This page summarizes Minecraft tags, which are a merged resource across data packs that allow different mods to apply behaviors to blocks, items, and alike. This page summarizes their definition, Forge extensions, common conventions, and how they are used in Tinkers’ Construct.

Tag Format

See also: Mantle Tags Command

The folder for tags varies based on the associated registry; tags typically exist under data/<domain>/tags/<registry name>/<name>.json, though material and modifier tags exist under data/<domain>/tinkering/tags/<materials|modifiers>/<name>.json.

Within the folder, tags have the following format:

  • (Object): Tag root object.
    • replace (Boolean): If true, this tag definition will replace all lower data packs. If false (default), this tag will merge with lower packs. Generally mods should not set replace to true, though modpacks may do so to reliably entries.
    • values (Array): List of entries to add to the tag.
      • (Registry ID): A registry entry to add to the tag.
      • (Tag Name): A tag entry to add to the tag. Must be prefixed by # or it will be interpreted as a registry entry.
      • (Object): An entry with additional options.
        • id (Resource Location): Either a registry entry, or a # prefixed tag name.
        • required (Boolean): If true (default), generates an error if the entry is missing. If false, the missing entry will be ignored; useful for optional compat.
    • values (Array): List of entries to remove from the tag. Will only remove entries directly defined in the tag values from another pack. For example, a registry ID entry will not remove a the ID if it was added via another tag.
      • (resource ID): A registry entry to remove from the tag.
      • (Tag Name): A tag entry to remove from the tag. Must be prefixed by # or it will be interpreted as a registry entry.
      • (Object): An entry with additional options.
        • id (Resource Location): Either a registry entry, or a # prefixed tag name.
        • required (Boolean): If true (default), generates an error if the entry is missing. If false, the missing entry will be ignored; useful for optional compat.

To reiterate, removing entries will only remove matching entries from the values of another data pack. To remove entries added via nested tags, take advantage of replace and the Mantle Tags Command.

Tag Name

Many JSON formats will make use of tag names as a way to reference a list of values from a registry. Tag names are a standard [resource location]{../resource-location) in most contexts, with the registry type inferred by context in the JSON. Some select contexts will prefix them with # to distinguish them from registry IDs, though in most cases the field name distinguishes registry entries from tags. For JSON tag fields, if the requested tag does not exist the behavior is the same as if the tag is empty.

By convention, mods should only use the minecraft domain for adding entries to vanilla tags. Up until 1.20.1, the forge domain is commonly used by mods for tagging common resources shared by mods. Since 1.20.2, the c domain is instead used for common tags.

Item Tags

See also: Mod Material Usage, listing common tag IDs.

Item tags are located under data/<domain>/tags/items/.

Material Tags

By convention, tag names for item tags (notably metals) often follow the format of <common>:<shape>/<material>, where <shape> is some resource shape and <material> references an ore or alloy in that shape. For instance, forge:ingots/iron contains iron in the shape of ingot under the 1.20.1 common standard. Many such shapes impose expectations on the items in the tag.

Some shapes of vanilla resources includes:

  • ingots/: Standard unit for most mod metals.
  • gems/: Represents any gem-like resources, such as diamond or quartz.
  • storage_blocks/: For metals, represents 9 ingots of the resource. For non-metals, it is less standard, sometimes representing 4 units.
  • nuggets/: Represents 1/9 of an ingot.
  • storage_blocks/: For metals, represents 9 ingots of the resource. For non-metals, it is less standard, sometimes representing 4 units.
  • ores/: represents an ore block. The value of the ore block is determined by its presence in one of the following common tags. The ore_rates/ tags do not have material variants, instead relying in intersections to determine ore values.
    • ore_rates/singular: Represents a standard ore block, like iron or diamond. Tinkers considers metal ore blocks in this tag to be worth 2 raw ore.
    • ore_rates/dense: Represents an ore block that drops many items, such as copper or redstone. Tinkers considers metal ore blocks in this tag to be worth 6 raw ore.
    • ore_rates/sparse: Represents an ore block dropping less than a standard unit, such as nether gold ore. Tinkers considers metal ore blocks in this tag to be worth 1 raw ore.
  • storage_blocks/raw_: storage block materials prefixed by raw_ represents a block of raw ore items, typically 9 of them.

Additionally, mods define many convention shape tags, such as:

  • dusts/: Represents 1 powdered unit of material, typically ingots. Often produced as a result of ore multiplication.
  • plates/: Represents 1 unit of a material pressed flat, typically metal.
  • gears/: Typically worth 4 ingots of the respective resource, though many gears also have some core with varying costs.
  • rods/: Represents 1/2 of a unit of the material. Best example is sticks (rods/wooden), though some mods use this for metal rods worth half an ingot.
