Regolith

• Regolith is an Add-on Compiler for the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.

Much like bridge. v2, Regolith introduces the concept of a "project folder", where your addons are written, including the RP, the BP, and any models, textures or configuration files. This single-folder-structure is great for version control, and allows you to keep your "source-of-truth" outside of com.mojang.
In the simplest case, Regolith allows you to "compile" (copy) your RP and BP from the project folder, into the com.mojang folder. During the copy, Regolith will run a series of "filters" on the files, allowing you to programmatically transform them as they are copied into com.mojang. This allows you to transform your addon non-destructively, and to introduce new syntax into addons.

🎫 Value Preposition

Fundamentally, Regolith is nothing new. Many tools like this exist, such as the bridge v2 plugin system, or even something like Gulp or SASS.
The value preposition for Regolith is that it allows many tools, in many languages and pay-structures to work together in a single, unified compilation flow.
Hobbiests can use the Standard Library ⇗, or write their own filters. Marketplace teams can write proprietary filters, or internal filters.

💻 Regolith Development

🎚 Setup:

This setup is for developers. If you're a normal user, you can find simpler instructions here.

1. Install Golang

Installation and beginners guide ⇗.

2. Install Dependencies

go get -u ./... to recursively install all dependencies.

3. Test / Run

Since Regolith is a console application which requires very specific project setup and arguments, go run .\main.go doesn't really do anything.

You can build and install Regolith from source using go install and test test the application in the same way as user would do, by using it on a separate Regolith project.

You can also write your own tests in the test directory. Here are some examples of useful test commands:

go test ./test - runs all of the tests from the test folder (we keep all of the test there)
go test ./test -v -run "TestRecycledCopy" - run only the "TestRecycledCopy" with verbose output.
dlv test ./test -- "-test.run" TestInstallAllAndRun - debug the "TestInstallAllAndRun" test using delve

🏗 Building as a `.exe`:

You can build either with GoReleaser, or natively

1. Install GoReleaser

go install github.com/goreleaser/goreleaser@latest

2. Build

There are a few ways to build:

go install (installs to gopath)
go build (creates a .exe file)
./scripts/build-local.sh (¯_(ツ)_/¯)
