Recreative uses watches the ./config/recreative/ folder in your Minecraft instance for files.

Creating Rules

You can create as many .json files inside this folder as you want (e.g., remove_vanilla.json, my_modpack_tabs.json, custom_combat.json). Recreative will read all of them and combine the rules.

This is useful for modpack developers who want to organize their scripts, or for sharing specific UI tweaks with others without overwriting their entire configuration.

The Basic Structure

Every file must contain a JSON array of "Rule" objects. Each rule must have an action defining what it does.

For example:

[
  {
    "action": "remove_tab",
    "tabs": ["minecraft:building_blocks"]
  },
  {
    "action": "custom_tab",
    "tabs": ["my_pack:magic"],
    "name": "Magical Items"
  }
]
