SpoornPacks API Mod is an API Library mod for the Minecraft mod loader that adds simple-to-use APIs for automagically generating resource asset and data files, and injects them into the game as a mock Resource Pack. This allows mod creators to create their resources entirely in code with very succinct APIs, while still allowing overriding via your own Resource files.
The goal of this mod is to simplify resource creation (i.e. blocks, items, structures, features, etc.) as much as possible for the majority of use cases, while being extensible to more complex ones. The typical process for adding a block or item involves several Json files with oftentimes rather cryptic contents, and injecting into various Minecraft registries, methods, classes, etc. This API Library removes all that overhead for the mod creator and turns it into a single one-line Java call, simple datagen.

Features:
The library handles some of the annoyance and difficult tinkering with resource packs and files for you.
- Auto generates all the resource files (i.e.
.jsonfiles) for you under thespoornpacks/directory – though you don’t need to deal with these resource files as the library will automatically inject them into the game - If you include .json files in your mod’s
assets/folder, it will take priority over spoornpacks - Automatically registers blocks and items in the Minecraft registries
- Handles dependencies between blocks – such as Potted flower blocks depending on the sapling block, so when you register a sapling, it auto creates the flower pot for you without any work from your end
- Some blocks such as Crafting Table or Boat have complex intricacies on how the block entities are created, rendered, and interacted with. SpoornPacks will handle all that for you such that you can make a single method call and be done
