Publishing

Campaigns are published on Modrinth as resource packs.

Modrinth’s rules apply

Every campaign must follow Modrinth’s Content Rules and Terms of Use. Being made for BlockFront doesn’t exempt a campaign from them, and it’s your responsibility to read them before you publish.

In particular:

• You must have the rights to everything in your pack, including maps, models, textures and sounds.
• You can’t reupload someone else’s work without their permission.
• Your project page must describe your campaign clearly and honestly.

Modrinth can remove a project that breaks its rules.

Before you publish

• Set version in pack.json.
• Set minModVersion if you rely on a recent BlockFront feature.

Create your Modrinth project

Create a new resource pack project on Modrinth. You don’t need to upload anything yet. Include “BlockFront Campaign” in the name or description, as the in-game Browse Campaigns button searches for those words.

Link your project

Copy your project’s id or slug into modrinthProject in pack.json. Your campaign’s card then gets a Modrinth Page button, so players can reach your page from inside the game.

This step is optional, but do it before you make the zip. Adding it later means uploading a new version.

Make the zip

Zip the contents of your pack folder, so pack.json and pack.mcmeta sit at the root of the zip. Leave out session files such as session.lock, along with playerdata, stats and advancements in your world.

Play it through from the zip before you upload it, since that’s what players will run.

Upload your campaign

1. Upload your zip to your project as a version for Minecraft 1.21.1.
2. Add a required dependency on BlockFront.
3. Submit your project for review.

What players see

The first time a player starts a community campaign, the game warns them that it isn’t official. The game doesn’t check for updates to community campaigns, so players download new versions from your Modrinth page.
