WhatsUp

Quilt version requires: QSL and GroovyDuvet

Forge version requires: GML

WhatsUp is a tool for datapacks that allows servers to query a provided web endpoint at a given frequency, and execute functions (the normal .mcfunction type) based on the results returned by that endpoint.

WhatsUp defines both listeners and predicates. listeners are defined at data/[namespace]/whatsup/listeners/[name].json, and take the following structure:

• endpoint - The URL to be queried by the listener
• frequency - An integer representing how many seconds should pass between queries of the endpoint
• actions - A list of actions to do based on the returned result of the endpoint. Each takes the following form:
  • predicate - The resource location of a predicate to check against the endpoint's result
  • function - The resource location of a function to execute if the predicate passes
  • levels - (Optional; defaults to ["overworld"]) A list of dimensions to run the provided function in
  • then - (Optional) a list of locations of other listeners to chain after this listener
  • storage - (Optional) a map of property names to resource locations specifying command data storage that the predicate has access to

Predicates are stored at data/[namespace]/whatsup/predicates/[name].groovy, and are groovy scripts. The groovy environment the predicates run in has access to the context variable, which has the following properties:

• text - The unprocessed response text
• json - The a Map of the response parsed as JSON, or null if the response is not a JSON object
• storage - Contains a property for every command data storage specified in the action; data storages can be queried and mutated.

This context object is also available as the delegate of the script, so a leading context. to access these properties is optional.

An example datapack can be found on the GitHub releases.

The mod also provides the /whatsup command for easily testing datapacks; this can be used to run any listener immediately.
