JsMacros script template

Trying to create more complex JsMacros scripts in typescript/javascript?
This is a template for that purpose.

• Create a repo from the template and clone it (or just download the ZIP of this repo)
• Open the repo folder with VSCode
• Open a terminal (in vscode: Terminal->New Terminal) in the repo folder and run npm i
• Run npm run watch and leave that command running in the background. It will automatically re-process your code files when anything changes.
• Your script outputs are now located in the dist folder.
• To load the dist files into JsMacros without having to move them into your minecraft folder each time, you can use this powershell command:
• New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path "C:\Path\To\Your\.minecraft\config\jsMacros\Macros\dist" -Target "C:\Path\To\Your\JsMacros-script-template\dist"
• You should now have a dist folder in your JsMacros file browser

A short overview of the directory structure:

• dist/: Contains the generated files to load in JsMacros, don't make manual changes to the files in this folder.
• src/: Contains all source code of your JsMacros projects
  • scripts/: Contains the actual script files that will be used as entry points, meaning you intend to load them directly ingame.
  • lib/: Contains code that your scripts need to run, but that isn't a macro by itself

If you create a folder in scripts/ and put a ts/js file with the same name as the folder into it (like scripts/TreeFarmer/TreeFarmer.ts), only that file will be treated as an entry point. That way you can organize files without dumping everything that's not a JsMacros script into lib/.

The repo contains a bunch of existing lib and script files from aMelonRind's script repository. You can keep them and reuse the lib files / use them as reference, or just delete them all. Many of the lib files are quite useful though!
