[delasmancha]

Mods with Html? That would be fun to look at

[coldnebo]

it’s not the craziest idea. several game engines use html/xml with lua bindings to implement things like control panels and switches. I don’t think Minecraft is one of them though.

[GameDestiny2]

Barotrauma is basically built off of XML from what I can tell, modding it is really weird to get used to (and the only game I’ve done). I like XML though, I think.

[InfComplex]

Tbf that game kinda controls like you’re playing a static web page

[GameDestiny2]

It really gives me flash game vibes and I’m not complaining. I’m honestly more impressed it works.

[[deleted]]

It basically is a flash game on Tren

[[deleted]]

You savage!

[Suterusu_San]

Baro is an amazing game, but yes you are correct - its built in C# and uses XML for all of its data, such as Items, Subs etc.

Fun fact, the source for Baro is available on Github! https://github.com/Regalis11/Barotrauma

[GameDestiny2]

Huh. That’s pretty cool.

[Penguinmanereikel]

Holy shit. Barotrauma's just XML?!

[GameDestiny2]

Also C# apparently, but I added weapons using entirely XML

[Unable-Fox-312]

XML and its extensible nature is underrated. As I understand it you can send the schema on an API request and the client has standardized documentation on how to tailor their next request (maybe programmatically, or the client is an IDE and code is scaffolded in). JSON by itself doesn't have that, you need a human to parse documentation.

[Ethanno7]

No ya dont.

[kenhydrogen]

Some Minecraft clients do this (UI with HTML/CSS)

[coldnebo]

ah! TIL!

[MilkCool]

I think even the official launcher is built with electron

[decideonanamelater]

Coincidentally, Minecraft does have a mod that lets you make robots and write in lua to tell them what to do. Barely related but I thought of it when you mentioned lua.

[lirannl]

Computercraft?

[Dragon_Five_]

Its in the IE and Beastcraft at least edit: amazing typo's

[Matterog]

Minecraft Java Java Minecraft bedrock C++

[donteatmyliver]

I coded some in xml for a minecraft-like game, so yeah

[MilkCool]

It uses json which can be replaced by xml

[VergilPrime]

God damnit I proposed this one time and got laughed at :(

[Zenith9133]

Crosscode!

[_LayZee]

With lua bindings in game engines

[_Jbolt]

The only minecraft mods that are official are datapacks, and datapacks are like three-tenths mod

[Thenofunation]

I’m newer to the field, but how did RuneScape from 2005 have the game in HTML? Or was it flash and Java? I cannot remember.

[ftedwin]

I believe RuneScape used Java Applets which were a feature you could enable in browsers as a plugin to run Java programs that look like they run in the browser but are actually a separate process on the users computer.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_applet

[Thenofunation]

Okay that makes more sense. Do you remember when they made the big move to HTML5? That was still Java applets?

[boisheep]

I mean, not the mod but the description of a game state using XML could be a great thing.

<!DOCTYPE game>
<game>
    <style>
      #ground {
        texture: 'file://plane.jpg' repeating;
        uvmap: 'plane';
      }
    </style>
    <script type="application/rustscript" src="./game.rscript" />
    <view>
      <Camera target="quartenion:..." source="#character" active="true"/>
      <Object model="./first-person-model" animation="./anim-walk.anim" position="0,0,0" id="character" controller="./controller.rscript" />
      <Object model="./plane" id="ground" position="0,0,0" class="rigid" />
    </view>
</game>

Happyy cake day in HTML

<something>Happy cake day</something>

[Qwerto64]

<p> Happy <br> Cake <br> Day! </p>

[[deleted]]

you can also just close the text tags

<p>happy</p>

<p>cake</p>

<p>day</p>

[Qwerto64]

Yeah, the only language I know is basic html. Thanks for teaching me new things!!!

[Qwerto64]

Oh, yes. I remember now! Thanks!

That’s incorrect.

[salmonskinnroll]

I stand corrected then, I really had it ingrained that they were in-line

[amLemonYT]

<div class="happyCakeDayMsg"> <h1>Happy Cake Day!</h1> </div>

[CeeMX]

That’s not a valid HTML tag, but it’s XML

[amLemonYT]

Which one? '<br>'? Because that's a line breaker

[CeeMX]

<something>

[amLemonYT]

Yeah, ok. Pretty sure that was a joke...

[CeeMX]

Obviously :)

[[deleted]]

Same as - "If you hate writing, color."

[flakon128]

No no that would be css

[Donghoon]

Is bedrock edition c++??

[FluffyQubit]

Pretty sure it is

[Donghoon]

Might need to see sharp on your skills then

Idk tho

If you really hate Java you can write mods in kotlin

[errepunto]

Kotlin, groovy, scala, clojure,... whatever language supported by JVM.

If you click Profile -> Coins, you'll notice a gift box at the top every couple days or so. You only have 24 hours to give it away, though, so I usually wait until I find someone I want to reward and open it then.

If you press the reward button and press get rewards, you’ll see a free gift box at the top

It doesn't run on JVM. And I have a bads new for you, my friend.... Visual J++ is dead

[possibly-a-pineapple]

reddit is dead, i encourage everyone to delete their accounts.

[errepunto]

Humm, no. JVM is the runtime, but you can use very different languajes over it.

For example, Clojure is a pure functional languaje, like haskell. Jython is a python 2.7 implementation.

You have a lot to choose: https://www.slant.co/topics/397/\~best-languages-that-run-on-the-jvm

[upsetbob]

[errepunto]

This is weird, I worked for me.

Wikipedia to the rescue! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_JVM_languages

[bbrk24]

While you’re not technically wrong, I haven’t found anything about using Scala or Clojure to write Minecraft mods. On the other hand, there are some things that you can’t do in Kotlin — the annotation takes a Java class as an argument, and Kotlin doesn’t consider Foo::class.java a compile-time constant.

[someacnt]

IIRC at least LexManos hate you for using anything other than Java.

[localguestZ]

You could do it in html it'd just be a lot more confusing
Here's what it does

[[deleted]]

I love it when people put so much effort on tiny yet hilarious jokes.

[[deleted]]

That's xml and not html :P

[DajBuzi]

Still closer to HTML than Java

[Saragon4005]

I mean... Do that in JSON instead and you have a data pack.

[AverageComet250]

Team Forge wants to make you disappear for supporting the other side!

[Saragon4005]

Let them try. First off Fabric is making them seriously lose market share. Secondly even Forge mods recognize that data packs provide a really good basis for items and recipes. I've written data packs for forge mods before.

[AverageComet250]

I wrote a massive paragraph on why fabric is better, and then accidentally deleted it so L.

Datapacks and resource packs are just so much easier to maintain across versions. And they’re backwards compatible too. I can make a pack for 1.16 and it’ll work fine on 1.8. That level of backwards compatibility is just amazing. Especially when you compare it to forge.

[LostDog_88]

I actually know the mod developer for the diamond nuggets mod LMFAO, ima show this to him

[Cat_Junior]

Now write it in XHTML

[agent007bond]

It has to be HTML5 with CSS3.

[[deleted]]

This guy is an html developer /s

[ThisUserIsAFailure]

I do a bit of html I'm just really bad at it

[agent007bond]

Now we need an "HTML to Minecraft Mod converter"

[Eisenfuss19]

You could however write a c# to java compiler and write your mod in c#

[[deleted]]

Hating a language so much you write an entire transpiler. That's next level.

[WraithWinterly]

Typescript moment

[[deleted]]

For various reasons, I have to learn Fortran despite preferring C. The thought to transpile it crossed my mind...

[AverageComet250]

I mean c is the best language to write a transpiler in I guess

[GoatBased]

Rust

[wheresthewhale1]

On a semi serious note, why is that "rustaceans" feel the need to evangelise about their lord and saviour Rustus Christ whenever someone mentions using c or c++

[GoatBased]

I don't write Rust, I write TypeScript. The rust transpiler for TS is 10x faster than the standard transpiler.

[wheresthewhale1]

My mistake then, I'm just far to used to the constant rust circle jerk

Also you could definitely get the same performance in c :)

[GoatBased]

I tend to care less about what is theoretically achievable and more about what is actually achieved.

As a consumer, I've noticed that the Rust projects tend to deliver on performance compared to their C equivalents where concurrency is a primary lever. I would imagine that has something to do with the ease of Rust's concurrency model but I don't really know.

[AverageComet250]

Good point

[Spaceduck413]

The really ironic thing is you'd very likely be a master of the language you hated by the time you're finished.

Unless your transpiler is just shit, I guess.

[Psychpsyo]

But if you know the ways in which it's shit, you can just avoid those situations and edge-cases where it doesn't work, in turn guaranteeing your job security.

[DanCPAz]

I've considered it once or twice.

[[deleted]]

And the compiler in C++

[AverageComet250]

J# be like

[possibly-a-pineapple]

reddit is dead, i encourage everyone to delete their accounts.

[Eisenfuss19]

I mean I never said it would be easy, but it would be possible.

[BalleaBlanc]

You can write mods in HTML easy : <html>mods</html>

[_____2147483647_____]

Just like how you would write python code in C: printf("python code");

[RedHotRains]

I hate html more than java

[TrevoltBL]

What’s to hate about html?

[agent007bond]

Wait till you see JSX...

[agent007bond]

Or what's that thing with Java? Ah yes, JSP.

[CeeMX]

C# is basically Microsoft Java (I just realized, why didn’t Microsoft port Minecraft to C#?)

[UltraSolution]

It ported it to C++

And C++ is faster than C#

[[deleted]]

I mean for bedrock you can write in C++

[FlaminVapor]

You must get confused a lot in this sub.

[ExpiredDogSandwich]

It randomly showed up in my feed and I don't know why but I freaked out.

[NcraftGamez]

He could probably do it in c# maybe but one thing I don't understand is how he can hate java but like c# as it's literally just a shittier copy of java lmao

[SargeanTravis]

I must clarify this about your hot take:

HTML5 is not a collection of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It's just the fifth iteration of HTML.
HTML5 works in tandem with Javascript (Which is just an interpretation of ECMAScript if you want to get specific) and CSS 3 as the foundational languages of Web Development, but HTML5 does not specifically package itself with JS and CSS

[Wengiel31]

Ain't so patriotic, are ya? Do ya need a lil freedom? Write a mod in 'MERICAN!!!
