A simple tool for picking out information from the minecraft JARs, primarily useful for developers.

Burger is a tiny "framework" for automatically extracting data from the minecraft game for the purpose of writing the protocol specification, interoperability, and other neat uses.
Burger is made up of toppings, which can provide and satisfy
simple dependencies, and which can be run all-together or just
a few specifically. Each topping is then aggregated by
munch.py into the whole and output as a JSON dictionary.
The simplest way to use Burger is to pass the -d or --download
flag, which will download the minecraft client for you.
$ python munch.py --download
Alternatively, you can specify either the client or the server JAR by passing it as an argument.
$ python munch.py minecraft_server.jar
We can redirect the output from the default stdout by passing
-o <path> or --output <path>.
$ python munch.py -d --output output.json
We can see what toppings are available by passing -l or --list.
$ python munch.py --list
We can also run specific toppings by passing a comma-delimited list
to -t or --toppings. If a topping cannot be used because it's
missing a dependency, it will output an error telling you what
also needs to be included.
$ python munch.py -d --toppings language,stats
The above example would only extract the language information, as
well as the stats and achievements (both part of stats).
