Resource pack version of Macaw's Paintings for Custom Paintings mod #338

Open Roundaround opened 9 months ago

Roundaround commented 9 months ago

Hello! I'm the author of the Custom Paintings mod over on Modrinth:

https://modrinth.com/mod/custom-paintings-mod https://github.com/Roundaround/mc-fabric-custom-paintings

I saw your mod adding paintings to the game and was wondering if there was any possibility you/we/I could make and publish a resource pack version of the paintings compatible with my mod! It would let users look through and choose your paintings underneath a "Macaw's Paintings" collection in my mod's UI.

Creating a resource pack version should be pretty easy to do. I could give you the initial json file to include or you could use the app I started putting together to create (and subsequently update) the pack yourself if you want to do it all directly:

https://github.com/Roundaround/mc-painting-editor (As of the time of writing, the latest published version is 0.1.4): https://github.com/Roundaround/mc-painting-editor/releases/tag/0.1.4

Just keep in mind if you want to use the app, I haven't gotten around to getting the digital certificate to sign the code yet (that costs money 😬) so your browser and Windows might warn you that its unsafe, but all the code is there on the public repo in case you don't trust me.

Please let me know your thoughts! If you don't want to deal with it but don't mind if I do (I would of course link back to the original mod), I can do do that too! I noticed the mod's source code is published on GitHub and listed with the MIT license but since it includes custom art I wanted to ask you first anyway.

I would love to make a resource pack version, but not all paintings could be in it, since there is a lot more than in vanilla

Might do a resourcepack with the best ones, good suggestion.

That's the best part of my mod! You can add as many paintings as you want. The key is that you have to provide a custompaintings.json file in the root of the resource pack with the appropriate metadata (names, dimensions, etc.) or use the app I mentioned above to do it automatically. With your permission I'd be happy to create the initial resource pack for you to have as a reference, and all the mod info (including the format of the json file) is all on the mod's description
