Easy Data Fix

A library that enables modders to register custom data fixers.

About The Project

Easy Data Fix is a small library mod that aids in creation of data fixers for mods, allowing custom mod game data to be converted between different versions of the game safly. The mod wraps the builtin DataFixerUpper classes which are as Mojang says "a set of utilities designed for incremental building, merging, and optimization of data transformations"

Use

1. Download easy_data_fix-<loader>-x.x.x+mc26.1 from on of the places at the top of this README.
2. Copy the downloaded jar file to your mods folder.

Using The Library In Development

To setup data fixers for your mod you first need to add the library as a dependency in your build.gradle file, then you just need to register them on pre-launch using Easy Data Fix's API. See example below.

build.gradle

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}

dependencies {
    ...

    // Replace <Tag> with the release tag string from the Releases page
    implementation "com.github.BJTMastermind:easy-data-fix:<Tag>"
}

ExampleFix.java

public class ExampleFix implements PreLaunchEntrypoint {
    @Override
    public void onPreLaunch() {
        DataFixerRegistry.addDataFix("Description of data fixer", builder -> {
            // dataVersion = The Minecraft data version used in the version your upgrading to.
            // SchemaVersion = The builtin schema class that goes with the data version.
            // Example: (4773, V4771::new) = 26.1 full release
            Schema schema = builder.addSchema(dataVersion, V[SchemaVersion]::new);
            builder.addFixer(BlockRenameFix.create(schema, "Fixer Name", DataFixerAPI.createRenamer("example_mod:mod_block", "example_mod:new_mod_block")));
            builder.addFixer(ItemRenameFix.create(schema, "Fixer Name", DataFixerAPI.createRenamer("example_mod:mod_item", "example_mod:new_mod_item")));
        });
        // You may also have multiple DataFixerRegistry here to better organize your data fixes or to support other versions.
    }
}
