Adds the currency layer and the first-join experience.
Mods:
- Create: Numismatics 1.0.20 (currency, vendor blocks, piggy banks)
- Patchouli 1.21.1-93 (kept in pack for future rich manual book)
KubeJS scripts (server_scripts/):
- economy_policy.js remove ALL Waystones recipes; remove coin recipes
only (piggy banks etc. stay craftable for now)
- welcome.js first-login grant: 1 waystone + vanilla written-book
"Brass & Sigil Manual v1" (5 pages: welcome,
waystones, money, spawn plots, rules). Per-player
flag bnsWelcomeGranted in persistentData gates it.
KubeJS scripts (client_scripts/):
- jei_hides.js hide all Waystones items + 4 coin denominations from
the JEI ingredient list. Combined with the recipe
removal players never encounter these items via
normal play -- only via the welcome grant or the
bank exchange.
The written-book manual is the MVP placeholder. When more content lands
(plot system, dynamic exchange, etc.) it'll be replaced by a proper
Patchouli book authored as a tweak jar -- Patchouli's already in the
lockfile so no mod-add will be needed at that point.
Brass & Sigil
Self-hosted Minecraft modpack distribution + administration system. Three components, one repo:
brass-and-sigil/
├── launcher/ ← Avalonia desktop client (Windows .NET 8)
│ Auths with Microsoft, syncs the modpack, launches the game.
├── server/ ← brass-sigil-server daemon (Linux .NET 8)
│ Wraps the MC subprocess, exposes the admin web panel,
│ syncs mods, runs backups + BlueMap, handles whitelist.
├── pack/ ← Modpack content
│ ├── pack.lock.json Source of truth for mod versions / URLs / hashes
│ ├── tweaks/ Hand-written data-only tweak source
│ └── overrides/ Build output / hand-placed local files (gitignored)
├── scripts/ ← Build + deploy entry points (run from repo root)
│ ├── Update-Pack.ps1 Refresh pack.lock.json from Modrinth/CurseForge
│ ├── Check-Updates.ps1 Non-mutating "what's new?" report
│ ├── Build-Tweaks.ps1 Compile tweaks/ into pack/overrides/mods/*.jar
│ ├── Build-Pack.ps1 Generate manifest.json from the lockfile
│ └── Deploy-Brass.ps1 One-shot build + deploy everything
└── docs/ ← Operational notes, deploy runbook, schema docs
Quick start
# Pull dependencies, copy and edit the deploy profile
git clone <remote> brass-and-sigil
cd brass-and-sigil
Copy-Item scripts\deploy.config.template.ps1 scripts\deploy.config.ps1
notepad scripts\deploy.config.ps1 # fill in deploy share, SSH host, etc.
# Build + deploy everything in one go
.\scripts\Deploy-Brass.ps1
deploy.config.ps1 is gitignored -- local values never get committed.
Component reference
| Component | What it does | Technology |
|---|---|---|
launcher/ |
Friend-distributed client. Auths with Microsoft via WebView2 + XboxAuthNet, downloads mods, launches Minecraft. Single self-contained .exe published from publish/. |
Avalonia 12 + CmlLib.Core |
server/ |
Daemon running alongside the MC process on Linux. Hosts a Kestrel web panel for admin (cookie-auth, rate-limited), bridges RCON, runs scheduled backups + BlueMap renders, handles whitelist requests. | ASP.NET Core minimal APIs |
pack/ |
Lockfile-driven modpack content. pack.lock.json resolves mod slug → URL+SHA-1; Build-Pack.ps1 walks it and produces manifest.json for the launcher and the server-tool to consume. |
PowerShell tooling |
Workflow
- Bump mod versions:
.\scripts\Update-Pack.ps1(queries Modrinth + manual CurseForge entries). - Sanity-check:
.\scripts\Check-Updates.ps1for a non-mutating availability report. - Edit tweaks under
pack/tweaks/<name>/if you're changing recipes / loot / etc. - Deploy:
.\scripts\Deploy-Brass.ps1-- builds launcher + server, regenerates manifest, mirrors everything to the deploy share, scp's the server binary.
