This makes launching a fabric server just a matter of downloading a jar from the website or via a URl and launching it just like a normal minecraft server, without the need for an installer. This has a number of benfits:
Meta will provide an API to download a jar that has been marked with the minecraft server url/hash/name and the correct intermediary mappings. The website will present this in a user frieldly manner.
The old server installation method will still be supported for the time begin. Possibly start phasing it out by removing the option from the installer GUI but keep the CLI?
