Omega Flowey in Minecraft - Remastered

Back in early 2016 I released Omega Flowey in Minecraft.

• original video
• original thread

Since then I've gained a lot of skills both in Minecraft map development and in programming generally. This repo will store any and everything relating to development of a remaster of the original map for modern Minecraft version(s) with better gameplay, performance, and visuals.

Important scripts

Read the descriptions of the following scripts and run them when it is recommended to:

1. NOTE: We are currently migrating to Animated Java 1.0.0. The AJ auto-exporter has not yet been updated to support this. You will have to update model export files by manually clicking Export in Blockbench until the auto-exporter is updated.

   yarn start export: run the AJ model export script

   1. add ELECTRON_ENABLE_LOGGING=1 to your .env file to enable log-passthrough from Blockbench's renderer process to the main process. Run this if your watch.models script (from yarn start watch.experimental) runs into an error while exporting AJ models.

   We recommend running yarn start export at least once, and every time changes to .ajmodel files occur from new incoming commits.

2. yarn start: this keeps your local repository's content synced with your .minecraft directory -- datapack/resourcepack changes will reflect in-game

   1. if you run yarn start watch.experimental, it also watches .ajmodel files and runs our auto-exporter on them -- this reads all .ajmodel files in your local repo and runs Animated Java's Export Project function on them.
      1. we specifically do not commit AJ's exported files to the repo since they are very large
      2. the watch.models script will not work if you already have Blockbench open, so don't expect it to do anything while that's the case
      3. its a little janky and experimental still, so **we recommend manually running yarn start export if you run into issues relating to Animated Java export files (missing models, animations, attacks not playing properly)

We recommend keeping yarn start running at all times while working on the project.

3. yarn sync: zips your Minecraft world and copies it to the repo as (world.zip). This is how we handle version-control for the actual Minecraft world. This is especially important to run and commit if you make any physical changes to the world like breaking/placing blocks.

4. yarn lint: runs Prettier, ESLint, and our custom linting rules on our files. Run this prior to pushing commits to save on our workflow hours.

Adding a new model/animation

1. Create a new Animated Java Rig via File > New > Animated Java Blueprint
2. Enter inputs for the following required fields:
   1. Project Name
   2. Resource Pack: select the pack.mcmeta file located in the repository at resourcepack/pack.mcmeta
   3. Data Pack: select the pack.mcmeta file located in the repository at datapacks/animated_java/pack.mcmeta
3. Save the file with CTRL + S to somewhere appropriate under resourcepack/assets/omega-flowey/models
   1. While the model is still a work-in-progress, append _dev to the filename so our auto-export scripts skip it
      1. e.g. housefly_dev.ajmodel
4. Export your model/animations by clicking Animated Java > Export at the top
5. When finished with the model, remove the _dev suffix from the filename (e.g. housefly.ajmodel)
