About this Mod

Bow Tie

Did you ever get annoyed by not being able to write comments in your Minecraft JSON files?

Do you want whitespace to decide on your data nesting?

Did you ever want to write your recipes as lovely XML compared to JSON?

Then I got the right thing for you :)

This Minecraft Fabric mod uses the data API of Tweed 4.

You can use all data formats that Tweed supports to replace your JSON mess.
Supported are:

Examples

Example files formulated in alternate data formats can be found in the testmod.

How does it work?

Bow Tie tries to intercept all data loading and checks for supported files with the same name.
It then loads these files with the respective serializers and uses Tweed's API to convert them to JSON files.
These are then handed back to the game.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bow Tie server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.17.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Bow Tie compatible with fabric?

Bow Tie officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.17.1, 1.16.5. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Bow Tie – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Bow Tie consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
