# dynamic registries<\/p>\n
Dynamic registries is a library mod that allows the creation of new data-pack based registries. It’s **possible** to define elements in code and trough data-packs (even the data-pack in your mod), but not necessary; you can also create elements only in code **or** in data-packs. Elements that were defined in code can also be overwritten from data-packs. Elements must be encoded in JSON.<\/p>\n
This library is based on the changes introduced in this PR. This PR probably isn’t going to be merged before 1.18.2 gets released, but I needed this feature already for 1.18.1, so I wrote this mod. There won’t be versions of this library for other Minecraft version for this reason.<\/p>\n
### How to add this library to your mods dependencies<\/p>\n
To add the library to your gradle setup, add modrinth to your dependency repositories.<\/p>\n
“`
\nrepositories {
\n maven {
\n name = “Modrinth”
\n url = “https:\/\/api.modrinth.com\/maven”
\n content {
\n includeGroup “maven.modrinth”
\n }
\n }
\n}
\n“`<\/p>\n
Add the above codeblock to your build.gradle above your dependencies block (the order doesn’t matter that strong, but lets assume that you’ve placed it there to simplify things a bit). If you already had a “`repositories“` block, only append the “`maven“` block to it.<\/p>\n
We now define the dependency itself. Add the line below to your dependencies block in your build.gradle. Version `0.1.0` was the latest at time of writing. Replace that with the latest currently available version.
\n“`
\nimplementation fg.deobf(“maven.modrinth:dynamicregistries:0.1.0”)<\/p>\n
“`<\/p>\n
You can now refresh your gradle project to download the dependencies and re-run IDE setup tasks (`genIntellijRuns`, `genEclipseRuns` or `genVSCodeRuns`)<\/p>\n
You can now use dynamic registries in your development setup, but you should make the forge mod-loader check for it’s dependencies when loading. That requires changes in your mods.toml (in `src\/main\/resources\/META-INF`). Add the following block at the end of the file<\/p>\n
“`
\n[[dependencies.modid]]
\nmodId = “dynamicregistries”
\nmandatory = true
\nversionRange = “0.0.0,2.0.0)”
\nordering = “NONE”
\nside = “BOTH”
\n“`
\nReplace `modid` with the modid of your mod and rearrange the version range if necessary<\/p>\n
