Understand How Data-Tagged Blocks Affect Schematic Costs

What Counts as Hidden Data

Blocks and items with special properties now cost their full value:

• Enchanted tools and weapons (with enchantment tags)
• Named items (custom display names)
• Potions and effects (stored NBT data)
• Blocks with custom properties (Create contraptions, modded special blocks)

The Schematicannon reads this data and demands you provide the exact items—no shortcuts.

Why This Matters

Before the patch, these data tags were sometimes ignored, letting players print expensive items for cheap. Now the machine is honest about costs.

How to Work With It

1. Inspect your schematic: Look for any blocks or items with special names or properties

2. Budget accordingly: Enchanted items cost more than plain ones—gather extras

3. Simplify if needed: Replace fancy items with plain alternatives to reduce costs

4. Plan automation: Set up systems to produce or gather the specific items your schematic needs

Understanding data helps you predict costs and build efficiently.
