This is probably the most cursed thing I've ever been asked to add to a Resource Pack...

The End in Minecraft... but Endstone is cheese...

A bumper crop!

This week's #Minecraft Marketplace new releases!

We've got DRONES INVASION by Rareloot which I would have thought a bit too topical, but whatever...

Blockception's MINE BUDDY might be just what you need for augmented solo play.

ZOMBIES++ (YumYum) and ZOMBIFIED (Levelatics) rise from the grave.

This week on the #Minecraft Marketplace there's a #free OWLS ADD-ON by the @noxcrew.com crew!

Grassroots Minecraft Mapmaking @mapmakingmag.bsky.social · 18d

And voila! Handed off for review and merge.

All done. Simple, eh?

Grassroots Minecraft Mapmaking @mapmakingmag.bsky.social · 18d

Create the Pull Request (I'm asking the original repo main branch to include, by "pulling", the additional file I created) by clicking that button, describe the Pull Request and anything noteworthy to help the maintainer review it, then hit the big green button:

Grassroots Minecraft Mapmaking @mapmakingmag.bsky.social · 18d

Now to create a pull request.

I'm logged into GitHub in the right repository.
I've created a fork for my work, if I had edit rights I could work on a branch instead.

Selecting the "registry" folder on my fork repo, I add my file

Select the "Pull Requests" tab and then "New Pull Request" button.

Here's the file all laid out, and if you're stuck take a peek into your resource pack language files to double check what namespace identifiers you're using (screenshot 2)

From a data design perspective, the repetition of the "creator" field is a redundancy that you'd normally avoid but whatever...

Grassroots Minecraft Mapmaking @mapmakingmag.bsky.social · 18d

I'm going to add the namespace details for 4x Marketplace Add-Ons in this edit session:

CHOMP, LAMP LIGHTS, BUBBLE, and C.A.L.M.

Grassroots Minecraft Mapmaking @mapmakingmag.bsky.social · 18d

Have a look at the "registry" folder contents. Our job is to make a new one of these files for our studio, with our team name as the file name (for tracking).

Grassroots Minecraft Mapmaking @mapmakingmag.bsky.social · 18d

There's a new initiative to create a namespace registry, led by @jannisx11.bsky.social

I'm going to document the steps here. If you're an Add-On creator, this is for you.

First, go to the GitHub repo:
github.com/Bedrock-OSS/...
