ScriptCraft
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
A Minecraft mod that lets you build using Javascript
|
|
|
|
Description
|
|
===========
|
|
The ScriptCraft mod lets you enter javascript commands at the in-game prompt.
|
|
To bring up the in-game prompt press the `/` key then type `js ` followed by any javascript statement.
|
|
E.g. `/js 1+1` will print 2.
|
|
ScriptCraft uses Rhino (The built-in javascript interpreter that comes with current versions of Java).
|
|
Unfortunately, due to the need to reobfuscate the Minecraft codebase , it is not possible to expose the entire
|
|
Minecraft Java API via Javascript as this goes against the current terms of use for MCP (Minecraft is not open source).
|
|
|
|
As of Dec 27 2012, the ScriptCraft mod includes just a few built-in objects and functions to make building easier.
|
|
|
|
* help() - Brings up a short help message.
|
|
* load('path-to-script.js') - lets you load and execute any javascript source file. Calling load() with no parameters will bring up a File Chooser dialog. (In the context of script files, the $SCRIPT js variable will refer to the current script filename and $SCRIPTPATH refers to the directory in which the current script resides.)
|
|
* player - the Player object - unfortunately this isn't currently useful as its properties are obfuscated.
|
|
* world - The minecraft world object - again - all properties are currently obfuscated.
|
|
* getMousePos() - A function which returns the current position of the cross-hairs (if a block is selected)
|
|
* getPlayerPos() - A function which returns the current position of the player.
|
|
* putBlock(x,y,z,blockId,metaData) - A function which lets you place a block anywhere
|
|
* putSign(String[] texts, x,y,z,blockId, metaData) - A function which lets you place a sign.
|
|
|
|
The above primitives can be used to create buildings which would otherwise be time-consuming to create manually.
|
|
It is highly recommended using the attached drone.js javascript module which provides a fluent API for building.
|
|
The Javascript `Drone` class provides a much richer API which can be used to construct buildings. See the attached
|
|
`cottage.js` file for an example of how to load and use the `drone.js` module.
