Simple Mod Loader

Hi! So I recently made a mod for a modpack I'm making.

All that it does is allow the user to load blocks, and items from simple files. You can also make it so that custom items can be used as fuel and add smelting recipes using it. The most complex thing I've made with this is about like 25 lines of text.

Here's the curseforge page.

I really just need it to add custom crafting materials.

Thank you!

I never knew about contenttweaker, however I do have a more basic syntax then that.

However, I do also have plans to allow the player to make custom crafting tables, guis, entities, etc. I might also allow the player to make blocks that produce RF based on conditions, if I can figure out how to do that with MCreator.

Also, is it possible to make an item act as a fuel source with minetweaker?

How about custom grass which also turns to a user defined block if there is a block above it using contenttweaker?

This is one of the main features I want out of my mod.

Ok, actually looking at the syntax of contenttweaker, it looks like I might be able to, but it also is a lot more learning than I want to do.
Also, the syntax looks like a much over complicated version of Java mixed with html.

Quote from example block

Block:

Name:grassy_iron

CanBeUsedForBeacon:true

CanHavePlants:true

DiesWithBlock:true

DieToBlock:minecraft:iron_block

Material:minecraft:iron_block

SoundMaterial:minecraft:iron_block

This creates a block, registered as "simpleml:[modname]_grassy_iron", that sounds like an iron block when you mine/walk on it, turns into a iron block after a while if you place a block on top of it, and can have plants on it.

The one I sent is an example block made with my one. I never said that that looks like html.

Honestly, I don't see a point in learning Contenttweaker, as it looks like the sorta thing where it is literally easier to just use java. Mine is minimal lines of text.

I'd honestly rather not figure out what combination of probably like 60 lines of text could be used together to make what I've made in about 12 lines of text.

import mods.contenttweaker.VanillaFactory;
import mods.contenttweaker.Block;

var zsBlock = VanillaFactory.createBlock("zs_block", <blocckmaterial:iron>);
zsBlock.fullBlock = true;
zsBlock.lightOpacity = 255;
zsBlock.translucent = true;
zsBlock.lightValue = 1.0;
zsBlock.blockHardness = 5.0;
zsBlock.blockResistance = 5.0;
zsBlock.toolClass = "pickaxe";
zsBlock.toolLevel = 2;
zsBlock.blockSoundType = <soundtype:metal>;
zsBlock.register();

What this looks like to me, is a combination of html (with the var zsBlock) and java, with most of the rest.
If I wanted to learn this, I would probably need multiple videos on it, and I just generally do not like the syntax

I did use MCreator, but only as a compiler.

I tried using intellij, but it kept giving errors, so I switched to MCreator.

Either way, I was gonna wind up using MCreator simply for finding variables. But I’ve also went through a bunch of syntax’s before finally settling upon java (javascript, c#, html, scratch, MCreator, commands [1.12], commands [1.13], xml, couple custom ones that are similar to eachother).

Zenscript seems like a bit more different then the ones I’ve used then I would like.

:L
Learning new syntax's is like my least favorite thing. Especially when all the variables are different from what I'm used to.
