What it is

PCL Community Edition (PCL-CE) is a community-maintained fork of Plain Craft Launcher, a C# desktop application for Minecraft server and client management. It adds features and improvements not yet in the upstream repository, including dependency resolution, cache management, save import helpers, and resource project utilities, all built on a custom Dependency Injection and Lifecycle management framework via source generators. Monorepo structure: PCL.Core.SourceGenerators/ contains compile-time code generators for DI container (LifecycleScopeGenerator), configuration (ConfigGenerator), and environment interop; PCL.Core.Test/ mirrors the main codebase with tests for IO/Storage (cache…

Start here

Open these first:

• PCL.Core/App/Configuration/ConfigService.cs — Central configuration management service that handles reading, writing, and observing config changes across the application.
• PCL.Core/App/Config.cs — Root configuration class defining the application's settings schema and default values.
• PCL.Core/App/Configuration/Storage/ConfigStorage.cs — Abstract base class orchestrating multiple storage providers (JSON, YAML, encrypted files, SQLite cache) for persistence.
• PCL.Core.SourceGenerators/PCL.Core.SourceGenerators.csproj — C# source generator project producing boilerplate code for configuration, dependency injection, and lifecycle management.
• PCL.Core/App/Database/DatabaseService.cs — Database abstraction layer providing CRUD operations and caching for application state.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Daily commands:

No direct dev-server startup visible in provided data. Based on .NET project structure: dotnet build compiles PCL.Core.SourceGenerators first (prerequisite), then main application; dotnet test runs PCL.Core.Test sui…

Key cautions & unknowns

• No tests detected in the complete Git tree
• Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
• 1. Source Generators are compile-time only — changes to LifecycleScopeGenerator.cs or ConfigGenerator.cs require a full rebuild to take effect; incremental builds may hide changes. 2. DI container generated by…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
