Mod Setup In order to modify weight values, you must create a datapack to override or add your own mod's weight values. The datapack should be dropped in the world's datapacks folder.

Datapack Example:

-DataPackName
|-pack.mcmeta
|-data
 |-encumbered
  |-data_maps
   |-item
    |-item_weights.json

item_weights.json should be in the format:

{
  "values": {
    "minecraft:stone": {
      "replace": true,
      "value": {
        "weight": 12.0
      }
    },
    "modid:item": {
      "replace": true,
      "value": {
        "weight": 1.0
      }
    },
    "#minecraft:logs": {
      "replace": true,
      "value": {
        "weight": 10.0
      }
    }
}

The pack.mcmeta file should look like this:

{
    "pack": {
        "pack_format": 34,
        "description": "Pack Description Here"
    }
}

Configs


Config/encumbered-client.toml:

  • Contains configs that are independent of the server. Each player can modify these values at will on their client
  • Config/encumbered-server.toml: Contains configs that are consistent across all players. Anything changed here will change for all players.
