Registry Dumper 3000

Registry Dumper 3000

Registry Dumper 3000 is a developer/debugging utility mod for modpack makers, datapack creators, and mod developers.

It dumps Minecraft registries, tags, recipes, and resource folders to disk in a structured format so you can inspect exactly what is loaded in your game/server.

This is especially useful for:

• modpack debugging
• datapack troubleshooting
• tag/recipe conflict investigation
• registry inspection across mods
• reverse-engineering data-driven content
• checking what resources actually loaded after packs merge

***

What it dumps

Built-in registries

Dumps all built-in registries (not just blocks/items/fluids) from BuiltInRegistries.REGISTRY.

• Output format: TXT or JSON (configurable)
• Optional class names for entries (great for modded debugging)

Runtime registries

Dumps all runtime registries from the server RegistryAccess.

This includes modded/runtime-loaded registries and gives you the final state seen by the server.

Raw tag JSONs

Dumps raw tag JSON files directly from the resource manager (data/*/tags/...).

• Routes files by inferred registry type
• Supports modded tag types
• Can preserve original JSON formatting or pretty-print (configurable)

Expanded runtime tags

Dumps the final merged tag contents from Registry#getTags().

This lets you see the actual resolved contents of tags after all mods + datapacks + resource layers are applied.

• Output format: TXT or JSON (configurable)

Raw recipe JSONs

Dumps raw recipe JSON files from data/*/recipes/....

• Groups recipes by parsed recipe type
• Handles unknown recipe type and invalid JSON safely
• Optional pretty printing

Generic datapack resource folders (rule-based)

Config-driven dumping for arbitrary datapack folders (raw copy mode), including a large default ruleset.

Examples covered by default:

• loot_tables
• predicates
• item_modifiers
• advancements
• functions
• worldgen/* (biomes, features, structures, template pools, processors, noise, density functions, presets, etc.)
• dimension
• dimension_type
• damage_type
• chat_type
• trim_material
• trim_pattern
• painting_variant
• instrument
• jukebox_song
• Forge / NeoForge extras like loot modifiers / biome modifiers / structure modifiers

Unknown top-level folder catch-all (optional)

Can also dump top-level data folders that are not explicitly covered by your configured rules.

This helps find hidden or mod-added resource directories you forgot to account for.

Client asset folders (optional)

Optional client-side asset dumping on client start (disabled by default because it can be huge).

Examples:

• lang
• models
• blockstates
• textures
• sounds
• font
• shaders
• post_effect
• particles
• atlases

Why this mod is useful

When debugging modded Minecraft, the hard part usually isn't "what _should_ be loaded" — it's "what _actually_ got loaded after everything merged?"

Registry Dumper 3000 helps answer that by exporting:

• final registries
• final expanded tags
• raw source JSONs
• raw resource folders
• structured summaries with counts

It is designed for inspection and troubleshooting, not gameplay features.

***

Output location

By default, dumps are written to:

• <game folder>/dump/

The folder layout is configurable in the mod config.

Examples of generated roots (default names):

• dump/registry_builtin
• dump/registry_runtime
• dump/tags
• dump/registry_tags_expanded
• dump/recipes
• dump/data_raw
• dump/assets_raw

The mod also writes summary files (_summary.txt) for major dump sections.

***

Configuration

A detailed JSON config is automatically created at:

• <game folder>/config/registry_dumper_3000.json

The config lets you control:

• what dump sections are enabled
• TXT vs JSON output for supported dumps
• pretty-print behavior for raw JSON copies
• run-once-per-session behavior
• client/server triggers
• rule-based resource folder dumping
• unknown-folder catch-all behavior
• optional asset dumping
• summary/report generation
• optional resource stack dumping (advanced)

***

Performance / size notes

This mod can generate a lot of files depending on your modpack and config.

Please keep in mind:

• enabling asset dumping can be very large
• enabling unknown-folder catch-all can greatly increase output size
• pretty-printing JSON increases CPU work and file size
• optional resource stack dumping can multiply file count

If you only need specific data, disable the sections you don't need.

***

Who should use this

This mod is ideal for:

• modpack developers
• datapack developers
• mod developers
• server pack maintainers
• technical players debugging data-driven content

If you just want gameplay content, this mod is probably not for you.

***

Compatibility notes

• Built with Architectury-style lifecycle hooks
• Uses reflection in a few places for compatibility (platform info / client resource manager / optional resource stack APIs)
• Intended as a utility/debugging tool and may produce different amounts of output depending on loader/version/modpack contents

***

Quick start

1. Install the mod and launch the game/server.
2. Let it generate the config file.
3. Edit config/registry_dumper_3000.json to enable/disable what you want.
4. Restart and check the dump/ folder.
5. Use the generated _summary.txt files to quickly see what was exported.

Notes for pack authors

This mod is great for diagnosing issues like:

• tag contents not matching expectations
• recipe overrides not applying
• datapack resource path mistakes
• unexpected modded registry entries
• data-driven feature generation problems (worldgen folders)
