Py-Packer

A work in progress CUI (Console User Interface) based creation tool for 1.13.0 through 1.19.2 Java Minecraft.

This project is being completely rewritten and is very unstable, it is recommended to not use it currently. PyPacker Legacy is still here in its uncompleted state and still works fine, but is incompatible with PyPackerRewrite and may break a majoity of future releases.

This Projects Plans in order of Development

• Make a functional settings page (Status: In Progress)
• PojavLaucher Custom Controls creator (Status: Planning)
• Update to 1.19.3/1.20 ASAP
• Localization to French, Spanish, and German, most likely in that order
• Resource and Behavior/Datapack Creation simplification
• Scarpet code generator
• Linux/OSX Support

Beyond this point is stuff I'll add if i have the time or if gets requested a lot:

• Add a Mindustry Logic (those are two different links) code generator using the codebase of the Scarpet generator as they have some similarities
• BDFD.go to NextCord.py Translator

Known Issues

• Due to OS limitations, you cant have 2 of the same "data" folder without manually creating it. The current fix is adding "_0" to the file name, but it requires you to go into the files and edit the folder names manually.
• This project will not work on most - if not all - Linux distros. Porting it over to Linux/OSX is in the plans, but quite far off due to the console based nature of this program.

First Startup

Do not run PyPacker.py, as it is deprecated and may break the new version, PyPackerRewrite.py

When you first launch PyPacker, you can review the settings or just skip past it immediately, no matter what it will have to restart to put you on the main menu.

While launching PyPacker, 5 files will be created:

• Two folder will be created, "output" and "assets"
• A "settings.json" file will be created then written in immediately, the settings are mostly self explanatory, feel free to mess around with it
• A random photo grabbed off Wikipedia as a test image later
• "God Save The King", the United Kingdom's nation anthem

The 2 example files will be saved to the "assets" folder and are used to test your chosen editors for files the 3 kinds of files this program can handle; text/json, image, and audio. The settings.json is not saved to the assets folder as to save on having to move it around later for Python to access it.

PyPacker has been tested on Python versions 3.10.8, 3.10.9, and 3.11.1. It may work on other versions up to 3.0, but no guarantees.

Contributing

Anyone is free to modify, contribute, or change this program in any way you see fit, it's MIT license for a reason. But if you do contribute, please try to keep the code in this format so we can all understand it and edit it cleanly. If you happen to make any of these examples faster, feel free to paste them here so everything can be changed over.

• Menus (Large input()/print() statements):

• Filepaths (utils.LocalFiles("") is just shorthand for the filepath from system root to the programs location.)

#Path to Program Folder:

fr'{utils.LocalFiles("")}\file_name.extention'
#or,
utils.LocalFiles("") + r'\file_name.extention'
#or,
os.path.join(utils.LocalFiles(""), "file_name.extention")

#Path to %APPDATA%
