Mystical Customization Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I get started with Mystical Customization?
Open your Minecraft instance folder and look inside the config directory for the Mystical Customization folder, which holds the JSON files for crops, tiers, types, and mob souls. Edit or add a JSON file there, then reload the game or use the mod's reload command so your changes take effect.
Where do the JSON files for Mystical Customization go?
They live in the config folder for Mystical Customization inside your instance, typically split into subfolders like crops, tiers, types, and mob souls. If the folders don't exist yet, launching the game once with the mod installed will generate them.
How do I reload my JSON changes without restarting Minecraft?
Mystical Customization registers a reload command you can run from chat or the server console to re-read the JSON files. If you're unsure of the exact syntax, check the mod's in-game command suggestions or its documentation, since the command name may vary.
What's the difference between a crop tier and a crop type?
A tier controls the progression level of a crop (how 'high end' it is, similar to the tiers in base
Mystical Agriculture), while a type is a category or family that crops can belong to. You define both in their own JSON files, and crops reference them by name.

Yes, Mystical Customization lets you override existing crops by writing a JSON entry with the same ID as the crop you want to change. Your file takes priority over the default definition, so you can tweak its tier, type, seeds, or drops without touching the
base mod.
base mod.Why doesn't my custom crop show up in JEI or in-game?
The most common causes are a JSON syntax error, a missing or misspelled reference to a tier or type, or the file being in the wrong folder. Check your log for parsing errors, confirm the crop's ID matches what you expect, and make sure the tier and type it references actually exist.
Do I need to define a custom tier before I can use it on a crop?
Yes, a crop can only reference a tier that already exists, either one from base
Mystical Agriculture or one you've defined yourself. If you point a crop at a tier that isn't defined, the crop will fail to load.

Mob Soul Types are JSON definitions that let you add or modify the categories of mob souls used by
Mystical Agriculture's soul-related content. You define the type and which mobs belong to it, then reference that type wherever the mod expects a soul type.

It's designed to work alongside
Mystical Agriculture and its add-ons, and it only affects content registered through
Mystical Agriculture's systems. Crops from unrelated mods won't be touched unless they integrate with
Mystical Agriculture themselves.

JSON-defined crops are loaded once at startup and behave like normal
Mystical Agriculture crops at runtime, so a reasonable number won't noticeably affect performance. Very large numbers of crops, tiers, or soul types can increase load time and memory use, so keep an eye on
things if you go big.
