Be Proud API
Wrapper for the "be proud" Minecraft mod to add custom flags
About this Mod
Be Proud API
This is a relatively simple API wrapper for the be proud mod. You can install this alongside be proud, and use it to add your own custom flags using the foundations they put in place!
Please do not put issues relating to the original mod on this github page - I am not the original author of be proud.
This mod requires be proud installed to work.
Developer Documentation
Add the mod to build.gradle:
repositories { // Add modrinth's maven
exclusiveContent {
forRepository {
maven {
name = "Modrinth"
url = "https://api.modrinth.com/maven"
}
}
filter {
includeGroup "maven.modrinth"
}
}
}
dependencies { // Add the mod as a dependency
modImplementation "maven.modrinth:be-proud-api:DYeuzHlr" // Make sure to change the version to the one you want!
modImplementation "maven.modrinth:be-proud:xOU4yztG" // Add be proud too
}
Now to add your custom flags, simply add this line of code
public static final Flag TEST_FLAG = createFlag("test", false);
This will create a new flag, with the id "test" - The flag is not an LGBT flag so it is not added to the book (the bool value)
To finish off - you need some json files.
resources/data/beproud/recipes/printer/test/large.json // Recipes, example from the mod author - https://github.com/Duqueeee/be-proud/tree/1.20.1/src/main/resources/data/beproud/recipes/printer/lesbian
resources/data/beproud/recipes/printer/test/standard.json
resources/data/beproud/recipes/printer/test/small.json
Now you have your flag! To add textures, they should go in:
resources/assets/beproud/textures/block/flag/test/large.json // Textures, example from the mod author - https://github.com/Duqueeee/be-proud/tree/1.20.1/src/main/resources/assets/beproud/textures/block/flag/trans
resources/assets/beproud/textures/block/flag/test/standard.json
resources/assets/beproud/textures/block/flag/test/small.json
