Custom Gimmick Items

Custom gimmick items refers to the items which allow you to use a certain gimmick such as dynamax band, omni ring etc. It is quite easy to make a custom gimmick item since its just a tag. Here is how you make your own

data/mega_showdown/tags/item/gimmick_id.json You have 5 options for gimmick id being

  • dynamax_band.json
  • omni_ring.json
  • tera_orb.json
  • z_ring.json
  • mega_bracelet.json
{
  "values": [
    "namespace:item_id"
  ]
}

You can either use any vanilla item or maybe a polymer item as long as you have a way to add your own custom item id you can use this (cuz vanilla does not have a inbuilt way to make a new item and you cant use datacomponents here)

For stuff like power spot you can also do this and have a custom block acting as the power spot like

data/mega_showdown/tags/block/power_spot.json

{
  "values": [
    "namespace:block_id"
  ]
}
