Tags

Every new block, damage type, item and recipe tag added by Vanilla Squared.

Vanilla Squared adds new tags to make its features data-pack compatible. This page only lists new tags added by the mod. Vanilla tags which the mod changes, such as minecraft:axes or minecraft:sulfur_cube_food, are not included.

Editing tags

Use the same namespace and path when adding values to one of these tags. For example, this adds a custom block to the Channeling pass-through list:

data/vsq/tags/block/channeling.json

{
  "replace": false,
  "values": [
    "example:channeling_pass_through_block"
  ]
}

Keep replace set to false when adding values. Setting it to true removes values from lower-priority data packs and can remove Vanilla Squareds defaults.
