Generation for Minecraft game and loader metadata - possible future implementation in TypeScript.
For the time being this repo mirrors the latest commit - and you can use the generated output by setting your Metadata URL to https://thekodetoad.github.io/metabolism-test/output/.
Run pnpm install then pnpm start.
There are two key concepts - providers and goals. Providers are metadata sources, and goals are metadata targets.
For example, the piston-meta provider provides data to the net.minecraft goal.
Goals specify one or more dependencies on providers.
Pass nothing to see full usage with a list of providers and goals.
Available commands:
Prepare data from the specified providers, or all if none are specified.
Builds the output of the specified goals, or all if none are specified.
The Rust rewrite (mcmeta) has been in the works for over two years - it can continue to coexist as a future alternative - but as of May 2025 something to replace our MultiMC meta fork feels long overdue. I (TheKodeToad) chose TypeScript as I am more familiar with it. But the main difference is that this rewrite is less ambition - this only intends to generate metadata in the existing format simply with (hopefully) cleaner code.
Licensing should not be a concern as no code is taken from the original project.
