🧩 How to Add New Minecraft Versions to mDirt

As of mDirt v3.0, the process of adding support for new Minecraft versions has been streamlined - no need to rebuild or re-release the app itself! Follow the steps below to add support for a new Minecraft version:

🟩 Step 0: Launch Minecraft

Launch the version of Minecraft that mDirt is being updated to. This is required!

🧪 Step 1: Generate the Data File

1. Open lib/PYs/compile_data.py.
2. On the very last line of the file, update the version to the targeted version.
3. Run the file. It will generate the Data file for you.

📁 Step 2: Update the Version List

1. Open lib/version_list.json.
2. Add the version number to versions.
3. Add the data and resource pack formats to dataformat and resourceformat.

📦 Step 3: Create the Version Module

1. Duplicate the most recent version inside src/generation/{version}, and rename it to the new version.

   • 💡Use the format: v1_22_0 (for Minecraft 1.22)

2. Use the Minecraft Wiki page for the new version to change any thing that might need changed for the new support
3. ZIP the folder, and move it to modules/.

⬆️ Step 4: Upload to Github

If you are a member of the Team, simply upload the items from all 3 steps to Github. If not, create a pull request and a team member will look at it.

✅ Done!

mDirt will automatically recognize the new version - no release required!
