Hex casting decoder

From an original idea by object-Object that has since ... metastasized.

Setup

Download the correct hexdecode executable for your computer from the Releases page, as well as the latest pattern_registry_x-y-x.pickle file.
If you want to build your own pattern registry, also download the buildpatterns executable for your computer.
Download https://github.com/gamma-delta/HexMod/blob/main/Common/src/main/resources/assets/hexcasting/lang/en_us.json (or whatever your preferred language is).
Put all of the downloaded files in the same folder.

Put your hex on the stack and cast Reveal.
Open .minecraft/logs/latest.log, find the Reveal output, and copy it (should look like [HexPattern(NORTH_EAST qaq)]).
Open a terminal (eg. PowerShell) in the program folder and submit your hex as follows. Replace hexdecode with the name of the executable that you downloaded (eg. hexdecode-Windows-AMD64.exe), and pattern_registry.pickle with the name of the pattern registry file that you downloaded.

echo "paste your hex here" | hexdecode pattern_registry.pickle

If you'd like the fanciful names rather than the internal ones, do this instead:

echo "paste your hex here" | hexdecode pattern_registry.pickle en_us.json

echo "paste your hex here" | hexdecode pattern_registry.pickle en_us.json --highlight

Here's a useful thing if you're on a Mac. This takes the clipboard, decodes it, and puts the result back onto the clipboard for pasting:

pbpaste | hexdecode pattern_registry.pickle en_us.json | pbcopy

You can also run hexdecode without any input to get a "watch mode", where you can repeatedly paste hexes and press enter to decode them:

hexdecode pattern_registry.pickle en_us.json --highlight

Install Python. Windows users: download the installer and run it. Make sure you check the box that asks if you want to install pip.
Clone this repository; or click the green Code button, click Download ZIP, and unzip it.
Open a terminal in the repository folder and run this command to install the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

python buildpatterns.py pattern_registry.pickle *.java

Create and enter a venv, and install the requirements from requirements.txt. This prevents pyinstaller from adding unnecessary dependencies to the executable.
On each OS for which you want to package executables, run the corresponding release script (eg. release.ps1 for Windows). The resulting executables are placed in dist/.
Also create a pattern registry file named pattern_registry_x-y-x.pickle, where x-y-x is the corresponding Hex Casting version.
