Setting Up Step 2 - Fexcraft/FVTM GitHub Wiki

Once you have successfully setup/built the project, as expected from Setting Up - Step 1,
you can start making this "PDK" project into YOUR pack project.

---

One Important thing: you need an unique id for your pack.
All your resources will be expected to be under this "domain".

---

Here a list of files you have to edit - and how to.

• src/main/java/net/fexcraft/mod/addon/yourpack/YourPackMainClass
  You can rename this file as you want, but make sure the to change the name inside the file too!
  You can also change the path/package of the file as well - or rather you should.
  You may want to take a look into Naming a Package.
  If you do not want to use your e-mail adress, do not have an internet domain, or etc, you can use the fexcraft domain in this pattern:
  net.fexcraft.mod.addon.<your-pack-id>.<your-classes-here>
  ===
  Now let's take a look into the Main class (note, right now it's a .java file, since uncompiled)
  That's some fields you HAVE TO change:
  • package net.fexcraft.mod.addon.yourpack;
    update the package to the one you choose to have
  • @AddonClass(registryname = "fvtm:yourpack")
    replace yourpack with your unique id.
  • String MODID = "yourpack"
    replace yourpack with your unique id.
  • String NAME = "Your Pack Name Here"
    insert inside the "" (quotes) a name for your pack
  • String VERSION = "1.0"
    you can update this one later
    ===
    This class will make sure your pack is registered into both Forge and FVTM!
• src/main/resources/pack.mcmeta
  Updating this file is relatively optional, but you can take a look inside none the less.
• src/main/resources/mcmod.info
  Update the values here similarly to how you did in the main class, you may want to read Forge - Scructuring
• src/main/resources/assets/yourpack/addonpack.fvtm
  Here are a couple of values to update (this is a JSON file):
  • "RegistryName": "fvtm:yourpack"
    Update it to the same value you entered in the main class at @AddonClass
  • "Name": "Your Pack Name Here"
    Insert your pack name.
  • "URL": "http://fexcraft.net/download?modid=addon-yourpack"
    You can add inside here an OFFICIAL download source for your pack!
  • "UpdateID": "addon-yourpack"
    This is the FCL update checker id, you can skip that for now.
  • "License": "http://fexcraft.net/license?id=mods"
    You can add a License link here for your pack.
  • "Dependencies": ["fvtm:gep"]
    This is a JSON array, you can list here other packs as dependency, you can skip that or clear and leave as []
  • "Authors": [ ... ]
    This is a JSON array, you can insert here the pack's authors UUIDs (can be multiple)
  • "Version": "1.0"
    You can skip this one for now.
• src/main/resources/assets/yourpack This is a Folder, rename it from yourpack to the unique id of your pack.

and... that's all. You have a pack now. Your pack.

Step "3" can be added upon request. Take a look at the other guides now!
