Overriding Recipes

All recipes can be overridden or removed via a datapack, without modifying the mod itself. This is useful for modpacks or custom servers.

Datapack structure:

my_datapack/
├── pack.mcmeta
└── data/
    └── armoroftheages/
        └── recipes/
            └── <recipe_name>.json

pack.mcmeta (required at the root of the datapack):

{
    "pack": {
        "pack_format": 15,
        "description": "My custom AotA recipes"
    }
}

pack_format: 15 is the correct value for Minecraft 1.20.1.

Installation: place the datapack folder (or its .zip) in:

  • Single-player: .minecraft/saves/<world_name>/datapacks/
  • Server: <server_root>/world/datapacks/

Then run /reload in-game or restart the server.


Override a recipe by placing a custom .json file at the matching path. The full list of recipe files is available on GitHub:

Remove a recipe by overriding the file with an empty JSON object:

{}

Minecraft will fail to parse the file, log a warning, and silently skip the recipe. The game loads normally, this is not a crash.
