CRAFTLE!

CRAFTLE ~ A Wordle-inspired MC Mini-Game

This is a mini-game about Minecraft crafting recipes, similar to Wordle.

It features:

• Wordle-like rules
• Competitive elements between two teams
• A plug-and-play vanilla datapack experience

Installation & How to Play

It is recommended to play this datapack using version 1.21.11.

All you need to do is:

1. Create a new world.
2. Open the save folder and locate the newly created world.
3. Place the craftle-datapack into the world’s datapacks folder.
4. Return to the game and type /reload (requires cheats enabled) or exit and re-enter the world.
5. Install the provided resource pack (in 3.0.0 later, you must install it).
6. A game selection menu should automatically pop up in your chat bar. Press T to open the chat and click with your mouse.

Rules

Compared to Wordle’s format of small characters and a large dictionary, Minecraft crafting recipes undoubtedly have more elements but fewer total recipes.
Therefore, we have modified the game rules, which also reduced our workload in writing the datapack a bit.
~It’s not because we’re lazy~

The following are rules similar to Wordle:

• If a submitted item exists in the selected recipe and is in the correct position, it will output a green square.
• If a submitted item exists in the selected recipe but is in the wrong position, it will output a yellow square.
• If a submitted item does not exist in the selected recipe, it will output a red square.

The following are rules different from Wordle:

• A yellow square only indicates that the item exists and is in the wrong position; it does not indicate the quantity of that item.
• This game does not restrict player submissions; players can submit non-recipe items, but the answer will always be a valid crafting recipe.
• There is no limit on the number of submission attempts, but the same team shares a cooldown—currently two minutes.
• All players collect items in Survival mode and make guesses. The first team to guess the correct recipe wins.

Technical Details

• This datapack was written for version 1.21.11 and should support 1.21.X versions (this_hacker tells you it might not, because we added some very new recipes hehe).
• This datapack uses function macros for judgment ~the code is very janky, so it’s not recommended for reference~.
• It includes an answer list storage. You can add new crafting recipes (or just random items, even items from other mods!) according to your needs. The datapack should handle these data normally.
• It features a pseudo-random list to prevent experiencing the same recipe repeatedly.
