This sample demonstrates a set of different custom items with different capabilities.
Install Node.js tools, if you haven't already
We're going to use the package manager npm to get more tools to make the process of building our project easier.
Visit https://nodejs.org/.
Download the version with "LTS" next to the number and install it. (LTS stands for Long Term Support, if you're curious.) In the Node.js Windows installer, accept the installation defaults. You do not need to install any additional tools for Native compilation.
Install Visual Studio Code, if you haven't already
Visit the Visual Studio Code website and install Visual Studio Code.
This a complete example of building multiple different types of items with various different visual representations, in Minecraft.
You can get started with this sample on MCTools! Visit mctools.dev to create a new project based on this sample.
-
To make your own environment look like the example, create a folder on your
C:\drive and call it projects. Create a subfolder called custom_items. -
Put the extracted contents of the custom_blocks folder into custom_items.
-
Open a Windows Terminal or PowerShell window and change the working directory to your custom_items folder:
cd c:\projects\custom_items\
-
Use npm to install our tools:
npm i
-
When that's done, enter:
npm run local-deploy -
Use this shortcut command to open the project in Visual Studio Code:
code .
It might also ask you to install the Minecraft Debugger and Blockception's Visual Studio Code plugin, which are plugins to Visual Studio Code that can help with Minecraft development. Go ahead and do that, if you haven't already.
