Hello everyone,
I am attempting to make a mod which expands on the “fine items” system. For my first item, I pretty much made a slight recolor of the Stone Garden Lantern. I’ve figured out quite a bit of how things work with JSON, MagicaVoxel, the Debug Mod, and using vanilla and sample mod assets as a guide.
As a result I have an actual lantern that I can cheat into the game. The iconic and ghost versions work just fine. So here are the issues I’ve come across:
-
I’ve attempted to use a locales en.json file for names and descriptions. The idea is that should the mod “catch on”, then it could easily be updated to other languages. However the names in game all display as “long.name.with.a.lot.of.dots.in.them” How do I link the item json to the locales json?
-
The item (icon, ghost, and actual) all align and place correctly. Thank you to the debug tools I was able to ensure everything centered properly. However, when I designate the item to be picked up or moved, the arrows are floating off to the side of the item.
-
Finally, the whole purpose of this mod would be to add fine items to existing items. When I try to mixinto the recipes, I merely get an error. Is there a way to add an item to or replace an existing recipe? An example of this would be the Wooden Garden Lantern recipe with lists both the normal and fine version in the produces section.
Thank you so much for your help in this.
