JSON User Interface Scripting
JsonUI Scripting is a NodeJS library used to build a JsonUI resource pack for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. With this library, you can modify the user interface and how certain user interfaces function for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, similar to JsonUI!
Installation
To install the required dependencies, run the following command in your project directory:
Batch
npm install jsonui-scriptingThis will add jsonui-scripting to your project's package.json file and download the package into your node_modules directory.
How to use
The syntax is very simple, I can provide an example using code snippets displaying 'Hello World!' text on the Start Screen as follows:
JavaScript
// Import the JsonUIElement and Modify classes from JsonUI Scripting.
const { JsonUIElement, Modify } = require('jsonui-scripting');
// Create an image element to be used as the background for the text
const textBackground = JsonUIElement.image({
texture: 'textures/ui/Black',
size: "100%cm + 2px",
layer: 10,
alpha: 0.8
});
// Create a text element with the content "Hello World!"
const text = JsonUIElement.label({
text: "Hello World!"
});
// Add the text element to the image background
textBackground.addElement(text);
// Insert the image background (with the text element) into the start screen's content controls
Modify.StartScreen('start_screen_content').modifications.controls.insertFront(textBackground);
And the code snippet you will receive in JsonUI format will be as follows after you run javascript code:
JSON
{
"namespace": "app",
"app-js:5:38": {
"type": "image",
"texture": "textures/ui/Black",
"size": [ "100%cm + 2px", "100%cm + 2px" ],
"layer": 10,
"alpha": 0.8,
"controls": [ { "d8202554472234d22b5c841fe@app.app-js:13:28": {} } ]
},
"app-js:13:28": {
"type": "label",
"text": "Hello World!"
}
}JSON
{
"start_screen_content": {
"modifications": [
{
"array_name": "controls",
"operation": "insert_front",
"value": [ { "a9e0fe62cac2194d5b9a4a297@app.app-js:5:38": {} } ]
}
]
}
}And here is what you will get when you install the resource pack you just finished building.
