@blockmatic/generator

Collection of Node.JS scripts to generate data for blockmatic. See below to see how to use these scripts (they are also in order of use). A bit of knowledge of blockmatic is needed to put the files into the correct locations.

Before running any of these scripts you need to have a blocks directory with Minecraft textures in them. See below on how to do that.

Create a blocks directory in the same folder where this README file is
Open a Minecraft client jar in a zip extraction program (such as 7zip, WinRAR, Xarchiver, etc.)
Go to assets/minecraft/textures/blocks
Copy all textures into the blocks directory

filter.js

Deletes every unneeded texture in the blocks directory

Run node scripts/filter.js
Every unneeded texture has been deleted

fix.js

Rotates glazed_terracotta textures and resizes image files bigger than 16x16 (these files are usually for animations such as fire)

Run node scripts/fix.js
Every file has been fixed accordingly

data.js

Important

Outdated

Generates average colors, versions, names, ids, properties for blocks (NEEDS MANUAL EDITING AFTER!)

Change the version in scripts/data.js
Run node scripts/data.js
In the data directory there should be a JSON file generated
Put that JSON file into src/data

spritesheet.js

Generates a spritesheet for Pixi.JS to use

Run node scripts/spritesheet.js
In the data directory there should be two files generated - spritesheet.json and spritesheet.png
Put spritesheet.png into the public folder
Put spritesheet.json into src/data

deleteBlocks.sh

(MacOS and Linux only) Deletes every file in the blocks folder

You probably don't need to run this script.

$ chmod +x ./scripts/deleteBlocks.sh
$ ./scripts/deleteBlocks.sh
