Introduction to Patch Generators

Patch Generators are a way to empower the user to more easily perform common edits or context-based edits for specific components.

Example Generators & Use Cases

1. defaulted:vanilla_weapon_stats: Easily creating weapon stats for an item, based on tool material.
2. defaulted:tool_material: Edit the tool material stored for this item.
3. defaulted:modify_enchantments: Adding or removing enchantments from an item by default.

Inside of your patches data file, you can use patch_generators, which is a list of patch generator objects to apply.

The specific patch generators which can be used can also be registered by other mods.

NOTE

Each patch generator object defines its type within the field generator

Pseudocode

{
    ...
    "patch_generators": [
        {
            "generator": "<generator_id>",
            ...
        }
    ]
    ...
}

How a specific generator is written depends on which type it is, for more information all included generators have pages here.
