacy` is intended for use with Minecraft versions < 1.6 and is deprecated.

Example (some parts have been censored):

```
