Wiki Data Exporter

A minimal mod to render and export item assets and other useful information from mods.

Made for Modded Minecraft Wiki authors.

Usage

Configure the exporter

The exporter is configured using a JSON file following the format described in config.example.jsonc. When copying this file, please remove the comments and use the .json extension instead.

By default, the exporter will look for the configuration file at run/wiki_exporter/config.json, but you can define your own file path using the wiki_exporter.output.path system property. See below for details.

Example configuration:

{
  // (optional) Output base path, relative to the "run" directory
  "output_path": "wiki_exporter",
  // Enabled exporter modules
  "enabled": [
    "metadata",
    "render"
  ],
  // Per-module config
  "modules": {
    "render": {
      // In-game ID namespaces to export from
      "namespaces": [
        "minecraft"
      ],
      // Export file resolution in px
      "resolution": 128,
      // Enable static texture exports
      "png": true
    }
  }
}

Enable the exporter

The exporter will only run when the wiki_exporter.enabled system property is set to true. You should configure it individually per each run configuration as desired. We recommend creating a separate run configuration for the exporter.

The exporter will run automatically when the game launches, and will close it once all exports are complete.

Certain modules, such as render, will only run on client instances.

Example configuration using NeoForge ModDevGradle:

neoForge {
    runs {
        exportClient {
            client()
            systemProperty 'wiki_exporter.enabled', 'true'
        }
        exportServer {
            server()
            programArgument 'nogui'
            systemProperty 'wiki_exporter.enabled', 'true'
        }
    }
}
