Template:Lowercase Template:Exclusive The Template:Cd file is used to define metadata of a Minecraft:resource pack or Minecraft:data pack. The presence of this file identifies a directory or ZIP archive file as a resource pack or data pack.

Format

The Template:Cd file is defined using the following Minecraft:JSON format:

*: Because the file has to be backwards compatible with older versions of the game, these deprecated fields have to be added when the pack also supports old versions (data pack format < 82; resource pack format < 65).
†: These fields must be absent if the pack does not support old versions, but must be present if the pack does support old versions.

Template:Nbt The root object.
- Template:Nbt: Holds the pack information.
  - Template:Nbt Template:Nbt Template:Nbt: A Minecraft:text component that appears when hovering over the pack's name in the list given by the Template:Cmd command, or when viewing the pack in the Create World screen.
  - Template:Nbt*: (optional) The main format of this pack.
  - Template:Nbt Template:Nbt: Specifies the minimum version supported. Can be a single integer or a list of two integers, where the first one is pack (major) version, second one a minor version. Specifying a single integer is interpreted as that major version, for example value Template:Cd or Template:Cd is equivalent to Template:Cd.
  - Template:Nbt Template:Nbt: Specifies the maximum version supported, analogous as Template:Cd. Specifying a single integer is interpreted as any minor version.
  - Template:Nbt Template:Nbt Template:Nbt*†: The major versions this pack supports. Has to match the major versions specified in Template:Nbt Template:Nbt and Template:Nbt Template:Nbt. Examples: Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd.
- Template:Nbt: (optional) Section for selecting experimental features.
  - Template:Nbt: List of enabled feature flags.
    - Template:Nbt: Minecraft:Resource location of a feature flag.
- Template:Nbt: (optional) Section for filtering out files from packs applied below this one. Any file that matches one of the patterns inside Template:Nbt is treated as if it was not present in the pack at all.
  - Template:Nbt: List of patterns.
    - Template:Nbt: A pattern.
      - Template:Nbt: A Template:W for the namespace of files to be filtered out. If unspecified, it applies to every namespace.
      - Template:Nbt: A Template:W for the paths of files to be filtered out. If unspecified, it applies to every file.
- Template:Nbt: (optional) Section for specifying the overlays, which are sub-packs applied over the "normal" contents of a pack. Their directories have their own assets and data directories, and are placed in the pack's root directory.
  - Template:Nbt: List of overlays. The order is important, as the first in the list is applied first.
    - Template:Nbt: An overlay.
      - Template:Nbt: The directory to overlay for the respective versions (allowed characters: Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd and Template:Cd). In this directory, Template:Cd and Template:Cd are ignored.
      - Template:Nbt Template:Nbt: Specifies the minimum version to apply this overlay on. See Template:Cd in the Template:Cd section above.
      - Template:Nbt Template:Nbt: Specifies the maximum version to apply this overlay on. See Template:Cd in the Template:Cd section above.
      - Template:Nbt Template:Nbt Template:Nbt*†: The major formats to apply this overlay on. Must be present in all overlays if at least one of them requires it for backwards compability and has to match the major versions specified in Template:Nbt Template:Nbt and Template:Nbt Template:Nbt. Examples: Template:Cd, Template:Cd, Template:Cd.
- Template:Nbt: (optional) Only present in Minecraft:resource packs — Contains additional languages to add to the language menu.
  - Template:Nbt Language code for a language, corresponding to a Template:Cd file with the same name in the directory Template:Cd.
    - Template:Nbt: The full name of the language
    - Template:Nbt: The country or region name
    - Template:Nbt: If true, the language reads right to left.
