How to Delete Vanilla Recipes || The Datapack Filter System

[@conure512]

NOTE: This will work all the way back to Minecraft 1.19, but if you're working in a version prior to 1.21, there are some differences in the file paths. For example, rather than "recipe", everything starts with "recipes" (plural). This is also the case for Functions, Item Modifiers, Loot Tables, Predicates, Structures, and Advancements.

[@justvladcreate]

I remember how we replaced all recipe files with invalid recipes that caused a massive dump of errors in the logs that always freaked out my server owner friends back in old versions 1.14, 1.15

[@tehbeard]

6:16 Completely removing a tag would probably break a lot of places that expect that tag to exist (e.g. recipes, world gen, endermen block theft logic etc) Better for everything else to just see it as an empty list than having to code custom logic in all places to handle list / null.

[@TheAnnyParker]

Iirc, filtering in resource packs can rarely be useful in cases where you've replaced a lot of vanilla files in your own pack. It prevents the double loading of vanilla and then your own. This theoretically helps with load times, but I've never really noticed a huge difference, personally.

[@conure512]

Ah that makes sense! Client optimization is a concern I suppose lol

[@FoxSlyme]

It can be useful if you want to remove vanilla advancements or recipes for custom maps to be less distracting or prevent unintended behavior

[@malpkakefirek]

​@@FoxSlyme but we're talking specifically about filtering in resource packs here. Not datapacks.

[@toxicgamer5044]

by filtering the resourcepacks, you could stop the xray Ressourcepacks from working, by disabling the texture of stone ig

[@FoxSlyme]

@@malpkakefirek oh sorry, didn't notice

[@godofgrains]

woohoo the vid's here! btw you can filter out all enchantments, except for sharpness except for sharpness which will result in safe mode

[@LisooYT]

how do you remove/filter them

[@mysticat]

oh wow! tysm! :D

[@conure512]

well hello there Mysticat, nice to see you around here

[@mysticat]

@@conure512 you make helpful videos, of course ill b here :D

[@dombomb64]

YOOO hi :)

[@nleantnlant]

For those wondering. If you want to literally remove every recipe just dont index an object in the path. For example. "path": "recipe" This would filter out ALL recipes in the "recipe" folder

[@LisooYT]

Question, but what if i want to like keep 1 recipe or enchantment

[@nleantnlant]

@ Unfortunately filter will exclude all the descendants, so you can’t namespace a specific file to ignore when filtering. The most optimal way for that would be to put it in your recipes folder located in your datapack. You can watch a video on how to make custom recipes. You would just follow that guide but use the default of whatever you want to keep. Once again, this is only if you’re trying to only KEEP a couple recipes and make everything else uncraftable.

[@LisooYT]

@nleantnlant ye i figured all of that, it took hours that i think i sold my soul

[@supertoady]

@@LisooYT can't you just add back the recipe?

[@LisooYT]

@@supertoady you can, recreate the folder system and copy the minecraft file, for me its an enchantment, i filtered all of them, and then you can add them back if you will just paste the sharpness.json file into your datapack i recommend using mcassests for the files

[@aydenbales]

Thanks for this! I could see this being useful with mods like Tinkers Construct where the host wants to disable vanilla tools recipes.

[@uninable]

for stuff like that using the KubeJS mod to disable recipes is probably better, but this is another way if that's not possible

[@404maxnotfound]

@@uninable The whole reason why people use datapacks is because they want to work in a vanilla environment, thanks for your suggestion and KubeJS is a cool mod just doesn't really help in this situation.

[@uninable]

@@404maxnotfound the comment I'm replying to is talking about mods, but yeah I see your point about vanilla stuff

[@Run2Seeun]

I was aware of this feature but never knew how to use it. Thanks for the explanation!

[@FireKhakis]

Thank you so much! My friends and I are starting an smp this weekend based on Last Life and I needed to disable the bookshelves and enchanting table recipes!

[@Bluebird_YT]

I did not know it works with resource packs. This could be useful for blocking textures from other people’s packs. That is interesting

[@kyleyoung2464]

This would be interesting for altering existing datapacks and datapack compatibility.

[@404maxnotfound]

Oh that removing structures is really useful if you want to replace the default structures that spawn sadly dugeons are not proper strucutures if I remember so those will probably not be removed.

[@conure512]

Dungeons are features. There IS a way to prevent them from spawning, but it involves overwriting the actual biome files to simply not include them (I don't think you can do it with filters, it would cause an error if you tried)

[@LisooYT]

Question how would i filter every enchantment but be able to keep some of them

[@404maxnotfound]

Hmm for maybe for resource pack filtering you could probably remove the the default language files, that way you can always ensure players have your custom translations selected rather then the many vanilla ones. Useful for that one trick invovling detecting if the player has a resource pack enabled by using the lang file.

[@bobisnotaperson]

Oh hey! I've used this before to nuke all recipe advancements, even modded ones.

bro if you make a working custom book guide itll blow up right now. no way for custom written books atm.

Thx, saved me a LOT of time.

[@AspieGamer13]

When I want to look in the jar, I just use 7zip and it opens the jar as if it were a zip (no copy-paste-rename needed)

[@Konomi_io]

yep. even if you have the file associations for .jar set to execute with java, you can right click > 7-Zip > open archive

[@lordender_kitty_official]

I just extract the jar so it's just a normal folder and then delete everything in it other than assets and data because all the class files make it take ages to load the page.

[@Konomi_io]

@@lordender_kitty_official thats what i do too when i need frequent access to the vanilla resources lol

[@ComiColaMan]

day 1 of asking for conure to make a datapack that tethers entities together (it'd be funny)

[@conure512]

If both entities are leashable, you could do this with 2 commands: leash entity A to entity B, then leash entity B to entity A, so it will seem like both of them are pulling each other around :)

[@Hubcat_]

This brings up the obvious question of: What happens if you filter the entire vanilla datapack and resourcepack? What is Minecraft when you remove all the Minecraft from it?

[@conure512]

An error. You get an error. lmao

[@Hubcat_]

@@conure512 Makes sense lol, but I'm still curious what it would be like if you filtered as much as you could without getting an error, basically filtering all the file types you mentioned

[@conure512]

@@Hubcat_ This is a wonderful idea for a video tbh

[@asmylia9880]

So when I want specifically want to filter the trial chambers from generating, does it have to be the /tags/biomes/has_structures/trial_chambers or the /structure/trial_chambers directory? ..or both?

[@captinoshawottold]

Will you ever do a video about how to delete non-vanilla recipes?

[@enchanted_games]

I may be wrong on this but I think filtering paintings and similar doesn’t work properly because they are also listed in some tags to control which ones are placeable in survival, the tag won’t load if one painting is missing Again, I’ve not tested so take that with a pinch of salt

[@conure512]

Ah, that would make sense! What I observed is that filtering one painting blocks you from placing any others, including the ones hardcoded to the item that you get from the creative inventory. However, if you filter ALL paintings, the server doesn't start. So im guessing the game NEEDS at least one to exist, but aside from that, maybe editing that tag alongside the filter will cause it to work properly.

[@enchanted_games]

@@conure512 thats definitely strange that it blocks even the hardcoded ones, but yeah maybe editing the tag would let you place them in survival at least

[@404maxnotfound]

@@conure512 Maybe it's related to the structures? since theres at least one strucuture I know of that has a painting. Ie world gen might try to load in a painting, but there are no paintings so might crash.

[@lordender_kitty_official]

Only thing I can really think of to make use of filtering in resource packs is maybe core shaders, but I don't really know jack about them or how they work.

[@enchanted_games]

Removing any kind of shader related file will almost always just cause the resourcepack to fail unless you really know what you’re doing

[@gamedog123games]

Yo I have a question. Is it possible to use items with specific NBT in crafting recipes to make new items? If so, where would there be a tutorial?

[@conure512]

Testing for NBT is not possible in recipes, you're only able to put it on the output.

[@gamedog123games]

Ah that sucks

[@404maxnotfound]

The closest we have rn is a the recipe_transmute recipe type introduced in 24w38a. It's currently very limited only being able to change the item type of an item while retaining nbt.

[@gamedog123games]

@@404maxnotfound Good to know, thanks!

[@404maxnotfound]

Imo your best bet is to use blocks and items that are not possible to obtain in survival as the input for the crafting recipe. That way nobody can craft the output without your custom nbt item. The only issue is the recipe book will ignore any custom model you give the nbt item.

[@ThatNoobKing]

oh hey engineer nope edit

[@122806ac]

can you do a tutorial for custom biomes/dimensions with datapacks

[@nextraven]

Great video, one question tho: Do datapacks and resourcepacks still load correctly even when the filtered files aren't found?

[@conure512]

I'm pretty sure they're just ignored in that case. Shouldn't cause an issue.

[@icebluscorpion]

So... You showed us how to remove but how do you replace the recipe like for example you want to make a diamond pickaxe and you get a kelp block instead 🤔? Or adding additional recipes

[@Gnomur]

Great video as always!

[@TwentySeventhLetter]

This is really cool to know about because in the past, I've just made override datapacks that use the minecraft namespace but replace a given recipe with an empty object, which is a lot more work. Something I'm wondering now though is how to disable the _learning_ of recipes without actually removing the capacity to craft them. I'm trying to make use of the doLimitedCrafting gamerule, but I still want players to be able to learn recipes, just not in the vanilla way that only requires finding the ingredients. Using knowledge books or specified advancements to earn recipes is what I have in mind, but I'm not sure what I need to disable to prevent the recipes from being learned, like learning to craft a boat just from entering water. Anyone know where that's located?

[@conure512]

The unlocking is controlled by advancements, so you can filter minecraft:advancement/recipes to stop that. However, if you craft a recipe that you haven't unlocked, THAT always unlocks it, and you can't stop that part.

[@TwentySeventhLetter]

@ Wait so doLimitedCrafting doesn't even prevent you from crafting things you know the recipe for? What is it even for then? Just concealing information from players? That's so underwhelming if true

[@TwentySeventhLetter]

would there be a way to filter out recipes dynamically according to whether a player has learned them or not? instead of relying exclusively on what the player's actual knowledge is

[@conure512]

@@TwentySeventhLetter Ah sorry I misunderstood, I thought you said you were planning to not use doLimitedCrafting. So yeah, that would stop it then. The gamerule prevents players from crafting anything they haven't unlocked.

[@TwentySeventhLetter]

@ Okay whew! Then I should be fine, thanks for helping me understand!

[@DesTheBeetle]

Very useful video!

[@bloxxer_tv]

How odd! I didn't know you could do this. The way I prevented crafting vanilla items was by overriding the recipe advancement for the recipe I wanted gone (so players don't get the notification they can craft it, as well as the recipe), and then replacing the output item of the recipe to give the item a custom lore text of "This Recipe Has Been Removed!". But this is so much better, and cleaner! Question, though. Can you list multiple paths one after the other, or does it have to be an array?

[@conure512]

"block" is an object list, so you can just add more objects to the list. The example pack I provided shows how to do this (I included every filter I showed in the video sinultaneously).

[@EvilParagon4]

Is there a way to do this for mods? Namespace seems to be the key, but I tried doing it and I got no result.

[@conure512]

Honestly depends on the mod. Some will use the typical namespace system and some won't, because some devs just implement their own brand new system.

[@celdaemon]

I'm wondering, do textures, shaders, and models also work in this manner, as they should also use the same resource loading system

[@conure512]

Yup! That's all covered by Resource Pack filters like I mentioned at the end

[@Mazoreo]

Gamerule require recipes: true Advancement revoke recipe all

[@X.K-tuber]

Tell me what happens if "Block": [{ "namespace": "mod namespace"}] Eg the create mods namespace, when the mod is loaded

[@conure512]

As long as the datapack is loaded after the mod, you should be able to filter mod files. I've never tried it though, I don't really use mods much. This also requires that the mod uses the vanilla format for defining these files (recipes as .json files, etc) which some may not.

[@Kjotleik]

Works perfectly! Thanks. I made the NoAdvancements datapack-filter. So easy. So amazing to be able to start a new world without all those annoying advancement-popups. Is there a way to filter out recipe popups, but keep the recipes themselves? The answer didn't drop into my head immediately, but maybe in yours?

[@conure512]

Recipes are unlocked by hidden advancements. To block those, you can filter "advancement/recipes/" (could also be "recipe", dont remember off the top of my head). However, if you do filter those, then the recipes wont show up in the recipe book until you actually craft with them, and when you do use a recipe for the first time, it will show the popup at that moment. So there's no way to completely get rid of the popup.

[@Kjotleik]

@@conure512 Thanks for the information. So, basically I would have to go through every single recipe and add a ["show_toast": false,] line. Would that even work for recipes? Either way it is just too much work. And I would have to check for added recipes for every update...

[@Konomi_io]

@@Kjotleik this is the kind of thing you would automate with a script. write some simple code (or get chatgpt to do it) that goes thru all the recipes, edits that line, and saves it under your data pack

[@Kjotleik]
