Pre-requisites to build the add-on

Install Node

Building the add-on

From a command prompt/terminal browse to the repository and run:

1. npm install
2. npm run mcaddon

The add-on should be generated as dist/packages/tpwand.mcaddon

Note: On Windows, you might need to run the following command under PowerShell in the repository directory before the NPM steps: Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

Developer convenience

The infrastructure to build/deploy this add-on was taken from Microsoft's minecraft-scripting-samples and so the instructions for it may be used here as well.

Specifically you can also run the following command to on Windows to have the add-on build and deliver to your Minecraft client: npm run local-deploy

This is a better option than creating and installing the mcaddon file directly if you plan to be developing with it as it will update the add-on. If you're going to do this and have already installed the add-on using the mcaddon file then you may want to remove that from your Minecraft client first before using the local deploy.
