A wiki for the Minecraft mod MineColonies. Read it here!
We want to avoid having to change a bazillion occurences all over the wiki in case we ever need to rename a worker or a building, for that reason there are 2 tags ({% building %} and {% worker %}) which you can use to write the name of the building/worker directly based on the name defined in the data files.
You can use these by doing {% building %} (only directly in the building source page) OR {% building apiary %} (when referring to a building outside of the building page itself). This setup is identical for the worker (by using {% worker <key> %}).
We have a lot of links in the website referring to other documentation pages, a lot of them are still configured with a manually written name + path, for example: [Apiary](/source/buildings/apiary).
Going forwards we are using link templates, these are configured in the _plugins folder. These can refer to some commonly used link pages and can be expanded in the future aswell.
In order to write a building link you have to write: {% building_link apiary %} where the key of the building can be found in the _data/buildinginfo.yml (top most entries in the file, i.e. apiary).
These link templates will automatically generate the path to the building aswell as use the proper name defined the in _data/buildinginfo.yml.
In order to write a worker link you have to write: {% worker_link alchemist %} where the key of the worker can be found in the _data/workerinfo.yml (top most entries in the file, i.e. alchemist).
These link templates will automatically generate the path to the worker aswell as use the proper name defined the in _data/workerinfo.yml.
In order to write a research link you have to write: {% research tree="Civilian" name="Stamina" %} where the tree and name of the research have to match exactly the way they're written in the research page (this is so the path fragment is generated correctly).
The project can be ran locally to test if your changes work as expected. You need the following installed to be able to run it.
- Ruby
- Windows (recommended): https://rubyinstaller.org/ (this includes RubyGems and Bundler, make sure to get the Devkit installer to get native extensions)
- Other: https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/installation
- RubyGems: https://rubygems.org/pages/download
- Bundler: https://bundler.io/#getting-started
- Native extensions: https://www.msys2.org/
After cloning the project and having all the required tools installed you need to run:
bundle install
This will install all of the project dependencies defined in the Gemfile.
The project is served using Jekyll, this processes all of the files in the project and turns it into proper HTML before deploying it.
In order to serve the project locally you have to run:
cd pages
bundle exec jekyll serve
