Can anyone release a video explaining how to possibly make a config file with this? I am trying to make one but I seem to be failing at it. Thank you

I saw the second photo. I just don't understand how it works. I'm trying to make a config to where I can disable or enable my ores from spawning into the world kind of like how other mods work. So I can make them better compatible with each other.

Very cool!! But is there a way to use itemstack in a json file?

Only numbers, logic and strings are supported, you use display names of items this is a string value however you would need to add support when importing for the same item when reading the script. Item stacks are not really possible to convert back to after storing it into a string from sadly however if you use create text with you can convert a itemstack into a string you can work with but you still have the same issue with adding support for all items you want to work with. Maybe a block to convert strings to items stacks or air if fails would be a good side plugin to work with this plugin.

This seems really useful but it's unfortunately won't work for any recent versions. Could you make a version for 2021.1 EAP (03117)?
