Attribute Modify

AttributeModify / NeoAttributeModify

Version 1.2.3 | Minecraft 1.20.1 Forge and Minecraft 1.21.1 NeoForge

Modify item attributes and related item behavior through datapacks. AttributeModify supports vanilla and modded attributes, mining overrides, durability changes, decorative item profiles, weighted quality data, and optional Curios or Accessories slots.

AttributeModify and NeoAttributeModify are distributed through the same CurseForge and Modrinth project pages. Install only the file that matches your Minecraft version and mod loader.

Datapack Layout

Place the datapack inside:

<world>/datapacks/

Attribute rule files belong under:

data/<namespace>/item_attributes/

Example structure:

MyAttributePack/
|-- pack.mcmeta
`-- data/
    `-- my_namespace/
        `-- item_attributes/
            `-- tools.json

Run /reload after changing datapack files.

Datapack Formats

The required pack_format depends on the Minecraft version.

Minecraft 1.20.1

Use datapack format 15:

{
  "pack": {
    "pack_format": 15,
    "description": "My AttributeModify rules"
  }
}

Minecraft 1.21.1

Use datapack format 48:

{
  "pack": {
    "pack_format": 48,
    "description": "My NeoAttributeModify rules"
  }
}

In-Game Editor

Each version provides its own client command.

The generated datapack is written into the current world’s datapack directory.

Saving requires either:

• Being the owner of the singleplayer world
• Having permission level 2 or higher on a server
