Update !jarfix #267

Closed TropheusJ closed 3 years ago

TropheusJ commented 3 years ago

I think !jarfix should be updated to make the process smoother for everyone involved. I made a quick mockup of how I think it should look. image This is just a mockup I made in 2 minutes I know it looks bad shut no i do not know why its so low res

The embed itself should have a short explanation of why they need jarfix. Currently it looks pretty suspicions due to the link without context and the look of jarfix's site only emphasizes that.

similar to how !java works currently, the "advanced" thing should go on the bottom. "quick download" is pretty self explanatory to me. it is a download. it is quick. it is what the average user wants. "additional info" is for anyone who actually cares about what exactly jarfix does.

This is bad practice, as it tells users "Hey trust this random file we're sending you!" rather than presenting the website it's hosted on first in order to say "This is the website it is hosted on, providing an explanation of what it does" and allows the user to judge for themselves whether or not they are willing to trust the tool. This is also just not a large scale issue, and is unnecessary in general.

This is the same reason we don't have .bat files that we hand out to users to just perform the solutions we want them to do, because it's bad practice to make users think to trust random files, especially those with administrator rights.

for future reference this is what !jarfix looks like as of writing: image

i kinda have to agree with zen, linking the main website first would be better. the direct download link is listed clearly for those who want/need it,

that said, i do like the idea of adding an actual description to the embed explaining how this relates to optifine.

Zen made a good point, I agree too. A simple description would be very useful, !jarfix is often used without context and has confused users in the past.
