Features

• Automatic script reloading - This is achieved by using a WebSocket you can connect to once the watch server is started.
• Code reliability - Thanks to TypeScript, you'll get type errors and such before you even run the code.

Setup and Usage

1. Download and install the latest version of Visual Studio Code, as well as the LTS version of Node.js.
2. Create a new repo using this template and clone it locally.
3. Extract the template to a folder of your choice. Open the folder in Visual Studio Code and feel free to change both the manifest.json files in the behavior_pack and resource_pack folders located in the src folder to your liking. Change the name field in the package.json file: that will be the name used for the folder to copy things in.
4. Open a terminal in Visual Studio Code and run npm i -D to install all the dependencies, including the development dependencies.
5. Run npm run watch to start the WebSocket and watch for changes in the src folder. This will also automatically reload all the scripts when a change is detected.
6. Open Minecraft, create a new world with the add-on(s) installed and connect to the websocket using the command from the watch server (usually /wsserver ws://localhost:3000).
7. You're all set!
