String Utilities Mod

This modification significantly expands the capabilities for working with NBT data strings in Minecraft, providing a comprehensive set of tools for processing textual information.

Core Command Syntax

/string <method> [target] [source...]

The target and source parameters function similarly to the syntax of the data modify command, making the mod intuitive for experienced users.

Usage Examples

• Empty string check: /string isEmpty value "" returns 1
• Non-existent element search: /string indexOf value "asdfghjkl" value "qwerty" returns -1
• Special character escaping: /string escape storage a:b c value '\'quote"slash\' writes 'quote\"slash\ to the specified storage location
• Space removal: /string strip storage foo:bar baz value " a 123 " stores a 123 in the designated location
• Identifier concatenation: /string concat2 storage a b from entity @s SelectedItem.id from entity @s Inventory[0].id
• UUID formation: /string join storage test playerUUID from value "~" from @s UUID

Available String Processing Methods

Validation Operations

isBlank - checks if a string contains only whitespace characters isEmpty - determines if a string is completely empty length - returns the length of the string in characters

Core Transformations

toString - converts any NBT element to string format escape - escapes special characters in strings trim, trimStart, trimEnd - removes whitespace from both sides, only left, or only right strip, stripLeading, stripTrailing - alternative methods for whitespace removal

Case and Encoding

toLowerCase, toUpperCase - converts string to lowercase or uppercase toCharArray - splits string into individual characters as a list toCodePoints, fromCodePoints - Unicode character operations toCodePointStrings - breaks string into Unicode characters

String Operations

concat, concat2 - merging multiple strings into one repeat - repeating a string a specified number of times substring, substring2 - extracting substrings by indices split - splitting string into parts by specified separator

Search and Replace

indexOf, lastIndexOf - finding substring position startsWith, endsWith - checking string start and end contains - determining substring presence matches, matchesAll, matchesAllFully - regular expression searches replace, replaceAll, replaceFirst - text replacement in strings

Additional Functions

at - getting character at specified index join - joining list elements into string with delimiter escapeNbt, escapeRegex - specialized escaping methods

Many methods automatically convert any NBT data types to string format before performing operations, making them versatile in usage.
