Chisel 3

Chisel is a mod for Minecraft which adds aesthetic blocks to the game through the use of a chisel.

The third iteration of the mod means a whole new rewrite from the ground up!

Pull Requests

Pull requests with new features, translations, and bugfixes are very welcome. Please make sure to always submit PRs against the dev branch, not master.

Do not make PRs that are solely formatting or other aesthetic things.

If your PR is going to take a lot of work, it may be best to make an issue so we can discuss the feature before you create it.

Adding Blocks to a Variant Family via Tag

In Chisel 3, you can add external blocks to an existing VariantFamily using block tags. This is particularly useful for modpack developers who want to unify similar blocks from different mods under a single Chisel family.

Each VariantFamily is associated with a tag, typically following the pattern c:chisel/<family_name>.

To add a block to a family:

1. Identify the tag used by the family (e.g., c:chisel/aluminum for the Aluminum family).
2. Create or modify a datapack to include your block in that tag.
   • The tag file should be located at data/c/tags/block/chisel/<family_name>.json.
3. Example of adding a block to the aluminum family:

   {
     "values": [
       "minecraft:iron_block"
     ]
   }

   Note: This would allow you to chisel an Iron Block into any variant in the Aluminum family and vice versa.

See the CONTRIBUTING file for more details.
