A mod that allows you to create and add new items using pure text files.

No dependencies, doesn't need Fabric API.

Creating Items

Create a new folder called "itemsfromtext" in your .minecraft folder and navigate inside
For each item make a txt file and a png image. Both files should be named your item's registry name (e.g. ender_pearl)
Inside the txt file complete one of the example templates below with your own item's data
For custom namespaces, make a new folder within the main folder and put items in that folder

Crafting Recipes

Crafting recipes can either be shaped or shapeless.

To give your item a custom crafting recipe, add a recipe property.

Recipes must be defined like this:

recipe=shaped,TOP ROW,MIDDLE ROW,BOTTOM ROW,QUANTITY,KEYS or recipe=shapeless,QUANTITY,ITEMS

Examples:

Recipe for a Furnace:

recipe=shaped,XXX,X X,XXX,1,X-minecraft:cobblestone

Recipe for Flint and Steel:

recipe=shapeless,1,minecraft:flint,minecraft:iron_ingot
