About this Mod
Simply Tents Blacklist
A simple blacklist addon for Simply Tents mod
Overview
Simply Tents Blacklist is a lightweight addon mod for Simply Tents that allows server administrators and players to configure which blocks, items, and entities should not be picked up by tents. This provides fine-grained control over tent behavior, preventing valuable or restricted content from being moved.
Features
- Block Blacklist - Prevent specific blocks from being picked up by tents (supports block registry names)
- Item Blacklist - Prevent entities or block entities containing specific items from being picked up
- Tag Support - Use block tags and item tags for flexible, category-based blacklisting
- Recursive Item Detection - Deep scans entity and block entity NBT data to detect blacklisted items
- Server-Side Config - All settings are configurable via server config file
Configuration
The mod generates a config file at config/simplytentsblacklist-common.toml:
[blacklist]
# List of block registry names that should not be picked up by tents.
# Format: modid:block_name (e.g., "minecraft:chest", "minecraft:diamond_block")
blacklistBlocks = []
# List of item registry names that should prevent entities/block entities from being picked up.
# If an entity or block entity contains any of these items, it will not be picked up.
# Format: modid:item_name (e.g., "minecraft:diamond", "minecraft:emerald")
blacklistItems = []
# List of block tag names that should not be picked up by tents.
# Format: #modid:tag_name (e.g., "#minecraft:logs", "#forge:ores")
blacklistBlockTags = []
# List of item tag names that should prevent entities/block entities from being picked up.
# If an entity or block entity contains any items with these tags, it will not be picked up.
# Format: #modid:tag_name (e.g., "#minecraft:logs", "#forge:gems")
blacklistItemTags = []
Example Configuration
[blacklist]
blacklistBlocks = ["minecraft:chest", "minecraft:ender_chest", "minecraft:spawner"]
blacklistItems = ["minecraft:diamond", "minecraft:netherite_ingot"]
blacklistBlockTags = ["#minecraft:doors", "#forge:ores"]
blacklistItemTags = ["#forge:gems", "#forge:ingots/gold"]
How It Works
When a player attempts to pick up an area with a tent:
- Block Check - If the block is in the block blacklist or matches a blacklisted block tag, it remains in the world
- Item Check - If an entity or block entity contains any blacklisted items (or items matching blacklisted tags), it remains in the world
- Safe Pickup - Only non-blacklisted blocks and entities are packed into the tent
