How to Create Content ‐ Basics

Creating a Content File

Definition files are written in the JSON format
Definitions go in the folder resources/data/<your_content_pack_modid>/<content_type>/

Content Types

• Creating Content - Guns

Shared Elements

ItemSettings

Any Definition that may have an item associated with it will have one of these somewhere in its Definition.

• maxStackSize: How many items of this type can go in a stack? Some types, like guns or vehicles are limited to 1 no matter what.
• tags: An array of tag IDs. Note: This does not actually apply the tags in-game. If you are using the Content Tool to export your pack, this tag array will be used to construct the tag .jsons for Minecraft to read. (See: Page TODO)

    "itemSettings": {
        "maxStackSize": 1,
        "tags": [
            "flansmod:gun",
            "flansvendersgame:hm_craftable"
        ]
    }

Paintjobs

Some types are paintable. If so, they will have the option to setup different paintjobs here. This is a JSON object, containing a JSON array.

• textureName: The key to lookup for the item icon and/or 3D model skin. These can be setup in the TurboRig (Link: TODO)
• paintBucketsRequired: An optional way of setting a cost for painting in survival. The base mod adds Rainbow Paintcans to loot tables, which are the requirement for this cost.
• entitlementKey: Not yet functional, but may be used to allow pack creators to set up Patreon exclusives.
