<h1>About MineTweaker 3</h1>

<h2>What is MineTweaker?</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>MineTweaker is a Minecraft Forge mod that allows you to add and remove crafting recipes, furnace recipes, mod recipes,
|
|
item names, ore dictionary contents and much more. Configurations are written as scripts, with MineTweaker offering a
|
|
simple custom scripting language specialized for this kind of customization.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>MineTweaker is always configured from the server that players connect to (in single-player instances, the server is your
|
|
own Minecraft instance). For server owners, this means that they do not have to distribute their minetweaker scripts: they
|
|
only need to be stored on the server and will be transferred to the client automatically upon connection. Servers can thus
|
|
change their configuration without having to distribute new files. In fact, even a server restart isn't needed - scripts
|
|
can be reloaded in-game and all connected players will automatically receive the new scripts and have their configuration
|
|
adjusted accordingly.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Scripts can even be stored in two places - there is a global scripting directory that's applied to every world hosted on
|
|
that server (mostly useful for defining default behavior in modpacks played in single-player) and a per-world scripting
|
|
directory. Scripts in the world directory can override global scripts. For map makers, this means they can distribute
|
|
their own scripts with their map.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For modpack builders, this functionality means that it is interesting to include MineTweaker in your modpack even if you
|
|
don't have an immediate need for it - server owners may wish to customize their own instance.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>History</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>MineTweaker development started about a year ago. We wanted to remove the jetpack from IC2 as well as the Quarry and other
|
|
automining methods, as we found them to impact gameplay significantly. It just didn't feel Minecraft anymore. On the other
|
|
hand, we wanted to at least make it possible to have a more advanced recipe for the jetpack, so if you really wanted to,
|
|
you could make one - but it would be a late-game item.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There existed mods that could remove item recipes, but there was lack of a mod that could also add new ones. For that reason,
|
|
I decided to try making a mod myself. The scripting language was very simple - a list of instructions. As we found that pretty
|
|
useful, I added a few more types of commands to modify the ore dictionary and set item names.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I soon felt the limitations of the scripting engine I had. For instance, if I wanted to make a recipe with enchantments on it,
|
|
I couldn't do that. Or if I wanted custom crafting logic, it wouldn't be possible. And support for mods machines would be
|
|
nice to have, too, so there I made the first-generation MineTweaker scripting engine.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>MineTweaker 2 proved successful and became integrated in quite a few modpacks. More mod support and new functions were added.
|
|
But the scripting engine wasn't really made to be very scalable in terms of functionality, and adding new functions and
|
|
new mods was a time-consuming task.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I came to realize that we could be doing much more with MineTweaker. In past, you'd have to write a custom mod to implement
|
|
these recipes. Not everyone is programmer, and learning to use Java and Forge takes a while and the size of Minecraft can
|
|
be overwhelming to newcomers. Having a scripting language makes it possible for less experienced users to still change the
|
|
game to their needs.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>With MineTweaker 3, a lot of things have changed internally. The scripts compile directly to Java bytecode, and now the only
|
|
overhead is the overhead caused by the internal API layer used to abstract away the minecraft internals and provide a set
|
|
of easy-to-use functions. For me and plugin developers, all I have to do is supply a set of annotated classes to the scripting
|
|
engine.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Future plans</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>MineTweaker is meant to be used by a wide variety of users. I am into providing more basic functionality and plan on adding
|
|
a graphical interface for basic functionality. On the other side, I am into providing more scripting functionality to
|
|
provide server owners with the ability to change the behavior of the server and making it possible to create bukkit-like
|
|
server mods with the scripting language. The forum post has a poll to determine priorities.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Have fun!</p>
