YAML Resources

by Yorick-06

YAML Resources lets Fabric games read and write YAML files for custom-registered resources, alongside the JSON format that Minecraft already uses.

FabricClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.0 – 1.21.4

What it does

Players and modders can place YAML files in the resource folders so that custom-registered resources load from that format. Simple Resources must be installed first, and it is a required dependency. The mod is published for Fabric only, across 91 release versions 1.0 – 1.21.4, with 2.0.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest file. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. It is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. YAML resource loading

    Custom-registered resources can be defined in YAML rather than only in JSON.

  2. Built on Simple Resources

    The mod depends on Simple Resources, which supplies the registration system it hooks into.

  3. Text parsing support

    YAML parsing is handled through jackson-dataformats-text, which the mod's addon builds on.
