@kubejs/plugin

Introduce

A long time ago when first time I met KubeJS mod I was so excited about it. I first looked to mod but couldn't use it cause time and knowledge. But now when I improved my self as JavaScript developer I decided to make a modpack with KubeJS mod. But regular usage of KubeJS mod is not enough for me. For that I decided to use vite as bundler for KubeJS scripts. It's small and scratch project. Please give a feedback if you have any idea.

Pre-requirements

• NodeJS - I recommend to use LTS version.
• Yarn - I recommend to use yarn 2.
• KubeJS - I recommend to use latest version.
• ProbeJS - required for full typescript support.

Usage

Create new minecraft project in one of these platforms such as curseforge, modrinth, etc...
Then setup new node project on instance directory.

cd /path/to/instance
npm init -y
# or
yarn init -y # for yarn 1
yarn init -y -2 # for yarn 2

Add @kubejs/plugin to your project.

npm install @kubejs/plugin
# or
yarn add @kubejs/plugin

Add these scripts to your package.json file.

{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "kubejs build",
    "watch": "kubejs build --watch"
  }
}

Add this configuration to your tsconfig.json file.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "types": ["@kubejs/plugin/probe.d.ts"]
  }
}

Now you can run npm run build or yarn build to build your scripts for production.
Or you can run npm run watch or yarn watch to start development statement.

You can add additional buildable config in vite.config.ts. But in my opinion I made everything which I can. After that you can start writing your scripts in src directory, and it will automatically will be built into kubejs/*_scripts directories depends on entry file. You can find more information about KubeJS mod in here.

File Structure

Here have 3 entry points for vite build.

• src/client.ts - This file will be built into kubejs/client_scripts directory, and it will be loaded on client side.
• src/server.ts - This file will be built into kubejs/server_scripts directory, and it will be loaded on server side.
• src/startup.ts - This file will be built into kubejs/startup_scripts directory, and it will be loaded on startup.
