Datapack Reference

Datapack reference

Everything Renegades reads from data, on one page. All files support neoforge:conditions; a file at the same path in a higher datapack replaces the bundled one; /reload applies changes. Invalid files or entries are skipped with a warning in the log.

Tag	Type	Purpose	Default
#renegades:spawns/<class>	biome	Biomes a class may spawn in as group leader (for other mods' entities: #renegades:spawns/<namespace>/<path>)	#minecraft:is_overworld, #minecraft:is_nether, #minecraft:is_end
#renegades:rare_replace/<weapon>_t2_t3	item	Tier 2-3 weapons a bundled unique may replace (double_axe, glaive, dagger, sickle, claymore, hammer, mace, shield, longbow, heavy_crossbow, fire_staff, frost_staff, arcane_staff, holy_staff, aqua_staff, terra_staff, wind_staff, berserker_axe, lute, lyre, knuckle)	the diamond/netherite (tier 2-3) items of the class mods
#renegades:magic	damage type	All renegade spell schools	renegades:generic, arcane, fire, frost, healing, lightning, soul, water, earth, air
#renegades:spell_projectile	damage type	Blocked spell bolts	renegades:spell_projectile

Damage types and tags

Renegades registers these damage types: renegades:generic, arcane, fire, frost, healing, lightning, soul, water, earth, air (spell schools) and renegades:spell_projectile (used when a shield blocks a spell bolt). It puts them into the tags other mods check:

Tag	Contains
c:is_magic	#renegades:magic, #renegades:spell_projectile (e.g. Dynamic Difficulty's magic damage bonus)
neoforge:is_magic	#renegades:magic, renegades:spell_projectile (e.g. Apotheosis "Magic Damage reduced")
minecraft:is_lightning	renegades:lightning (e.g. Apotheosis "Lightning Damage reduced")
minecraft:bypasses_armor	#renegades:magic
minecraft:bypasses_shield	#renegades:magic
minecraft:is_projectile	#renegades:spell_projectile
minecraft:witch_resistant_to	#renegades:magic, #renegades:spell_projectile
minecraft:panic_causes	#renegades:magic, #renegades:spell_projectile

/renegades damagetags lists our damage types (and Spell Power's) with these tags.

Example: Spell Power schools in the magic tags

Spell Power's own schools are only in c:is_magic. A modpack that wants Apotheosis' reductions to work against them (e.g. against players' spells) can add them with a datapack, for example:

// data/neoforge/tags/damage_type/is_magic.json
{ "replace": false, "values": [ { "id": "#spell_power:all", "required": false } ] }

// data/minecraft/tags/damage_type/is_lightning.json
{ "replace": false, "values": [ { "id": "spell_power:lightning", "required": false } ] }

Other data that affects renegades

• Apotheosis augments (data/apotheosis/apothic_augments): the augment random_affix_items decides how often a renegade becomes an elite. See Elites (Apotheosis).
• Language keys entity.renegades.elite and entity.renegades.elite_set (resource packs) set the wording of elite titles.
