Desktops

Through the use of Datapacks, it is possible to implement custom desktops which can be taken from the save file and reused in other areas.

Datapack Work

Requirements

In order to create desktop, there are only two requirements.

The TARDIS Door
The Airlock Generator

/give @p tardis_refined:air_lock_generator

The Airlock Generator will place the airlock upon generating the desktop. It will be placed SOUTH of the block.

Desktop Export Command

As a handy tool, we have provided the following command. This command will generate all the required datapack files for a new desktop, and automatically load it into the datapack folder of the world save so you don't have to!

/tardis_refined data export desktop <X1> <Y1> <Z1> <X2> <Y2> <Z2> <include_entities> <name_space> <desktop_id> <datapack_name> <display_name>

X1, Y1, Z1

A BlockPos, the first corner of the built structure.

X2 Y2 Z2

A BlockPos, the direct opposite corner of the built structure.

include_entities

True or False, Includes saving entities in the structure. Can be useful for if item frames or armor stands are present in the build.

name_space

String, The namespace of the datapack.

Examples: tardis_refined_tweaks, panda

desktop_id

String, Unique identifier for the desktop.

Examples: neon, hartnell_lounge

datapack_name

String, Name of the datapack.

Examples: cool_pack, custom_name_here

display_name

NBTComponent, Display Text for the UI.

ONLY USE the Minecraft Tellraw generated text, DO NOT include the tellraw command syntax. You can find a generator here.

Example: {\"color\":\"gold\",\"text\":\"Copper\"}

Resource Pack

Desktop Preview Texture

By default, the desktop preview texture will show a placeholder texture. If you want to show a texture for the desktops, you need to create a Minecraft Resource Pack that follows the following structure:

* assets
    * [your_resource_pack_namespace]
        * textures
            * gui
                * desktops
                    * [your_desktop_id].png
