With Json (OVO)
by AmarokIce
With Json (OVO) lets a modpack author create items, foods, blocks, tools, weapons, armor, recipes, creative tabs and trees by writing JSON files instead of Java code.
What it does
Content is described in JSON data, so the author works without writing Java. The intended feel is close to writing JSON for a data package: new items, foods, blocks, tools and weapons are defined in files, and existing recipes can be added or removed the same way. Some new creative tabs can be created, and vanilla tabs can be reused for placing the new content.
The mod also covers armor and tool metadata, with plans for events, enchantments and potions that can be defined from JSON as well. A custom tree can be placed into the world. Because the content is data, it can be shipped as a jar that players run without a separate build step. The author notes that content from the older Json Things mod cannot be loaded through this mod. Fabric API is the usual data package support, and Fabric Language Kotlin and Pineapple Psychic are required. The mod runs on client and server, and is published for Fabric and Forge across seven game versions, 1.7.10 – 1.16.5, under a custom license that is not open source.
