stewbeet 2.2.13

Beet Framework made to help generating advanced Minecraft datapack contents

❓ What is StewBeet

StewBeet is a Beet framework and library 📦 aiming to provide huge automation for creating Minecraft datapacks.
It is designed to be very simple to use and very convenient for developers.

Example of the in-game manual generated by StewBeet:

Here is a list of features that the package provides (the template is using all of them with clear comments):

• 🔄 Automatic resource pack files generation (models, textures, sounds, music discs) with the ability to override them with help of the assets folder.
• ⏳ Versioned load, and clock functions such as tick, second, minute.
• 🗃️ Loot tables for every item in the definitions along with a proper _give_all function that gives named chests.
• 📖 Automatic generation of a really advanced and interactive items manual.
• 📝 Automatic generation of a en-us.json lang file in the resource pack if configuration is set.
• 🖼️ Automatic headers for every function in function folders.
• 📦 Minecraft like vanilla recipes unlocking.
• 📚 Official libraries integrations:
  • 🧪 Automatic support for NBT Recipes with Smithed Crafter and Furnace NBT Recipes
  • 🛠️ Placement and destruction for every custom block in the definitions with support for blockstates, ore drops (fortune, silk touch), with Smithed Custom Blocks.
  • 📚 Each module from Bookshelf is automatically added if you are using it, ex: function #bs.math:... will add the bs.math module to the datapack.
  • ⛏️ Custom ore generation with Smart Ore Generation.
  • 📦 Item transportation / container declaration with ItemIO when making custom containers.
  • 🔔 Events such as new items detection with Common Signals.
• 🌐 External datapack libraries support, see configuration for more information.
• 🔗 Merging datapacks and resource packs with libraries using Smithed Weld.
• 🧩 Automatic recognition of custom blocks patterns depending on the texture names in the assets/textures folder. For instance, if you have a top, side, and bottom texture, the block will be automatically recognized as a cube with the top, side, and bottom textures.
• 📏 Follow the datapack conventions such as LanternLoad, CustomModelData prefix, tag specification, and namespacing.
• 🧰 Ability to merge a model with the autogenerated one or override it.
• 🔀 merge folder providing a way to merge custom files with the autogenerated ones or add custom files to the datapack.
• ⚙️ Automatic special compatibilities with datapacks such as SimpleDrawer's compacted drawer, SimplEnergy's pulverizer.
• 📂 Automatic copy of generated zip files to configured folders.

📦 How to use (beginner friendly)

In order to use StewBeet, you need to have at least Python 3.12 🐍 or higher installed on your computer with pip!
Then, you can open a terminal 💻 and run the following command to install the python package:

# This will install the latest version of the framework
# (including beet, bolt, mecha, and other dependencies)
pip install stewbeet

Next, there are a few templates available in the ./templates folder 📁,
There are 3 templates available, feel free to choose the one you prefer (but I highly recommend the basic template):

• 🔹 minimal template: A very minimal template using only one stewbeet plugin.
• ⭐ basic template: A template with complete configuration but no coded features.
• 🌟 extensive template: A template with all the features of the framework, including all the plugins.

The clickable links are zip files 📦, but you can check the content of the templates in the ./templates folder.

Once you have a template, you can modify the beet.yml configuration file ⚙️ to suit your needs.
Finally, you can run the following command to build the project 🔨:

# You can also run 'beet' instead of 'stewbeet' but with less functionality
# (Make sure you are in the project folder)
stewbeet

The command will generate a datapack and a resource pack in your build folder 🏗️.
And that's it! 🎉 That is this easy use the package.
Since this template is using all the features of the package, you can remove the parts you don't need! 🧹
