## Why?

I thought it would be fun to write in Rust. If you wanted a single line of bash to do it, use one of these (requires `jq`, `curl`, and `wget`):

- Download latest available (snapshot or release) minecraft server.jar

  ```sh
  curl -s $(curl -s "https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/game/version_manifest.json" | jq -r ".versions[0].url") | jq -r ".downloads.server.url" | xargs wget
  ```

- Download latest release minecraft server.jar

  ```sh
  curl -s $(curl -s "https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/game/version_manifest.json" | jq -r ".latest.release as \$v | .versions[] | select(.id == \$v) | .url") | jq -r ".downloads.server.url" | xargs wget
  ```

- Download latest snapshot minecraft server.jar

  ```sh
  curl -s $(curl -s "https://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/game/version_manifest.json" | jq -r ".latest.snapshot as \$v | .versions[] | select(.id == \$v) | .url") | jq -r ".downloads.server.url" | xargs wget
  ```
