Datapack Example Usage

Datapack Example Usage

Fuel definitions are data-driven under:

data/<namespace>/thruster_fuels/<path>.json

These fuels are used by both Thrusters and Liquid Burners.

Resolution rules (strict data-driven)

• Only declared fuel entries are valid.
• There is no implicit fallback for minecraft:lava or forge:fuel.
• If a world previously relied on fallback behavior, add explicit entries (datapack, config, or KubeJS).
• Source precedence is:
  • removed fuel ids
  • KubeJS scripted/override entries
  • datapack + config merged entries

JSON schema

{
  "fluid": "namespace:fluid_name",
  "thrust_multiplier": 1.0,
  "consumption_multiplier": 1.0,
  "particle": "plume",
  "override_textures": [
    "createpropulsion:plume_0",
    "createpropulsion:plume_1"
  ],
  "override_color": 6750207,
  "use_fluid_color": false,
  "required_mod": "optional_mod_id"
}

Fields

• fluid (required): fluid id
• thrust_multiplier (required): thrust scaling
• consumption_multiplier (required): fuel usage scaling
• particle (optional): plume, plasma, or none (default: plume)
• override_textures (optional): list of particle texture ids from the particle atlas
• override_color (optional): RGB color int, e.g. 0x66CCFF
• use_fluid_color (optional): use the fluid's own tint color for particles
• required_mod (optional): only loads if that mod is present

Example datapack files

Path:

data/my_pack/thruster_fuels/kerosene_plasma.json

Contents:

{
  "fluid": "tfmg:kerosene",
  "thrust_multiplier": 1.15,
  "consumption_multiplier": 0.9,
  "particle": "plasma",
  "override_textures": [
    "createpropulsion:plasma_0",
    "createpropulsion:plasma_1",
    "createpropulsion:plasma_2"
  ],
  "use_fluid_color": true,
  "required_mod": "tfmg"
}

data/my_pack/thruster_fuels/water_green_plume.json

{
  "fluid": "minecraft:water",
  "thrust_multiplier": 0.05,
  "consumption_multiplier": 1.0,
  "particle": "plume",
  "override_color": 3407718
}

Notes:

• override_color uses a decimal RGB integer (3407718 == 0x33FF66).
• If use_fluid_color is true, that fluid tint is used dynamically.
• If both are present, use_fluid_color takes priority over override_color.

Reload

• Use /reload to re-read datapack fuel files.
• On reload, fuel data is synced to connected clients automatically.
