A recreation of the Minecraft Earth API

Project Earth Api

The core API for Project Earth

DISCLAIMER

The API implementation is NOT complete, which means that not all of the game features might work as expected.

Special thanks to LukeFZ for providing all of the necessary data for recovering missing features

What does this component do?

The core API handles the bulk of game functionality - pretty much everything that isn't direct AR gameplay is done here.

Currently working features	Partially working features
Map	Buildplates (Implemetation is not complete)
Tappables	Adventures/Encounters (Implemetation is not complete)
Crafting	Smelting (Implementation is not complete)
Store	Buildplate sharing (Webpage is not implemented)
Inventory	Challenges (Challenge conditions are broken)
Boosts (Do not confuse with boost minis)

Building

1. git clone --recursive https://github.com/jackcaver/Api.git
2. cd Api
3. dotnet build or use any IDE that you want and build it there

Setting up the Project Earth server infrastructure.

Getting all the parts

to start, ensure that you have built copies of all the required components downloaded:

• A built copy of the Api (you are in this repo), which you can get from GitHub Actions
• My ApiData repo, or your own data. Rename your clone to data, and place it next to your Api executable. (if you are using a GitHub Actions build or if you got the API by using git clone --recursive, you can skip this step)
• In addition, you'll need the Minecraft Earth resource pack file, renamed to vanilla.zip and placed in the data/resourcepacks. You can procure the resourcepack from here, provided you're setting up before June 30th, 2021.
• Our fork of Cloudburst. Builds of this can be found here. This jar can be located elsewhere from the Api things.
• Run Cloudburst once to generate the file structure.
• In the plugins folder, you'll need GenoaPlugin, and GenoaAllocatorPlugin. The CI for this can be found here and here. Note: make sure to rename your GenoaAllocatorPlugin.jar to ZGenoaAllocatorPlugin.jar, or you will run into issues with class loading

Setting up

On the cloudburst side:

• within the plugins folder, create a GenoaAllocatorPlugin folder, and in there, make a key.txt file containing a base64 encryption key and ip.txt file containing your server's ip address. An example key is

/g1xCS33QYGC+F2s016WXaQWT8ICnzJvdqcVltNtWljrkCyjd5Ut4tvy2d/IgNga0uniZxv/t0hELdZmvx+cdA==

• edit the cloudburst.yml file, and chan ge the core api url to the url your Api will be accessible from
• on the Api side, go to data/config/apiconfig.json, and add the following:

"multiplayerAuthKeys": {
        "The same IP you put in ip.txt": "the same key you put in key.txt earlier"
 }

• Start up the Api
• Start up cloudburst. After a short while the Api should mention a server being connected.
• If you run into issues, retrace your steps, or contact us on discord
• If everything works, your next challenge is to get Minecraft Earth to talk to your Api. If you're on Android, you can utilize our patcher. If you're on IOS, the only way to accomplish this without jailbreak is to utilize a DNS, such as bind9. Setup for that goes beyond the scope of this guide.
