Mantle Data Pack and Resource Pack Integration

Mantle significantly expands the capabilities of standard Minecraft data packs and resource packs.

Loot Injectors

Mantle's Loot Injector system allows modders to add items to existing loot tables (like dungeon chests or mob drops) without overwriting the entire table. This prevents conflicts between multiple mods trying to modify the same loot source.

Fluid Transfer System

Mantle provides a JSON-based system to define how items interact with fluids. This allows modpack makers to make any item (like a custom bottle or bucket) hold fluids without writing Java code. It supports:

• Fluid Overrides: Forcing an item to behave as a fluid container
• Fluid Tooltips: Customizing how fluid amounts (mB vs. Buckets) appear in item descriptions

JSON Things (1.18+)

Mantle supports "Thing Packs," which allow for the creation of entirely new blocks and items using only JSON files. This is highly utilized in "Low Code" modding environments to add decorative blocks or simple tools without a full development workspace.

Resource Colors

Mantle includes a resource color system that allows data packs to define specific text colors for materials and items in tooltips, ensuring visual consistency across different mods' UIs.
