Datapack Usage Tutorial

You can download a sample datapack here.

1. Create Datapack Structure

Create the following folder structure:

my_tmm_config_datapack/
├── pack.mcmeta
└── data/
    └── trainmurdermystery/
        └── tmm_areas/
            └── custom_areas.json

2. Create Metadata File

Modification Instructions

Add to pack.mcmeta file:

{
  "pack": {
    "pack_format": 15,
    "description": "My TMM Custom Configuration"
  }
}

This mod enables customization of Train Murder Mystery game areas through datapacks. Users can modify the game areas by creating a datapack with custom configuration files.

3. Configure Game Areas

The extension will automatically load and apply any valid configuration found in datapacks under the path: data/trainmurdermystery/tmm_areas/custom_areas.json.

Configure in custom_areas.json file:

{
  "spawn_pos": {
    "pos": [-872.5, 0.0, -323.0],  // Player spawn position coordinates and orientation
    "yaw": 90.0,                     // Horizontal facing (-90=east, 0=south, 90=west, 180=north)
    "pitch": 0.0                      // Vertical facing (-90=looking up, 0=horizontal, 90=looking down)
  },
  "spectator_spawn_pos": {
    "pos": [-68.0, 133.0, -535.5],   // Spectator spawn position coordinates
    "yaw": -90.0,                     // Spectator horizontal facing
    "pitch": 15.0                     // Spectator vertical facing
  },
  "ready_area": {
    // Ready area where players must be to count as ready
    "minX": -1017.0,                  // Minimum X coordinate of the area
    "minY": -1.0,                     // Minimum Y coordinate of the area
    "minZ": -363.5,                   // Minimum Z coordinate of the area
    "maxX": -813.0,                   // Maximum X coordinate of the area
    "maxY": 3.0,                      // Maximum Y coordinate of the area
    "maxZ": -357.5                    // Maximum Z coordinate of the area
  },
  "play_area_offset": {
    // Coordinate offset when players are teleported from ready area to play area
    "x": 963.0,                       // X-axis offset
    "y": 121.0,                       // Y-axis offset
    "z": -175.0                       // Z-axis offset
  },
  "play_area": {
    // Game area where players are bound, going outside or falling will result in death
    "minX": -140.0,
    "minY": 118.0,
    "minZ": -550.5,
    "maxX": 230.0,
    "maxY": 200.0,
    "maxZ": -520.5
  },
  "reset_template_area": {
    // Area where the map reset base template is located
    "minX": -57.0,
    "minY": 64.0,
    "minZ": -531.0,
    "maxX": 177.0,
    "maxY": 74.0,
    "maxZ": -541.0
  },
  "reset_paste_area": {
    // Area where the template should be pasted during map reset
    "minX": -57.0,
    "minY": 119.0,
    "minZ": -531.0,
    "maxX": 177.0,
    "maxY": 129.0,
    "maxZ": -541.0
  }
}

Configuration values will override the default values from the original mod. If no custom configuration is found, the mod will use the original default values.
