MCT Data Pack Template

This template is designed to be used for new MCT Data Packs. Data Packs for MCT have to be able to communicate to each other, so there are a few rules to follow, outlined below.

Using this Template

To use this template, follow GitHub's own instructions on creating a repository from a template.

• Go to the homepage of this repository
• Select Use this template
• Choose Create a new repository
• Configure the repository as normal
• Click Create repository from template
• Follow the instructions in the template repository's Getting Started section to fill out the boiler plate items, rename folders, and initialize the repository.

Getting Started

• Rename the data/mct-template/ directory to mct-<THE NAME OF THIS REPOSITORY>
  • e.g. mct-hub or mct-score-manager

  • Important: this folder must be lowercase

• Change mct-template to match the name of the folder you just renamed above in both data/minecraft/tags/functions/load.json and data/minecraft/tags/functions/tick.json
• Fill in the description of pack.mcmeta
• Go to the Projects tab of your new repository and link the project to the MCT Project
• Add a link to the new Data Pack repository to the MCT Project README.md
• Replace the contents of this README.md file with README-TEMPLATE.md, and fill in the italicized parts with information about the Data Pack and how to use it
• Delete README-TEMPLATE.md

Requirements

You must follow these rules to maintain compatibility across MCT data packs:

• The folder with the function/ directory must start with mct-, match the name of your repository, and be all lowercase.
  • That way it's easy to keep track of when /function commands are trying to use other Data Pack's .mcfunctions.
• Ensure your scoreboard names are unique across MCT Data Packs. Otherwise there will be conflicts.
• Describe the purpose of every .mcfunction file in a comment at the top
  • use the # character at the start of a line to make it a comment
