Tame Your Items with ItemGator

Looking to create a more thoughtful and sequential player progression system? Want to temporarily restrict access to special items until players reach a certain level of advancement? ItemGator is your reliable solution for this challenge!

This well-designed mod allows you to create placeholder items that will automatically replace target objects until the player obtains a specific tag through FTB Quests, executed mcfunction functions, or any other suitable method.

How it works in practice:

• Player finds a desired item... but it immediately transforms into a substitute (like a simple stick)
• All information about the original item is preserved in the substitute's NBT data
• When the player finally obtains the required tag, magic happens automatically - the replacement object reverts to its true form with all characteristics preserved

Blocking Access to Entire Modified Content

Imagine: you want technological mods to become available only after meeting specific conditions. For example, hide all items from Immersive Engineering until obtaining the "test123" tag:

{
  "type": "itemgator:mod",
  "mod": "immersiveengineering",
  "substitute": { "item": "minecraft:stick" },
  "tag": "test123"
}

The result is that any item from this mod will turn into a simple stick until the required tag is obtained.

Targeted Restrictions for Specific Items

Need to block access only to a certain category of resources? ItemGator handles this task perfectly:

{
  "type": "itemgator:ingredient",
  "input": { "tag": "minecraft:planks" },
  "substitute": { "item": "minecraft:stick" },
  "tag": "test123"
}

This setup ensures that all wooden plank blocks transform into sticks until the player earns the "test123" tag by meeting specific conditions.

With ItemGator, you gain a powerful tool for creating well-planned player progression scenarios and content with staged unlocking of capabilities!
