Item Tags

Item Tags — Allow Items to Attack Blocks

Animal Pen adds three item tags that control which items can attack blocks.

Tag	Description
animal_pen:can_attack_aquarium	Items that can attack Aquarium
animal_pen:can_attack_pen	Items that can attack Animal Pen
animal_pen:can_attack_aviary	Items that can attack Aviary

Items inside these tags will work like weapons for the block.

Example — Adding Custom Weapons

We want:

• mod1_id:custom_knife - item
• #mod2_id:modded_daggers - item tag

to attack Animal Pen.
