Tags

Tags are the no-code way to change which mobs the rules apply to. Put a file with the same path in your datapack: "replace": false adds to our list, "replace": true replaces it. Changes apply with /reload.

The mod only ever checks its own tags. Convention tags (#c:...) that other mods fill are part of our tags' default contents, so you can take them out.

Entity type tags

data/throwablemobs/tags/entity_type/<name>.json

Tag	Default contents	Effect
unthrowable	#c:bosses, #c:capturing_not_supported, ender dragon, wither, warden, elder guardian	Can never be picked up.
owner_only	wolf, cat, parrot	Only the owner can pick these up, even with owner_only_for_tamed = false.
no_self_damage	#minecraft:fall_damage_immune (chicken, cat, blaze, bee, parrot, bat, phantom, breeze, golems...)	Take no impact damage themselves, with the default self_damage = RESPECT_TAG.
no_teleport	#c:teleporting_not_supported	The teleport_random behavior leaves them where they are.

Mass also limits pickup: anything heavier than max_mass (1500 by default; an iron golem is about 2100) can't be carried, tag or not.

Block tags

data/throwablemobs/tags/block/<name>.json

Tag	Default contents	Effect
put_down_ground_denied	empty	Never ground to put a mob down on, with the default ground_filter = DENY_LIST.
put_down_ground_allowed	empty	The only ground to put a mob down on, with ground_filter = ALLOW_LIST.

Examples

Throw the Warden, but keep everything else on our list. Replace the list and leave the Warden out:

// data/throwablemobs/tags/entity_type/unthrowable.json
{
    "replace": true,
    "values": [
        { "id": "#c:bosses", "required": false },
        { "id": "#c:capturing_not_supported", "required": false },
        "minecraft:ender_dragon",
        "minecraft:wither",
        "minecraft:elder_guardian"
    ]
}

A mob can be in our tag through one of the c: tags, too: other mods (and the loaders) fill #c:bosses. To free such a mob, drop the c: tag and list by id the ones you still want blocked. /throwablemobs profile doesn't show tags; try picking the mob up instead, the prompt says why it can't be carried.

Make chickens take impact damage again:

// data/throwablemobs/tags/entity_type/no_self_damage.json
{
    "replace": true,
    "values": [
        "minecraft:cat",
        "minecraft:ocelot"
    ]
}

Or for every mob at once, set self_damage = ALL in the config.

Rules for referencing tags you don't own:

• Mark them optional, so a missing tag never breaks loading: { "id": "#c:something", "required": false }.
• Don't invent c: tags. Make your own (#mypack:bouncy) and reference that.
