Iridium Exporter
Iridium Exporter is a Utility mod that collects item data and item images from the game and writes them to files for use with the Iridium editor.
What it does
The mod runs a data collection pass over items and saves the results as an itemdata.txt file and a set of item images. A single command, iridium exporter, takes one of three parameters to choose what is generated, and every output is placed in a folder named exporteddata inside the Minecraft directory. Each run only produces these files, so nothing in the game world is changed.
Its purpose is to supply the Iridium beta visual editor, a recipe tool for building and editing crafting recipes by dragging items into place. Exported item data and images let that editor show the items a player is working with. Iridium itself is not part of this mod, so the exporter has to be used alongside it.
Iridium Exporter is client-side only, so either a Fabric or a Forge client can run it without the server side having the mod. It is published for Fabric and Forge across five game versions, 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, and it requires Architectury API. The code is open source under the Apache License 2.0, and the source code and issue tracker are linked publicly.
