Anisum

Anisum is a NeoForge-based Minecraft mod that collects items from loot tables and syncs them into client creative tabs for easier content organization and browsing.

Features

• Define tab sources and ordering through datapack JSON files.
• include rules support exact match, wildcard, and regex patterns.
• Automatically reprocesses loot tables after server datapack reload.
• Syncs tab payloads to players on join.

Configuration

Anisum reads JSON definitions via a resource reload listener with the anisum directory prefix. Typical location:

• data/<namespace>/anisum/<name>.json

Example:

{
  "location": "anisum:demo",
  "name": { "translate": "itemGroup.anisum.demo" },
  "include": [
    "examplemod:chests/simple_dungeon",
    "examplemod:chests/*",
    "examplemod:chests/.*_rare"
  ],
  "sort": [
    "examplemod:chests/simple_dungeon",
    "examplemod:chests/*"
  ]
}

Field notes:

• location: target tab identifier (namespace:path).
• name: tab display name (text component).
• icon: optional tab icon (empty if omitted).
• include: optional list of loot table matching rules.
• sort: optional list of ordering rules.

Supported rule formats for include / sort:

• Full path: namespace:path/to/table
