Multimyth Launcher

From: WilderForge/WildermythGameProvider#19

I still want end users to easily install coremods, but in a way where:

• They are clearly aware of what they're installing
• Updates are deliberate
• And the risks are known and accepted

The steam workshop offers none of those guarantees. I believe a custom launcher like MultiMC would make the most sense as a long term solution. Such a launcher should allow:

• * One click instance creation: so users can spin up isolated environments without worrying about cross contamination.
• * Game version selection: so users can choose a specific version of the game to obtain from steam (ex: for speedrunning or mods which no longer update to later versions of the game)
  • thrixlvault can be used for this. It's currently leveraged by wilderworkspace to create dev environments for specific game versions.
• * Java Version Selection
• * Per instance mod folders: so coremods won't bleed into other environments, or the vanilla game
• * Clear visibility of installed mods: so there are no hidden updates. What the user installed is what runs. Updates are deliberate by the end user.
• * Installation/save cloning: So users can test mod updates or game changes in an isolated environment before touching their main saves.
