Scaffold a Mod
Start the mod right: a correctly-shaped Minecraft datapack — pack.mcmeta carrying the right format number for the target game version, namespaced folders laid out properly, and one working example of the mod's core idea — plus install steps a twelve-year-old can follow. Locks the idea and the version's structure rules FIRST, then scaffolds the tree, then writes the README. Use for starting a datapack, scaffolding a mod, 'my kid wants a mod that…', datapack setup, and first-mod projects.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope the mod | Developer | the idea, the target version, the structure rules locked |
| 2 | Scaffold the datapack | Developer | pack.mcmeta plus the namespaced tree with one working example |
| 3 | Write the README | Copywriter | install and test steps a twelve-year-old can follow |
| 4 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 5 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
