Using Rendering API

import { Minecraft } from 'minecraft-render';
import fs from 'fs';

async function main() {
  const minecraft = Minecraft.open('./minecraft-version.1.17.1.jar');
  const blocks = await minecraft.getBlockList();

  for await (const block of minecraft.render(blocks)) {
    if (!block.buffer) {
      console.log(`${block.blockName} skipped due to ${block.skip}`);
      continue;
    }

    await fs.promises.writeFile(`./render/${block.blockName}.png`, block.buffer);
  }
}

Tests

Current test configuration is capable of downloading jar files from mojang servers and execute render sequence. You can trigger tests with;

npm test

Headless render and CI

If you are automating generation process on github or similar CI environments, make sure you configured display server. xvfb can be used for this purpose.

sudo apt-get install xvfb
