Better Tags

Which build do you need?

This mod ships a separate file for every mod loader and every version of the game. Pick both, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game.

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Better Tags

This mod add an exclude field ! for tag.

For example, you want to remove minecraft:oak_log from #minecraft:logs, you just need to write these in tags.

{
  "replace": false,
  "value": [
    "!minecraft:oak_log"
  ]
}

This feature is also available for tags, and if the key is not present it will not cause loading failures.

Other versions?

Of course after stabled.
