Bow Tie

Tired of not being able to add comments to Minecraft JSON files? Want to control indentation formatting in your data yourself? Dreamed of writing recipes in convenient XML instead of bulky JSON?

Then this mod is made especially for you!

This Fabric mod uses the data API of Tweed 4 and allows replacing standard JSON files with more convenient data formats.

Supported Formats

Bow Tie works with all formats supported by Tweed:

• Hjson
• JSON5
• YAML
• XML

Usage Examples

Examples of files in alternative data formats can be found in the project's test mod.

How It Works

Bow Tie intercepts the data loading process and checks for supported files with the same name. It then loads these files using the appropriate serializers and uses Tweed's API to convert them to JSON format, which is then passed back to the game.
