Dynamic Registries

The table below lists the mod's 42 datapack registries. In the field tables, "Default" is the value used when a field is omitted, and "Required" means loading fails without it.

Recipes are not in this table. The recipe pages that go through the vanilla RecipeManager sit in the Recipes group below: alchemy recipes (mxt:alchemy), spirit crafting (mxt:spirit_shaped / mxt:spirit_shapeless) and talisman drawing (mxt:talisman_drawing). Their JSON goes in data/<namespace>/recipe/, never in mxt/<recipe name>/; they are not registries either, so /reload reloads them. File location, and how to sort JSON into subdirectories by category, is on the Datapack Development Overview.

Refilling a brush is not a recipe. It is the vanilla bundle's click: with the brush on the cursor, click a stack of pigment, see mxt:talisman_drawing.

trigger	mxt/trigger	Event rules: a signal, a condition and an action.
talisman	mxt/talisman	Talisman definitions: the ability one inscribed talisman carries.

incomplete	mxt/incomplete	Marks an item as unfinished: the client draws a warning badge on its slot.

Seven of these — item_aura, currency, default_quality, item_binding, weapon_binding, tool_binding and blueprint_binding — claim items (currency through item, the other six through items), while block_aura and heat_source claim blocks through blocks; their shape is that of every other registry, and the file layout is on the Datapack Development Overview.

Built-in Type Dispatch

Plenty of fields pick one entry out of a built-in registry on type: the top level of an ability, how a curse persists, the four action families, the five condition families, a resource bar's value source and renderer, a tribulation beat, ability state, and so on. The full list, the entry page of every family and each family's own default are on the Type Reference — type tables live on those pages only.

Action and condition arrays are shorthand for running everything in order:

"entity_action": [
  {"type": "mxt:heal", "amount": 2},
  {"type": "mxt:apply_curse", "curse": "example:burning", "stacks": 1}
]

A datapack cannot add a new type to a built-in registry; it can only pick from the registered ones. mxt:js is the only one of them that hands behaviour to a script; its mxt:js fields and register methods are on the Type Reference.
