I'm open to solutions in both Python and Java; I haven't truly decided on which language to do this in yet.

I'm writing a CLI application which reduces Minecraft items to a list of their raw materials (and more importantly, how many would be required, but that's beside the point). To do this, I need to either extract or create and maintain a database of all items and recipes. If extraction is possible, the database will be saved into McRaw's native format (CSV, duh).

Manually doing the following for each entity (here, a craftable item with ID=123 and a decently simple recipe) in the game

mcraw   item add    123 --name "Test Craftable Block"
mcraw recipe add  1 123  2 321  1 231  2 213

would take / is going to take forever, but the editing capability is well worth the writing of the interface itself.

It would be much faster to be able to extract the information from Minecraft itself. I ask first

  • if this is possible, and
  • how could it be done

You will probably find luck checking in the de-obfuscated minecraft source code. You can use the (unofficial) Minecraft Coder Pack to generate the files you need. There should be a couple of classes and enums that you can get (or write a script to extract) the information you need.

Sorry I can't be more specific. I don't have the source on-hand.
