Add-on Development Kit

This Add-on Development Kit(ADK) allows you to create add-ons without writing JSON! It is similar to Forge's MDK for Minecraft: Java Edition

Usage

ADK can be used in two ways, as a standalone or as a regolith filter. The difference between the two is the way you import ADK and how you export your add-on. As a standalone, you will need to manually copy the files to your com.mojang folder. As a regolith filter, you just need to set up your config.json and regolith will do the rest.

Installing ADK

Common Steps

• Install Visual Studio Build Tools
• Install CMake
• Install vcpkg and set up command line integration as described in the Vcpkg docs. Remember the location of vcpkg's CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE
• Run vcpkg install spdlog:x64-windows

Standalone

• Clone this repository
• Copy the contents of the adk/data folder to your project

Regolith Filter

• Install Regolith
• Run regolith init in your directory of choice
• Run regolith install adk

How to use

After you have installed ADK, you can start creating add-ons. Create a BP and RP folder in your project directory. Create your manifest.json like you would normally do for any add-on.

Getting Started

In the Main.cpp file, edit the custom_namespace to your liking. These will be used as your add-on's namespace. The main files which you will be using is the Data.cpp, Language.cpp, Object.cpp and Recipe.cpp files.

What are these files?

• Object.cpp is where you will be adding your blocks and items.
• Data.cpp is where you will be adding your textures to your blocks and items.
• Recipe.cpp is where you will be adding your recipes.
• Language.cpp is where you will be adding your translations.

See the files in the data folder for examples.

Building

Standalone

• Run compile-standalone.bat to build your add-on

Regolith Filter

• Run regolith run default(or whichever profile you're using) to build your add-on
