Patched

by EnderTurret

Patched lets data and resource packs change individual parts of JSON files, such as biomes, loot tables and models, instead of replacing those files outright.

What it does

Patched lets a pack add patch files next to a JSON file it wants to change. A patch can remove or add world generation features in a biome, add or remove advancement criteria, edit loot tables, modify recipes, or target every file matching a pattern. Changes can be conditional on other loaded mods or on configuration options, so one pack can adapt to the mods installed beside it.

Patched is meant to reduce conflicts between packs and between mods that touch the same file, because each patch edits only the part it names. Changes stay in place when Minecraft updates unrelated parts of a file. The mod also includes commands such as patchedc list and patchedc dump, which show the packs and patches in use and the contents of a patched file with comments marking each change. Patches are read only from packs that opt in through their pack.mcmeta, which keeps load time down in large modpacks.

The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v2.1 only and is open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 27 release versions, 1.18.2 – 26.2, and it runs on the client, the server, or both. It requires Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL), and Fabric API is optional.

Key features

  1. Partial JSON patching

    Packs edit selected entries in a JSON file rather than shipping a full copy that overwrites the original.

  2. Conditional patches

    A patch can apply only when chosen mods are loaded or when a configuration option is set.

  3. Pattern-based edits

    One patch can target every file matching a path pattern, for example all biomes.

  4. Inspection commands

    Commands list the active packs and patches and dump a patched file with its changes marked by comments.

Questions

Does Patched need Fabric API?

No. Fabric API is optional. The required dependency is Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL).

Do both the server and players need Patched?

No. Either side can run it, and neither needs it, so installing it on one side is enough.

Which loaders and versions does Patched support?

Patched is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The latest Forge file targets 1.20.2 and the latest Quilt file targets 1.20.1, while Fabric and NeoForge files cover 26.2.
