Love this - some questions

[Rohmad96]

Hello Lucas Dower. I absolutely love what you've made here. I cannot express how awesome ObjToSchematic is for me. I am a hobbyist 3D modeller and building giant sculptures in MC is one of the few joys I get out of the game. This is by far the best tool I've come across for this very specific niche use case in Minecraft (an older one being OBJ2MC).

I see no other way to contact you here, but I do notice that you are actively working on this almost every day. I have some questions if you don't mind me asking (keeping in mind I'm extremely new to git and a noob programmer at best). I managed to clone and compile the latest version of ObjToSchematic, but:

• I see that cobbled deepslate (among many other blocks) are in the resource files (e.g. blocks.json) but not in the list of supported blocks yet. May I know why this is or when these new blocks will be supported?

• For some reason, the new palette script does not seem to be able to find the new palette blocks file in its default location (tools/new-palette-blocks.txt). Having copy/pasted this file into the location of the script itself (ObjToSchematic\dist\tools) seemed to work though

Finally, is there any way I can reach out to you via Discord or something else? This is entirely up to you of course. I don't know how else to express my gratitude for you having made and continuing to work on this tool.

Update: My ugly short-term workaround was editing the vanilla atlas file, copying the cobblestone data and renaming it to cobbled_deepslate where necessary.

Hello 👋 ! I'm so glad this tool is useful for you. I'm the same, I like modelling things and building in Minecraft so I thought why not put them together.

• "May I know why this is or when these new blocks will be supported?"
  This is simply because I haven't updated the vanilla atlas, vanilla palette, and all-supported-blocks.txt files. If you run npm run atlas and choose 'Vanilla', it'll grab every block from the latest installed version of Minecraft. You'll have to save this palette as something new such as 'new-vanilla'. If you then create a new palette with the names of any new blocks (e.g. cobbled_deepslate) inside of new-palette-blocks.txt, it should recognise them (even though they aren't mentioned in all-supported-blocks.txt yet, all-supported-blocks.txt is purely visual and isn't used at all).

• "For some reason, the new palette script does not seem to be able to find the new palette blocks file in its default location"
  Whoopsies, that's a bug. Thanks for letting me know. This is due to a commit I made a couple of days ago and affects the atlas script too.

• "is there any way I can reach out to you via Discord"
  Feel free to add me on Discord if you have any issues or need help with Git, my username is SinJi#4165.

• "I don't know how else to express my gratitude for you having made and continuing to work on this tool."
  Thanks, that's so kind of you. It's mainly been a fun side project I've been working on. Now that people are actually using it I need to spend a bit more time writing tests... but that's boring 😄 .

I've just updated the vanilla atlas, palette, and all-supported-blocks.txt and fixed the scripts, the changes have been pushed to the /dev/ branch so to check it out you need to run git checkout dev. I'll merge the changes into the main branch once I've properly my recent changes tested everything. 👍

Thank you so much!
