Tags are the fastest and most reliable way to get source items classified correctly in MarieLib. This page covers which tags MarieLib reads and how to use them.
🏷️ How Tags Work in Classification
Tags are the highest-priority signal in the classification pipeline. A tagged item will almost always be classified correctly, regardless of its name or recipe.
| Signal | Priority Multiplier |
|---|---|
Value tags (<modId>:values/* or consumer-specific) |
Highest |
Community tags (c:foods/*) |
5× |
| Namespace grouping | 4× |
| Name suffix match | 3× |
| Keyword match | 2× |
| Recipe inheritance | 1× |
See Classification Pipeline for the full trace output.
🌿 Community Tags — c:foods/*
The c: namespace is a cross-mod convention for categorizing items.
MarieLib reads the following c:foods/ suffixes:
Fruits
c:foods/fruit
c:foods/fruits
c:foods/berry
c:foods/berries
Vegetables
c:foods/vegetable
c:foods/vegetables
c:foods/crop
c:foods/crops
Proteins
c:foods/meat
c:foods/meats
c:foods/cooked_meat
c:foods/fish
c:foods/egg
c:foods/eggs
Grains
c:foods/grain
c:foods/grains
c:foods/bread
c:foods/breads
Dairy
c:foods/dairy
c:foods/cheese
Exact tag-to-value mappings are configurable by the consuming mod. The list above reflects common defaults.
🔖 Consumer Value Tags
Consuming mods register value tags for direct classification. For Nourished:
nourished:nutrients/fruits
nourished:nutrients/vegetables
nourished:nutrients/proteins
nourished:nutrients/grains
nourished:nutrients/dairy
File location: data/nourished/tags/item/nutrients/<key>.json
For a generic Marie mod, the pattern is:
<modId>:values/<valueKey>
📦 Adding Tags via Datapack
my_datapack/
└── data/
└── nourished/
└── tags/
└── item/
└── nutrients/
├── fruits.json
├── vegetables.json
└── ...
Each file follows standard Minecraft tag format:
{
"values": [
"mymod:item_one",
"mymod:item_two",
"#mymod:some_item_tag"
]
}
💡 Tips
c:foods/*tags benefit every mod that reads them — not just MarieLib.- Consumer value tags (
nourished:nutrients/*) are for precision overrides. - Tags propagate through
#references. - For Nourished-specific behavior tags (
raw_food,meal,light_food), see the Nourished Community Tags page.
