[SOLVED][1.14.4] Adding New Global Tags

[ShetiPhian]

At first I thought maybe I was using too old of a Forge build so updated it to 1.14.4-28.2.3

Then I figured maybe something was off in my environment, so I tested with a clean 'examplemod'

 

How does one register a new global tag?

The docs just mention using the forge domain but that doesn't seem to be enough.

I can add to existing tags in the minecraft and forge domains, and I can add new tags to the mods domain, but any new tags outside of the mods domain is unusable in recipes, loot tables and code.

 

Tag "test.json"

{
    "replace": false,
    "values": [
        "minecraft:dead_bush",
        "minecraft:fern"
    ]
}

 

Recipe:

{
    "type": "minecraft:crafting_shapeless",
    "ingredients": [
        {
            "tag": "examplemod:test"
        }
    ],
    "result": {
        "item": "minecraft:dirt"
    }
}

 

With the tag located at "data.examplemod.tags.items" the recipe works.

Moving it to "data.forge.tags.items" and changing the recipe to "forge:test" results in the error "com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: Unknown item tag 'forge:test'", and the recipe does not work.

Trying again with the tag at "data.minecraft.tags.items" and updating the recipe causes a similar error "com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException: Unknown item tag 'minecraft:test'" and again the recipe fails.

Even gave "global", "common" and "c" a try but same issue.

 

So it looks like adding the new json file is only part of the requirements. (and is the only requirement when within your own domain)

Do I need to create and register a TagProvider?

- If so, what happens when more the one mod registers a provider for the same file? (as that would be the case for all mod added provided global tags at multiple mods access)

- If not, what am I missing? or is this ore dictionary feature not yet implemented for tags?

I'm not sure why you're having a problem. This works:

Thank you, that was just the jump start my brain needed.

While carefully looking over your linked files, and comparing to my test ones, I noticed the dumb mistake in my test work space. a typo in the path 

 

Knowing without a doubt it does work, I started looking over my main work space, and remembered an issue I had early in 1.12. (resource changes stopped building)

So just like before I deleted the build folder. Now tags added to the forge domain work.
