A JS script to help clone JSON files for similar Minecraft blockstates, block models, item models, and recipes. This is to help speed up Minecraft modding.

Please have NodeJS installed to run the runner.js file.

You might need to install the NodeJS fs and path modules, if you haven't previously used them.

To start, fill in the array in copylist.js with your Strings of variants. If the array is empty, the script will not clone any JSON files.

Go into runner.js and define the absolute path to the Resources folder of a Minecraft mod that you want to clone JSON files for. If this is not defined properly, the script will not run.

Finally you can define a replace using the replace() function. This function takes in the folder path, then the file name to clone, then the string to find, then the array of string variants to replace, then a boolean of wether or not existing files should be overwritten. You can use the example to get started. You can clone and replace files in multiple directories by making multiple replace() calls.

// Example replace call
replace(blockstatesFolder, 'orange_crop_top.json', "orange", copyList, false);

Finally run the script using node runner.js from a terminal in the repo's root folder. The script will provide you with output as to what it is doing, and will also print out errors if they are encountered.
