INFO

Basic JSON knowledge is required

Default Components allows you to change the data components of any item in the game, vanilla and modded.
The mod works with datapacks and can be easily setup

If the mod is present on the client it will synchronize all the components and display the custom components on other mods and the creative inventory

Creating a datapack

To create the datapack you must head to you world folder, then to datapacks
There you create a folder with the name of your choice
Inside the folder create a pack.mcmeta file and a data folder

On pack.mcmeta put the following:

json

{
  "pack": {
    "description": "Custom default components",
    "pack_format": 61
  }
}

Feel free to customize the description content

Configuring

All items have a unique ID in the following format: namespace:path, for example minecraft:diamond
To visualize the identifier enable advanced tooltips with F3 + H, it will show in dark gray at the bottom of the item tooltip
Note both the namespace and the path separately

INFO

The namespace is the mod id of the item, for vanilla Minecraft it is minecraft
The path represents the item, but may not always match the item name, for example, Block of Diamond is diamond_block

Inside the data folder you will create a new folder with the name being the namespace of the item you want to change

Inside your namespace folder, create a new folder named default_components and navigate into it

Now create a file named <path>.json with <path> being the item's path
To modify the components of ALL items you must create a file named all.json in the minecraft namespace

Now, inside the JSON file, put the following content:

json

{
  "add": {},
  "remove": []
}

Inside add you will put the components to add/override, on the format "<component>": <value>
For remove you will use the format "<component>"

Both add and remove are optional

The list of all vanilla components and their structure can be found here

DANGER

Some components are required for items to function, and removing them may render them useless or even result in crashes

At the end it should look something like this:

json

{
  "add": {
    "minecraft:consumable": {},
    "minecraft:food": {
      "saturation": 1,
      "nutrition": 1
    }
  },
  "remove": [
    "minecraft:max_stack_size"
  ]
}

Now your datapack is ready for use!

To enable it run /datapack enable <datapack>
If you already have the datapack enabled simply run /reload to update the components

Players with the mod will have their items updated immediately, vanilla players may need to open a chest or move items around for the changes to show for their clients
