Frequently asked questions

How do I start using this mod for the first time?
Create a new testing world, then set the reloadRegistries gamerule to true using /gamerule reloadRegistries true. After that, edit your worldgen datapack files in your text editor and run /reload in-game to see changes instantly without restarting.
Why aren't my jigsaw blocks showing colors?
Jigsaw blocks are only color-coded when the mod is active and rendering is enabled. Make sure you're in a world where the mod is loaded, and check that your jigsaw blocks have both a name and target name assigned—blocks without these won't receive color coding.
What's the difference between /resetchunks and just reloading?
/reload updates your datapack files in memory, but /resetchunks actually regenerates the terrain around you so you can see the new structures and terrain in your world. You typically run /reload first, then /resetchunks to test the results.
Can I use this mod with my existing survival world?
Yes, but it's designed for testing and development—use it in a dedicated testing world to avoid accidentally corrupting your survival save. The chunk resetting and registry reloading features are meant for rapid iteration, not everyday play.
