Better than Datapacks

Better Than Datapacks is a data-driven system for creating custom blocks and items in Better Than Adventure, no coding required.

Everything is defined with .atom (TOML) files, packaged in a .zip, and loads straight into the game.

How it works

• Each block or item is a data/*.atom
• All Atoms live inside a .zip
• Datapack-like structure

my_atoms.zip
├─ data/*.atom
└─ assets/namespace/textures/...

Textures

Textures use the same vanilla-compatible system as BTA texturepacks:

assets/<namespace>/textures/...

Fully compatible with the current version of the game. Texturepacks can override Atom textures without hacks.

Current state (WIP) (Upcoming update 2.0.0)

✔ Normal blocks ✔ Items ✔ Vanilla-style block models ✔ .zip loading :construction: Sounds support :construction: Recipes (like vanilla works but with toml) :test_tube: External app for creating Atoms :question: Tiny Atom Store (idea) :question: Biome Generation | World Generation

(Support for loose .atom files will return in the future)

Perfect for mapmakers, artists, and anyone who wants custom content without coding.
