link_resource(resource_path, shulker_root, instance_root, relative)
Create a symlink for the specified resource from an instance's space pointing to the tagged file / folder living inside a shulker box.
Parameters:

OSError

If a file or non-empty directory already exists where you're attempting to place the symlink |

- This method will overwrite existing symlinks and empty folders but will not overwrite or delete any actual files.

place_ender_chest(minecraft_root, keep_broken_links=False, keep_stale_links=False, error_handling='abort', relative=True, rollback=False)
Link all instance files and folders to all shulker boxes
Parameters:
Name | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
minecraft_root |
Path
|
The root directory that your minecraft stuff (or, at least, the one that's the parent of your EnderChest folder) |
required |
keep_broken_links |
bool
|
By default, this method will remove any broken links in your instances
and servers folders. To disable this behavior, pass in
|
False
|
keep_stale_links |
bool
|
By default, this method will remove any links into your EnderChest folder
that are no longer specified by any shulker box (such as because the
instance spec or shulker box configuration changed). To disable this
behavior, pass in |
False
|
error_handling |
str
|
By default, if a linking failure occurs, this method will terminate
immediately ( |
'abort'
|
relative |
bool
|
By default, links will use relative paths when possible. To use absolute
paths instead (see: https://bugs.mojang.com/projects/MC/issues/MC-263046),
pass in |
True
|
rollback |
bool
|
In the future in the event of linking errors passing in |
False
|
Returns:
Type | Description |
---|---|
dict
|
A record of the placed symlinks, structured as a nested dict:
|
Notes
- If one of the files or folders being placed is itself a symlink, relative
links will be created as nested links (a link pointing to the link),
whereas in "absolute" mode (
relative=False
), the link that will be placed will point directly to the final target - This can lead to the stale-link cleanup behavior not correctly removing an outdated symlink if the fully resolved target of a link falls outside the EnderChest folder
- The generated placement record reflects only the placements performed by this placement operation ("stale" links will never be included)
- The generated placements record will include broken links irrespective of
the
keep_broken_links
argument - If the placement is aborted (
error_handling="abort"
or "Abort" selected from prompt) then the returned placements will be empty
