Modifier Icons

Modifier icons is a JSON file added in 1.18.2 used to assign icons to modifiers. The primary use of the icon is modifier display in JEI.

Any modifier which lacks an icon will be rendered using a default book icon, which is tinted based on the modifiers text color.

Icon Format

Icons are defined in resource packs assets/<domain>/tinkering/modifier_icons.json. The domain <domain> has no impact on the behavior of the JSON, it is simply used to allow multiple mods to define a color list without conflicting (as before 1.19.4 Forge did not allow multiple mods to define a resource at the same location in resource packs).

The modifier icons JSON has the following format:

• (Object): Modifier icons object.
  • <modifier> (Resource Location): Assigns the modifier with ID <modifier> to the given texture.
  • <modifier> (Array): Assigns the modifier with ID <modifier> to the given list of textures. They will all be rendered in order, useful for reusing parts of an icon.
    • (Resource Location): A single texture for <modifier>.

All modifier textures are relative to assets/<domain>/textures/ and should not contain the .png extension.
