I was originally pretty sceptical about this, but it actually ends up being useful for the same reason any other form of datagen is: we can ensure that names are well formed, and that every string is actually translated. There's some future work here to go through all the custom translation keys and move them into constants (maybe also do something with the /computercraft command?), but that's a separate chunk of work. The main motivation for this is to add translation keys to our config: the Fabric version of Forge Config API provides a config UI, so it's useful to provide user-friendly strings. Our generator also automatically copies comments over, turning them into tooltips. This also updates all of the other language files to match en_us.json again: it's a very noisy diff as the file is now sorted alphabetically. Hopefully this won't affect weblate though [^1]: Amusing really that the Fabric port actually is more useful than the original.
CC: Tweaked is a mod for Minecraft which adds programmable computers, turtles and more to the game. A fork of the much-beloved ComputerCraft, it continues its legacy with better performance, stability, and a wealth of new features.
CC: Tweaked can be installed from CurseForge or Modrinth. It requires the Minecraft Forge mod loader, but versions are available for Fabric.
Contributing
Any contribution is welcome, be that using the mod, reporting bugs or contributing code. If you want to get started developing the mod, check out the instructions here.
Community
If you need help getting started with CC: Tweaked, want to show off your latest project, or just want to chat about ComputerCraft, do check out our forum and GitHub discussions page! There's also a fairly populated, albeit quiet IRC channel, if that's more your cup of tea.
We also host fairly comprehensive documentation at tweaked.cc.
Using
CC: Tweaked is hosted on my maven repo, and so is relatively simple to depend on. You may wish to add a soft (or hard)
dependency in your mods.toml file, with the appropriate version bounds, to ensure that API functionality you depend
on is present.
repositories {
maven {
url 'https://squiddev.cc/maven/'
content {
includeGroup 'org.squiddev'
}
}
}
dependencies {
compileOnly fg.deobf("org.squiddev:cc-tweaked-${mc_version}:${cct_version}:api")
runtimeOnly fg.deobf("org.squiddev:cc-tweaked-${mc_version}:${cct_version}")
}
You should also be careful to only use classes within the dan200.computercraft.api package. Non-API classes are
subject to change at any point. If you depend on functionality outside the API, file an issue, and we can look into
exposing more features.
We bundle the API sources with the jar, so documentation should be easily viewable within your editor. Alternatively, the generated documentation can be browsed online.
