packages

TShock supports downloading and installing plugins from NuGet repositories. This allows it to automatically download the plugin as well as all of the extra things that the plugin needs. For developers, this makes distributing plugins easier.

This functionality is accessible via the TShock.Server executable used to run the server normally.

Under Linux:

./TShock.Server plugins

Under Windows (cmd.exe):

TShock.Server plugins

The documentation for the commands is included in the help functionality. A copy of the help output in English can be found in packages-help.txt. This file primarily exists to document the packages.json.

The file format is currently simple, including only a single object, containing a key packages that has a map of package IDs to their versions.

An example packages.json is shown below:

{
    "packages": {
        "Commandy.20.10.22.Test": "0.0.1"
    }
}

The name of the plugin is specified as the key, with the version as the value.
