Tres Tack Shop A Swem Add On Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start crafting tack in survival mode?
Gather the base materials listed in the crafting recipes (wood, leather, dyes, and other common items), then use a crafting table to combine them into tack pieces. Each tack set has its own recipe—check the mod's crafting guide or hover over items in JEI/NEI to see what you need.
Can I use award trophies and ribbons in survival mode?
Award items are uncraftable by design and intended only for server administrators or multiplayer competitions. You'll need creative mode or commands to obtain them for survival play.
Why did my ribbon lose its custom name when I placed it down?
Place ribbons and trophies inside item frames instead of on the ground—item frames preserve custom NBT data like names and lore, while placing them as blocks may strip that information.
How do I equip tack onto my horse?
Hold the tack item and right-click on your horse, just like equipping a saddle or armor. The tack will appear on the horse's model in the style you crafted.
Can I put multiple tack pieces on one horse?
Yes—you can layer different tack types like blankets, leg wraps, halters, and fly masks on the same horse to create custom outfits combining English, Western, and Adventure styles.
What's the difference between English, Western, and Adventure tack?
These are three distinct visual styles for the same tack slots—English is formal and refined, Western is rugged and ranch-themed, and Adventure is practical and protective. Choose whichever fits your horse's look.
Do I need to install SWEM separately for this mod to work?
Yes, Tre's Tack Shop is an add-on that requires SWEM (Sophisticated Wolves Equine Mod or similar horse mod) to function—install SWEM first, then this mod.
Can I hold two event medals at once like in the screenshots?
Yes—wearable event medals can be held in both hands simultaneously, allowing you to display multiple awards at once.
How do I set up trophies and ribbons for a horse show?
Create or obtain award trophies and ribbons, place them in item frames on walls or stands to display them, then distribute uncraftable award items to winners via creative mode or commands.
Do tack boxes provide any gameplay benefit or are they just storage?
Wooden tack boxes function as decorative storage blocks for organizing your stable—they're primarily aesthetic and don't offer special inventory features beyond regular chests.
