How can I extract a list of Minecraft items and recipes?
- by Sean
I'm designing a robust system for resolving item dependencies in Minecraft and to do so, I need to maintain a database of items and recipes. Right now, this database has to be hand-crafted (no pun intended); I would like to know if it is possible to somehow query the Minecraft jars (or perhaps more realistically, grep through them) to extract this data automatically.
How can this be done? The project is currently in Python, but it can still be ported to Java without much fuss at this stage. (For the curious.)
