• Added simple UI visible when running the jar directly on systems with graphics.
  • Pretty much just a console window, with input still being text based.
  • It will close once Minecraft opens it's own server window.
  • Can be disabled by providing --noGui or noGui option, just like vanilla server.
• Modpack info files can now define non-overwritable files (prevents modification if they already exist).
• You can now add custom non-overridable files/folders as a new-line separated list in lockedpaths.txt file in main server directory.
• When running standalone, selecting a project will now validate if it's actually a modpack.
• When providing modpack slug/link, you can now force it to always search by prefixing the input with question mark (for example providing polymania will auto-select the Polymania modpack, while ?polymania will search for the modpacks).
• Removed mrpack4server text from log prefix, as it was redundant.

• Added support for first-run setup when no configuration is present.
  • If modpack is not defined, it will ask you to provide url, id or name.
  • If url is provided, it will automatically extract modpack id and optionally the version (if not set, it will ask for it).
  • If id is provided, it will use it to lookup the pack, then require selecting version.
  • Otherwise it will search for the modpack by name, allowing you to select it. After that you need to select the version.
• Improved file downloading. It now uses temporary files before moving them to correct location.
• Improved handling of hashes and old file cleaning. It should now do better job and preserve modified, but not updated files.
• Added support for non SHA-512 hashes. SHA-512 is still used for modpack file validation.
• You can now change version list source by defining version_list_url in modpack-info.json.
• Java version is now checked, preventing usage of versions older than one supported by Minecraft.
• Downgraded GSON to old release to make the jar file smaller (as many new features weren't used anyway).
• Removed some useless / duplicate logs.
• Added support for reading modpack info from bytes prepended to the jar (for example via cat modpack-info.json mrpack4server-X.Y.Z.jar > server.jar) [@vgskye]
