Textures_list Generator writen with RUST

[fickle briar]

Someone had already written the same thing in Python, but this one doesn't need a phyton to run and it's really fast, and it writes all the textures that are in "textures", not just those of "blocks" and "entities". However, the exe file only works on Windows.

To use it Navigate to the "Textures" folder, right-click on it and press Copy Path then double-click on texture_list_generator and paste the "Textures" path.

if you alreade have the textures_list.json file in "textures" you dont need to delet it to update it . it will overwritten.

Someday I will learn Rust...

Great work Erik!

[fickle briar]

I'm still learning, if a Rust pro would see my code, I'm sure he'd laugh

[static portal]

hmm, really?
how much does it need to get to a professional level?

[fickle briar]

I don't know Rust is a very complicated language. You have to gain a lot of experience, that's why I did it here

Before you write anything, you first have to understand the basic Rust concepts like ownership and borrowing

What's the point of creating a texture_list in an addon? im curious

[fickle briar]

the world load faster

[fervent orchid]

oh, thats useful

[static portal]

first time I heard that

[mystic orbit]

this is very useful on addons with a bunch of textures

Question, does it have a CLI so I could open this with another program and pass the argument for the path? This would be fantastic for my workflow if it supported this.

[slim musk]

Indeed. I remember when the devs first told me about this file a long while back that it does have a decent performance increase for world load up.

[fickle briar]

I only tested It with widows terminal . Idk what cli mean

Test it

[slim musk]

Command Line Interface. I read your source. It doesn't have it. Had to read up on rust so I knew what I was looking ath.

[fickle briar]

Rust ist the best lang its a good think to be able to read and understand It 👍

I should Look to implement that

[fickle briar]

now i know what you mean . I can do It in the next week i ping you when im finish

[slim musk]

Thanks!

[fickle briar]

Sorry that it took so long. This is very simple and just panics if the path is not correct. It's performance maximized

@slim musk

if you have a idea for another simple tool let me know

[kindred plinth]

Has this ever been measured?

[fickle briar]

no. But with a texture pack of 1000 textures, it always says loading resource packs if texture list is not present

[kindred plinth]

I'd love to get a video comparison. I get skeptical of these rituals that everyone follows but nobody verifies

[fickle briar]

Bro every addon in the marketplace has that. why shouldn't you do that when it's so easy

It can't hurt

[warm marsh]

rust < c++

[fickle briar]

😵😵‍💫

I was told this awhile back by one of the Minecraft Developers, it saves loading time while building the internal atlas.
