Adding roms / items

You can either add cartridge items using filament or just use the blockboy:rom component to give yourself an item that can play a given rom file: /give @s paper[blockboy:rom="namespace:game.gb"]

Put the roms in data/<namespace>/blockboy/<rom>.gb and data/<namespace>/blockboy/<rom>.gbc Make sure the rom file names are lowercase and only contain letters from a to z, 0-9 and/or underscores.

To add your own arcade model item + block use the filament mod and the blockboy:arcade behaviour for decorations.
