Usage

Program Variants

In the releases tab on this Github page, there are two versions of the Converter that can be downloaded. For each of these versions, I will give some information on how to use it.

Console

The first, and original version of the program is the Console, or terminal program. This version is slightly more powerful, as it allows for a few extra features, that the GUI version does not support.

The basic use-case for it, is this

$ java -jar ResourcePackConverter.jar --from <fromVersion> --to <toVersion>

For example, we could replace fromVersion with 1.12, and toVersion with 1.18.

This would convert the resource pack to support Minecraft 1.18 natively.

Other arguments

There are a couple of other arguments that could also be used.

--minify will compress each JSON file to be as small as possible

--light <argument> will change the lighting of items in the GUI to support a specific lighting

--debug will enable debugging, which gives some extra information on issues that may occur

-i will specify an input directory to convert packs from.

GUI

Downloading, and running the GUI program, will allow you to have an interface that can make it easier to use the Converter.

Simply place your pack into the same folder as the GUI program, and run the program!

From there, you can select the version, whether it's minified, and let it run!
