This addon contains many code snippets that show how you can use custom components to create new logic for custom blocks and items.

Prerequisites

Install Node.js tools, if you haven't already

We're going to use the package manager npm to get more tools to make the process of building our project easier.

Visit https://nodejs.org/.

Download the version with "LTS" next to the number and install it. (LTS stands for Long Term Support, if you're curious.) In the Node.js Windows installer, accept the installation defaults. You do not need to install any additional tools for Native compilation.

Install Visual Studio Code, if you haven't already

Visit the Visual Studio Code website and install Visual Studio Code.

Getting Started

  1. Use npm to install dependent modules:

    npm i

  2. Use this shortcut command to open the project in Visual Studio Code:

    code .

Chapter 2. Let's test the parts of our project

Within the root folder (howto-gallery) of this sample, run this command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

Run this one to deploy in the game.

npm run local-deploy

Create an addon file to share.

npm run mcaddon
