Link to official changelog

• #20
• Update pack version number (12 for resources, 13 for data)

Might actually rename the "Multipacks Atlas" to "Slices".

Allow processing assets obtained from class loaders.

An example use case would be a plugin that adds custom items: you add CustomModelData in item NBT and item model in plugin.jar/assets/namespace/models, then let Multipacks handle custom model predicates.

• #22
• #24
• #32
• Pack generation API skipped

Multipacks Server primary goal is to distribute Multipacks packs to users and distribute bundled packs to players.

• Repository functionality to Multipacks Server
• Bundled packs hosting capability

The current packs bundling API is quite horrible to use.

• #28

Waiting for issue:

• #22
• New pack format
• #27

Pack indexes now have sourceGameVersion field, which you can define the version that the pack was originally made for. To use the pack on future versions, there are 2 ways:

• Just build the pack with targetGameVersion == sourceGameVersion and load it to client. It should work, but future game versions may choose to remove "fixers" for old version, just like what they have done in 1.19.3.
• Let Multipacks remap resources to new version. This can be defined in either multipacks.modifiers.json or Bundler (targetGameVersion argument).
  • User can choose to define in multipacks.modifiers.json if they are migrating from old game version to new game version. sourceGameVersion must be the same as what is defined in multipacks.modifiers.json.

Modifiers like "builtin/models" requires a base model to be presented in user's pack. Being able to obtain models from game installations would be more convenient.

However, this might only works with Multipacks CLI. As for "Multipacks for Spigot", we have 2 options:

• Download client JAR to plugin data folder. This will take a while on initial master pack build, and it might not work well with Docker (which deletes fs once the container is deleted).
  • We can add "client JAR download location" config to multipacks.config.json so user can mount external dir to containers and use that as "cache".
• Only allow packs bundling using CLI. We have serializers that serialize modifiers output, which can be loaded to Multipacks Spigot plugin.
• Add multipacks-cli include minecraft:<resource path> command to CLI to obtain assets from game JAR.

• Switch to "multiple predicate types" system
• Add support for "item durability" predicate
• Add support for "trim material" predicate
  • It is important not to override existing materials.

• Blockbench models loader
• Conversion for Blockbench models to Minecraft JSON models
• 23w06a: Blockbench model animations to functions (using item display entities)
• 23w06a: Blockbench models to Minecraft JSON models with item display entities
  • With this, you can spawn Blockbench models with XYZ rotations, quaternions or matrix transformations

Java Edition 1.19.3 has just been released. There are some changes to packs:

• Resource pack version is now 12.
• Introduction of feature flags.
• Backward compatibility for resource packs with version 3 and 4 has been removed.
• Some textures loading changes.
  • Introduction of atlases/. Mainly for improving textures loading performance.

There are more technical changes, which can be found here.

There are some tasks that need to be done to support 1.19.3:

• Feature flags on index files (multipacks.index.json).
• Atlas files generation.
• Perhaps we should remove pre-flattening pack versions? (version 3 and 4)
