ItemGator

Looking for an easy way to prevent players from having *anything* to do with an item until they've made it further through progression? Then look no further! ItemGator allows you to use datapack-style recipes in order to prevent players from being able to have an item until some other process - be it an FTB Quest Reward, a Per-Tick `mcfunction` or some other means - adds a tag to the player. When the tag isn't present on the player, the item will turn into whatever item is defined as a substitute and all of the data for the original item will be stored on the substitute as NBT. When the tag *is* present, the mod will use that NBT data on the item to revert it back to its original form, allowing you to push the use of an item to a later time. ## Datapack examples: ### Disallow access to an entire mod until the tag `test123` is given to the player In this example, the mod Immersive Engineering is being gated from any player that doesn't have the tag `test123`. When a player without that tag obtains *any* Immersive Engineering item, it'll turn into a stick until they are granted that tag. ```json { "type": "itemgator:mod", "mod": "immersiveengineering", "substitute": { "item": "minecraft:stick" }, "tag": "test123" } ``` ### Disallow an item or item tag until the tag `test123`is given to the player In this example, any `minecraft:planks` will be turned into a stick until the player is granted the tag `test123`: ```json { "type": "itemgator:ingredient", "input": { "tag": "minecraft:planks" }, "substitute": { "item": "minecraft:stick" }, "tag": "test123" } ```
