Easy Multi

Extremely easy multi/single instancing software for minecraft speedrunning.

A couple of goals of this project:

• Setup multi in minutes
• No file editing to adjust settings
• Easy

I believe I have met all of these goals.

Usage

Hotkeys

• Pressing the "Reset" hotkey will do various things:
  • Reset the instance you currently have open and move to the next instance.
    • Manually changing the opened window will not have an effect on this.
  • If automatic world clearing is enabled, all speedrun worlds except for the latest 5 in each instance will be cleared upon resetting.
  • All borderless windows will have their position and size reset, essentially unhiding them (see hiding below).
  • When moving to the next instance, Easy Multi will press alt + the number corresponding to the next instance (eg. alt+1, alt+2, etc...). This is to help obs know which instance you are on.
• Pressing the "Hide" hotkey will set all borderless instances to 1x1 pixels to hide them, other than the one currently opened.

Control Panel

• "Setup Instances" will find all open Minecraft instances. It will also rename them to their instance number (eg. "1", "2", "3"...).
• "Go Borderless" will set all current instances to a borderless window with the set window size in reset options.
• "Restore Windows" will set all current instances to the default Minecraft size and stack them in a row.

Reset Options Panel

• Pressing either "Reset: ___" and "Hide: ___" will let you set the hotkeys for the respective action.
• Pressing "Window Size: x" will pop up a window which lets you select the size of a borderless window when it is not in a hidden state.
• The checkboxes in "Scene Switching" determine what key will be pressed when switching to an instance. For example, with both "Use Alt" and "Use Numpad" selected, Alt + Numpad 2 will be pressed when switching to instance 2. This option is to help obs know which instance Easy Multi switched to.

Log Panel

• The large box taking the majority of the panel shows the output of the app, including resets, world clearings, etc...
• "Current Instances: x" shows the amount of instances the app currently controls.
• Pressing "Copy Log" will copy the currently visible lines from the log.

MultiMC Clearing Panel

• Pressing "Clear Speedrun Worlds" will clear out all select types of speedrun worlds from the selected MultiMC instances folder except for the latest 5 speedrun worlds in each instance.
• Enabling "Automatically Clear" will do the above action on every single reset.
• You can set the MultiMC Instances Folder by pressing the small folder icon.
  • Easy Multi will do its best to locate the instances folder if you do not select the correct folder. For example selecting a ".minecraft" will probably lead Easy Multi to find the instances folder.
• In the "World Typeps to Clear" section, you can enable various types of speedrun world names which will get detected by the world clearing.

Notes

• Wall is not supported, and probably never will be.
• F3+ESC will never be supported, nor will background resetting.
