A datapack bundling tool for combining multiple namespaces into a single datapack for easy distribution
Clone or download this repository and execute the script by running either ./dpbuild <args> or python dpbuild <args>. All datapacks must implement Lantern Load in order to bundle. See help text below for argument details.
usage: dpbuild [-h] [--zip] [--dest DEST] [--release] [--discover [DISCOVER ...]]
[--no-dep-tests]
datapack [dependencies ...]
A tool to bundle packs with different namespaces.
positional arguments:
datapack Datapack to bundle
dependencies Dependency datapacks or .zips to bundle into the main one
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--zip Compress the bundled datapack into a .zip file
--dest DEST Destination directory to copy bundled datapacks
--release Removes function/test paths and zips output
--discover [DISCOVER ...]
Directories to discover Lantern Load datapack dependencies
--no-dep-tests Only applicable when not in release mode. Removes test functions from
bundled dependency packs.
Suppose you have a datapacks directory containing your_dp which is a datapack that relies on dep1 and dep2.
datapacks
├── dep1
│ ├── data
│ │ └── dep1_ns
│ └── pack.mcmeta
├── dep2
│ ├── data
│ │ └── dep2_ns
│ └── pack.mcmeta
└── your_dp
├── data
│ └── your_dp_ns
│ └── functions
└── pack.mcmeta
With dpbuild you can create a single directory or zip file with everything your datapack needs. The following command will bundle everything together and output in the test world datapacks folder.
./dpbuild your_dp --dest ~/.minecraft/saves/test-world/datapacks
The resulting bundled datapack at ~/.minecraft/saves/test-world/datapacks will be structured as follows,
test-world/datapacks
└── your_dp
├── data
│ └── dep1_ns
│ └── dep2_ns
│ └── your_dp_ns
│ └── functions
└── pack.mcmeta
