jar-to-dll

A simple tool that allows you to pack your mod .jar file to .dll and inject it into running Minecraft

Usage

For building this I personally recommend using WSL on Windows or Linux

To build, you need these packages installed:

• g++-mingw-w64-x86-64
• Some kind of JDK (I prefer using Adoptium Temurin, all install instructions are available on their website)

Then, you need to drop your mod .jar as input.jar into the root directory of repo

And as a last step - just build it:

make build

As a result you'll get output.dll which you can inject
