Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

GDK Version Archiver

NOTICE: THIS TOOL DOES NOT HELP YOU TO PIRATE THE GAME. YOU MUST OWN A LEGITIMATE COPY OF MINECRAFT TO USE THIS TOOL.

A CLI tool for archiving and managing Minecraft GDK installations on Windows. It captures current installations as mirrors and manages them using tags for easy version switching.

  • Archive Versions: Capture installed Appx packages to local mirrors.
  • Tagging: Use tags like current or beta to manage different versions. Default is current tag and is also hardcoded to always be used.
  • Protected File Handling: Automatically copies encrypted files via internal instructions.
  • Concurrent Copying: Fast archiving using a task concurrency channel.

Setup and Usage

Prerequisites: Windows OS, Bun runtime, and Powershell.

pnpm add gdk-version-archiver
npm run build

CLI name: gdkva

  • Archive: gdkva archive [package-pattern]
    • --tag <name>: Target tag (default: current).
    • --force: Overwrite existing mirrors.
    • --concurrency <n>: Parallel file copy limit. Default is 10, recommended is to follow default value.
  • List: gdkva list - Show stored mirrors and tags.
  • Run: gdkva run --tag <name> - Launch a tagged version. Default is current tag.

Global flags: --verbose, --tag <name>.

Storage and Mechanics

Data is stored in %APPDATA%\ConMaster.BedrockArchiver\clients\.

  • mirrors/: Full version file structures.
  • tags/: Junctions pointing to specific mirrors.

The tool bypasses GDK file protections by invoking a copy instruction within the package context. It then uses symlink junctions to allow external tools to reference a static path while the underlying version is updated.

Is it slow?

This tool performs have to call powershell.exe under the hood to get access to the windows package manager to obtain package information, after wards its only matter of your hard-drive write throughput, by default this tool performs 10 copy operations concurrently.

Why it feels slow?

We only logging directories thats are currently being traversed, not all files, so if you think its being stuck its probably coping hundreds of files.
