[Feature Request] Prompt users whether to install optional dependencies

Open mooziii opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

title says it Example:

Do you want to install any optional dependencies?
1) modrinth/modmenu
2) modrinth/clothconfig
3) modrinth/fabric-api

List the dependencies that you want to install (provide the numbers): 2,3

^^^ this would install clothconfig and fabric api but not modmenu

Do you think this prompt should be default behaviour or only appear with a special flag?

Should be default

I agree; I'm using quilt, which replaces fabric api with qsl if I'm not mistaken, so automatically installing fabric api (and not allowing the user to remove it) doesn't work well in that case

@sparrowofsong that's another issue, fabric-api is not an optional dependency in that case, but a required one - this issue is about optional dependencies not being installed at all at the moment
