OpenZenLoader.exe now ships with a requireAdministrator manifest
instead of asInvoker. The Windows loader prompts for UAC consent
once at launch, which:
- guarantees OpenProcess / VirtualAllocEx / CreateRemoteThread
succeed against javaw.exe when the Minecraft launcher (HMCL,
MultiMC) was itself started elevated,
- avoids the silent injection failure observed on locked-down
standard user accounts.
The EXE also picks up the UAC shield overlay on its file icon.

Ship a self-contained OpenZenLoader.exe (OpenZen.dll embedded as
RCDATA) that injects into a running Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge
javaw.exe and brings up the Zen client without -javaagent or a
mods/ entry. The existing Forge mod path stays intact.
Native (native/):
- DLL: JNI_GetCreatedJavaVMs + JVMTI late-attach via the JDK's
instrument.dll Agent_OnAttach to obtain a real Instrumentation;
URLClassLoader on the game loader loads a single bridge class.
- Loader EXE: Win32 listview of javaw.exe/java.exe processes
with window titles, CreateRemoteThread+LoadLibraryW injection,
embedded DLL extracted to %TEMP%\OpenZenLoader at runtime.
Java:
- shit.zen.dll.GameLoaderBridge re-defines every jar class onto
the Forge GameClassLoader (fixed-point retry for super-class
deps) and extracts non-class resources to
%TEMP%\openzen-resources-<pid>, exposed via the
openzen.resources system property.
- shit.zen.dll.DllBootstrap only runs Bootstrap.init +
registerPatches + installPatchesAndRetransform; ZenClient
construction stays on MinecraftPatch.onTick lazy-init.
- shit.zen.asm.Bootstrap parses mapping.srg, detects SRG vs
mojmap runtime via Minecraft.tick reflection, exposes
remapMethod/remapField used at 5 PatchTransformer match
points and from ReflectionUtil.
- ReflectionUtil.resolveField walks the superclass chain trying
SRG then mojmap on each level so e.g. activeEffects on
LocalPlayer resolves on LivingEntity.
- shit.zen.utils.misc.Assets unifies resource lookup with a
fallback to openzen.resources; fonts, cloud assets and WebUI
static files route through it.
- PatchAgent.installPatchesAndRetransform is now idempotent so
DllBootstrap and ZenClient.init can both call it safely.
Build:
- ./gradlew jar forge mod jar (unchanged)
- ./gradlew dll single-file Loader EXE in build/dist
- CMake auto-located via vswhere when VS 2022 ships it.
- README documents both paths and required toolchain.
