PyModMC

PyModMC is a Minecraft modding library made for Python. It is built on top of the Fabric API. The project is still in its early stages. In future updates I am planning to add:

• Blocks
• Potions
• Tools and Armor
• Crops
• Crafting Recipes
• UI
• Entities
• World Generation/Dimensions

from PyModMC import *

test_mod = Mod('Test Mod', '0.0.1', 'A test mod.', '1.20.1', ['Fluxyn'])
FoodItem(test_mod, 'Donut', 1, 1)
test_mod.run()

In order to make Minecraft mods, you need a Java Development Kit. Run the javac command to see if you already have one. If not, you can get one here. Make sure to enable 'Set JAVA_HOME variable' and restart your computer after installation.

If build fails, be sure to have an appropriate Java version according to your Minecraft version, for > 1.17 you will need Java 17, for older versions use Java 11. You can get the installed Java version with this command.

$ java -version

Installation

Install PyModMC with pip:

$ pip install PyModMC

On your first run, PyModMC will scrape the Modrinth API to get every single Fabric version and the corresponding Minecraft version. This can take a couple of minutes, but the data is cached and won't be updated until another version of Fabric is released.

Documentation

Mod class

Mod(mod_name, mod_version, description, minecraft_version, authors, website='', directory=os.getcwd())

The Mod class represents a Minecraft mod. Upon initializing, it will copy the file structure from the Fabric example mod and configure it using the values above.

• The save function converts the python data into Java and saves it in the mod folder. Used internally by run and build.

  mod.save()

• The run function Saves and launches a new instance of Minecraft with Fabric and the mod installed. Useful for testing your mod.

  mod.run()

• The build function Saves and exports your mod as a .jar file.

  mod.build()

Object classes

Object classes represent any object you can mod into Minecraft such as items and blocks. In the future, these classes will have shared event and Java scripting functions, making it easy to add custom behavior to any item or block you add.

• The Item class creates an item.

  Item(mod, name, itemgroup, image=None):

• The FoodItem class creates an edible item. Inherets from Item.

  FoodItem(mod, name, hunger, saturation, itemgroup='FOOD_AND_DRINK', image=None)

Other functions

• The change_locale function takes a Minecraft locale code (check locale_codes.txt) and replaces the current locale detected by the library.

  change_locale(code)
