Talk:Client.json

assetIndex.url
assetIndex.url is described as "The URL that the game should visit to download the assets". But how does that actually work? It's just a single JSON file, which contains only hashes for the assets and URLs for client etc. Fabian42 (talk) 14:50, 8 April 2020 (UTC)


 * It uses the hash to download from this site https://resources.download.minecraft.net/ like so:

download from https://resources.download.minecraft.net/{hash} to minecraft/assets/objects/{hash}, where hash= the first 2 letters of the hash + / + hash -Prgg1234 (talk) 13:18, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

inheritsFrom property in forge
I discovered that forge's client.json uses a property called inheritsFrom. To launch forge you just use the vanilla launcher, so I am assuming that this property is part of the vanilla client.json format. I haven't done much research, so I don't know what it does. Doe anyone know what it does? If so, I think it should be added to this page. -Prgg1234 (talk) 13:18, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * We do not include information regarding third-party clients. BDJP (t 13:27, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the answer, but I was not talking about forge. I was just using it as an example for the 'inheritsFrom'. What I want to know (and if someone knows I think this should be added to the page) is what this vanilla (not third party) property does. Yes this is used by third-party clients, but it is a vanilla function. Prgg1234 (talk)
