Load My Tags Wiki

Load My Tags is a small, lightweight utility mod that fixes how Minecraft handles broken tags. Tags are lists that group blocks, items, fluids, and other things together - for example "all logs", "all planks", or "everything a tool can mine". Recipes, worldgen, and countless mod features rely on these tags to know which things belong together.

The problem it solves: when a datapack or another mod adds an entry to a tag that points at something that does not exist (a typo, a removed item, or a mod that is not installed), vanilla Minecraft throws out the entire tag rather than just the bad entry. That single broken line can silently break tools, recipes, worldgen, and any mod feature that depended on the tag.

Load My Tags changes that behaviour: it skips only the invalid entry, logs a clear warning naming the bad entry so you can find it, and keeps the rest of the tag working. It has no in-game content of its own - no blocks, items, mobs, or gameplay - and does nothing visible on its own. You install it alongside your other mods and datapacks so that broken tag entries become harmless instead of breaking things.

Install Load My Tags whenever you run a mix of mods and datapacks and want to be resilient against broken tags. It is especially useful for:

• Large modpacks, where a single mod or datapack with a bad tag entry can otherwise break unrelated recipes or worldgen across the whole pack.
• Datapack authors and pack testers, who get a named warning for each bad entry instead of a silently missing tag, making problems easy to track down and fix.
• Anyone removing or swapping mods, where leftover tag entries that point at now-missing items would normally wipe out the whole tag.

If everything in your setup is already perfectly consistent, Load My Tags simply does nothing - it only steps in when an invalid tag entry would otherwise cause a problem. Because it has no content, it is safe to add to almost any setup as a safety net.

Load My Tags hooks into the game's tag-loading step. During world/resource load the game reads every tag definition from vanilla, mods, and datapacks and resolves each entry to a real block, item, or other registered object.

• In vanilla behaviour, if any single entry in a tag cannot be resolved (it names something that is not registered), the game rejects the whole tag and treats it as if it contained nothing - so everything that referenced that tag breaks at once.
• With Load My Tags installed, the loader instead drops just the unresolved entry and keeps every valid entry in place. The tag still loads with all of its working contents.
• For each skipped entry it writes a warning to the log that names the tag and the bad entry, so you can see exactly what was invalid and where it came from.

The net effect is that one bad line no longer cascades into broken recipes, worldgen, or mod features - only the specific missing thing is left out, and you get a clear record of it.

Does Load My Tags add anything to the game? No. It has no blocks, items, mobs, or gameplay. It only changes how invalid tag entries are handled during loading.

Do I need it if my mods and datapacks are all consistent? Not strictly - if nothing has a broken tag entry it does nothing. It is a safety net that only acts when an invalid entry would otherwise break a tag.

How do I know it did something? Check your log. Whenever it skips an invalid entry it writes a warning naming the tag and the bad entry.

Will it hide real problems? It surfaces them instead of hiding them: the bad entry is named in the log, but the rest of your game keeps working while you fix the underlying pack or mod.

Is it safe to add or remove at any time? Yes. Because it adds no content of its own, you can add it as a safety net or remove it without affecting your world - removing it just restores vanilla's all-or-nothing tag behaviour.

A missing-dependency error mentions the mod id lmft. That is this mod's internal id. Make sure the mod file is present in your mods folder for your Minecraft version.
