A mod without Rust

A data pack changes the game with TOML files in a folder, without code. Here you make one that lets four times as many wood logs fit in one inventory slot.

Create the pack

1. Run cargo enshwick new --data you.material-stacks. It makes the folder you.material-stacks/ with pack.toml, one file per kind of data and a README.

   Without the tool, make the folder by hand with a pack.toml of two lines:

   id = "you.material-stacks"
   version = "0.1.0"

2. Open items.toml and write the change:

   [[change]]
   items = ["Material_T1_Wood_Logs"]
   max_stack = { times = 4 }

   Items go by the game’s own names. A number sets the value, and { times = 4 } multiplies it.

Check it

1. Run cargo enshwick pack check you.material-stacks --game <game folder>. It reads every file against the game’s data and prints each problem with its file and line, with the names that look like a misspelt one:

   error: items.toml:2:1: no item "Material_T1_Wood_Log" in this pack, and no vanilla item "Material_T1_Wood_Log"; near: Material_T1_Wood_Logs

Install and play

1. Copy the folder into the game’s mods/ folder, on the server and in every player’s game: the join check lets only players with the same pack in.

2. Start the game. The pack’s log, logs/enshwick/mods/you.material-stacks.log, counts what it changed:

   info  [you.material-stacks] data pack: 0 ids, 0 loot drops, 1 changes

3. Pick up wood logs: a slot now holds four times as many.

A world saved with larger stacks depends on the pack from then on, and the game stops before it loads that world without it. Read stack sizes and saved worlds before you remove it.

Release it

1. Run cargo enshwick pack zip you.material-stacks and attach the archive to your release; players unpack it into the game’s folder.

Next

Data packs lists every change a pack can make: recipe costs and times, chest slots, item stats, new items, workshops and loot. With dev_reload = true, changed values apply while the game runs. The repository’s examples/you.material-stacks/ is a finished pack of this kind for five materials.
