Datapack Item Operations

by azagwen

Datapack Item Operations lets item operations be defined in datapacks, so pack authors can add new ones without writing Java.

FabricServer required, client optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.17

What it does

Item operations are described in data files rather than code, so a datapack can define them and the game reads them at load time. The author notes that a dp item ops folder inside the vanilla data folder allows more data types to be added to this system. The mod targets Fabric for 1.17 only, and the server needs it; players may add it but do not have to. Released under the MIT License and open source, the latest file is 1.0.1 for 1.17, dated 2021-06-24.

Key features

  1. Data-driven item operations

    Item operations are defined through datapacks instead of compiled code, so new ones can be shipped as data.

  2. Extra data types

    A dp item ops folder in the vanilla data folder lets additional data types be added to the system.

  3. Fabric build for 1.17

    The single published line targets 1.17 on Fabric, with 1.0.1 as the latest file.

Questions

Does the server need Datapack Item Operations?

Yes. The server must run it, while players may leave it out, so only the server side requires the mod.
