Mod to add the #c:potions tag to items

[foggy hazel]

I've got a mod, can't remember off the top of my head which one, but it adds back in features from all the April Fools updates. One thing it adds is an item called the bottle of entity (minecraft:bottle_of_entity) for every mob in the game, including ones from mods. Drinking a bottle of zombie, for instance, transforms your model and texture into a zombie. There's also a splash variation of all of them. However, there is not a lingering version. I'm playing with another mod (big surprise there, right?) that adds new potion types so it's not just potion/splash/lingering, but it depends on the #c:potions inventory tag.

All the Trims by Bawnorton does something similar, adding #minecraft:trim_materials to literally all of the items, but I don't have enough experience with java code to understand how it works or use it as a starting point

tags are part of datapacks

you dont even need a mod to do that lol

oh, cool. Any good links on how to make a datapack? It's been years since I last touched one

[steep dirge]

here's a datapack with everything you need

unzip, go to data\c\tags\items and open potions.json

{
  "values": [
    "example:some_item"
  ]
}

values is just a list of item ids

so adding the bottle of entity would make the tag look like this:

{
  "values": [
    "example:some_item",
    "minecraft:bottle_of_entity"
  ]
}

(of course in the actual tag you'd remove example:some_item)

mod provides global datapacks, so that you don't need to install datapack for every save

[light hemlock]

openloader can do that too

[late sparrow]

that's a mod, too, so you still need a mod

[light hemlock]

yes, but you dont need anyone to make a mod
