FAQ
- Can I use this in my modpack?
Of course! It was designed for modpack creators to remove undesired items that may unbalance the game or create issues.
- Client or server?
The mod is needed on both client and server. As it has some client features, but also server ones.
Can work server-side only, but JEI/REI/EMI and creative tab removals won't work.
- What if I mispell an item ID in the config file?
Nothing will happen. Adding invalid ID's won't cause issues, but obviously the item won't be blacklisted as it technically doesn't exist. Same thing would happen if the mod isn't present, but it will be if it's added later and the ID is valid.
Example Configuration:
Configuration is as simple as adding JSON entries for each item you want to obliterate.
Items can be from vanilla or any mod, you just have to add the id with the proper namespace, like minecraft:golden_apple
It's located inside the config folder, with the file "item_obliterator.json5" (>=2.0.0) or "item_obliterator.json" (< 2.0.0)
