Description

LineageCore is a mod I made specifically to create Species that work with all kinds of things.

Whether you want to use Java or purely JSON, you can make a species with either.

Here's some basic guides in the form of an example json file that you should put into ".minecraft/lineages/template.json" or ".minecraft/lineages/template/template.json"
NOTE: The artDirectory searches ONLY in the lineages folder, nowhere else.

  • Display Name: Changes the title of your Species/Subspecies
  • Species Description: Your Description
  • Species ID: Your Species ID, "id" denotes a core species and "id_sub" denotes a subspecies,.
  • Order [OPTIONAL]: Changes the order of where your species appears, 100 is default and will make it appear right-most.
  • Has Subspecies [OPTIONAL]: True of False, should be able to be used with subspecies as well.
  • Is Subspecies Of [OPTIONAL]: Denotes what species it is a subspecies of, please do not use this if your species is a core species. "human" and "normal_human" are the base core species.
  • Locks on Select [OPTIONAL]: Tells the game whether it should lock a species or not.
  • Art Directory [OPTIONAL, BUT RECOMMENDED]: Denotes where the art is, searches the Lineage Folder and any Subfolders.
  • On Select [OPTIONAL]: In Java, it only supports Java Code, obviously. In Json, it only supports commands as shown below (For Safety Reasons).
{
  "displayName": "Example Species",
  "speciesDescription": "A versatile custom lineage created via JSON. Grants speed and basic survival gear upon selection.",
  "speciesID": "example_species",
  "order": 10,
  "hasSubspecies": false,
  "isSubspeciesOf": "human",
  "locksOnSelect": true,
  "artDirectory": "textures/example_species_art.png",
  "onSelect": {
    "type": "command",
    "command": [
      "/give @s minecraft:iron_sword 1",
      "/effect give @s minecraft:speed 9999 0 true"
    ]
  }
}
