SpoornPacks
API Library for automagically generating Resource files and injecting them as a Resource Pack
About this Mod
Description
SpoornPacks is an API Library mod for the Minecraft Fabric mod loader that adds simple-to-use APIs for automagically generating resource asset and data files, and injects them into the game as a mock Resource Pack. This allows mod creators to create their resources entirely in code with very succinct APIs, while still allowing overriding via your own Resource files.
The goal of this mod is to simplify resource creation (i.e. blocks, items, structures, features, etc.) as much as possible for the majority of use cases, while being extensible to more complex ones. The typical process for adding a block or item involves several Json files with oftentimes rather cryptic contents, and injecting into various Minecraft registries, methods, classes, etc. This API Library removes all that overhead for the mod creator and turns it into a single one-line Java call, simple datagen
I'm using this library myself for my own mod! https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/pink
