Information for modpack makers 1.3. - SmileycorpMC/The-Hordes GitHub Wiki

The hordes 1.3.+ has a major change to how the default datapack works, in the folder there is a file called hordes-info.json, this is how the mod checks if the default datapack is up to date.

The mod will regenerate if the default datapack changes as notified by the data_version.

The rest of the options in this file do not matter for the purposes of pack regeneration.

Do not remove this file, or the config files will regenerate.

Preventing your files from being regenerated

Setting the data_version value to -1 will enable "pack maker mode", this will prevent the files from ever regenerating and is recommended for most modpack authors if they have custom files. You may wish to keep an eye on default changes in cas they are useful for your pack, however.

Backups

The mod will create a backup of your files if it regenerates them (in case your hordes-info.json is missing, corrupt, or unchanged) stored at the config/hordes-backup folder.
