Minecraft-Datapacks-Generator

How to use?

• First of all make sure you have Python 3.9.0 or above installed on your computer.
• Download this repository in the folder where the datapack should be generated.
• Create a new empty Python file.
• Import the library in your new Python file like this :

from minecraft_datapacks_generator import *

• Create and compile your own datapack.
• Once the datapack is generated, paste it in the datapacks folder of your Minecraft world.
• Type /reload to load the datapack.
• Have fun playing with your brand new handmade datapack!

Example:

from minecraft_datapacks_generator import *

my_datapack_title = 'My_Datapack'
subfolder_title = Datapack(my_datapack_title).subfolder_title

myDatapack = Datapack(
    title = my_datapack_title,

]

myDatapack.compile()

• In this example, I start by importing the wmcpy "library", this line is required for the datapack to be generated!!
• I also create a variable containing the name of my datapack because I want to be able to change it in every file I mention it.
• Then I create another variable containing an instance of the class "Datapack" to start the creation of my datapack.
• The title is the name of the datapack I'll paste in the datapacks folder of my Minecraft world.
• The author is me, Vianpyro.
• The pack_meta is the informations I'll set in the pack.mcmeta file, this file is very important; it allows Minecraft to read your datapack.
• As you can see I use 2 reserved names: main - containing the functions I want to repeat every Minecraft tick - and load - once when the datapack is reloaded.
• Then I write whatever I want to be in my datapack ; one advancement, 4 functions and a predicate.
• I know that the new version of my datapack is better than the older so I want to replace it without being asked when I run the program.
• I also add another function - main - after the initialisation of my datapack because I want to be able to change it whenever I want without having to search for it in the big block of code above.
• Once I'm sure I don't have anything to add to my datapack I compile it.
• At last, when the datapack is successfuly generated I just paste it into my Minecraft world to enjoy the features I added.
