Exploring Tags Systematically

Use Tag Tooltips to understand how your modpack organizes items:

1. Start with common items (wood, stone, ores, ingots)

2. Hold the toggle key and hover over each

3. Note recurring tag patterns (like forge:ingots/copper or minecraft:planks)

4. Move to less familiar items and mods

5. Build a mental map of tag hierarchies

Why This Matters

Tags determine:

Which items work in machines and furnaces
How mods recognize "similar" items for recipes
Compatibility between different mods
Whether custom items integrate properly

By exploring tags early, you'll understand why certain items are interchangeable in recipes, why some machines accept multiple ore types, and how modpack creators organize content. This knowledge helps you make informed decisions when crafting, trading, or troubleshooting.
