MoreTags
by scarcekoi
MoreTags extends Minecraft's item and block tag system, adding more tags for amethyst, chorus, coral and other blocks, plus tags for deepslate ores.
What it does
The mod adds new tags to the game's data system, so datapacks and other mods can refer to groups of blocks and items that vanilla does not group. Several families of blocks receive tags here, which lets a datapack target a whole group in one rule instead of listing each block by hand.
Because the tags are part of the data, they take effect on a server without any client-side change. Installing MoreTags on Fabric requires nothing else, and the mod is server-side only, so players can join a server that runs it without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric, across 7 release versions, 1.20 – 1.20.6, under the MIT License; the source code is open and public.
The current latest file is 1.0.2 for 1.20.6, published 2024-09-08, after the first release on 2024-09-07. Public source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project.
Key features
Amethyst tags
Amethyst blocks and amethyst shards are grouped under tags that datapacks can reference together.
Dripleaf and chorus tags
Big dripleaf and chorus blocks receive their own tags, making them easier to target in recipes and world logic.
Coral fan tags
Coral fans join a tag so that a datapack can treat the whole family as one set of blocks.
Deepslate ore tags
Deepslate ores are grouped into tags, giving datapacks a single reference for the variants.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Datapack authors
A datapack can refer to a tag once in a recipe or loot rule instead of naming each block separately.
Server owners
A server running custom progression can use the new tags while players join with an unmodified client.
Who it’s for: Datapack authors and server owners who want to write rules against groups of blocks and items that vanilla does not tag. Players who only play on a server need nothing installed.
How it compares
Better Small Dripleaf is a Fabric mod with files for 1.17 – 1.18.2, server-side only and open source under the MIT License, so it targets an older range than MoreTags. Amethyst Sword is client and server, open source is not claimed, and it spans Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4.
