WorldHandler/usercontent/Usercontent.md

Usercontent Reference

The World Handler provides the ability to be extended with custom tabs configured with json files.

Setup

The World Handler only loads usercontent files from ../.minecraft/config/worldhandler/usercontent/.
To add a custom GUI a new folder is required with a json file inside it named exactly the same as the folder.
That name indicates the id of the usercontent and may only consist of the characters 0-9 a-z -_:.
Additionally a javascript file can be created inside the folder with exactly the same name as the folder.

Example setup for a custom GUI with id example:

../.minecraft/config/worldhandler/usercontent/example/example.json
../.minecraft/config/worldhandler/usercontent/example/example.js

An example GUI can be found here

Index

Content: A single GUI of the World Handler i.e. the main page
Category: A collection of contents that are grouped together and are displayed in tabs next to each other
