This mod will allow you to export the "superficial" definitions and media for selected items. This includes visuals, sounds, and basic physical properties (solid/liquid/gas, climbable, lighting) but none of the callbacks or other gameplay behavior. This makes them ideal for use as "inert" decorative nodes in "adventure" gameplay modes where most of the scenery is non-interactable.
The hope is that this mod will allow experienced creative-mode builders to use familiar tools to build scenery, backgrounds, maps and levels, and then export those things for use in games. Formats like schematics, worldedit or modgen provide the "geometry" aspect of map export; this mod can be used to get the "material" aspect.
## Usage
Add the mod to a game that has all the things loaded that you want to export, instruct the mod which items to export (using chat commands), and it will dump the start of a mod that can be used to import item registrations into your game.
