Don't download metadata every run #18

Closed zml2008 closed 3 years ago

zml2008 commented 3 years ago

Version manifests are re-downloaded every run currently, which means internet connections are needed to build, and any issue with Mojang servers would cause builds to fail right away.

We should be able to download these to some sort of local cache instead.

Can cache the json blob as a file locally. We could re-download it every 30 mins?

zml2008 commented 3 years ago

That sounds reasonable? Or maybe set it to something longer (6 hours)? with a gradle (or system) property to force redownloads (for those speedy updates)

Zidane commented 3 years ago

Sounds good to me.
