Cookbook

Complete, working files you can read top to bottom.

Configuring the build

Complete reference for all beet.yml configuration options including StewBeet-specific settings

Using datapack libraries

Declare library dependencies and auto-generate runtime version checks

Generating the in-game manual

Generate an extensible, dialog-first in-game manual with custom pages, hooks, and button layouts

Shipping releases automatically

Publish releases to GitHub, Modrinth, Smithed, and PlanetMinecraft in one command

Reference

Look-up material: APIs, options and generated output.

Helper function reference

Every helper StewBeet adds for writing files, and what each one takes.
