Registries are repositories of data that contain entries pertaining to certain aspects of the game, such as the world, the player, among others.

The ability for the server to send customized registries to the client was introduced in 1.16.3, which allows for a great deal of customization over certain features of the game.

Format

The server sends these registries to the client via Registry Data packet during the configuration phase.

Packet ID State Bound To Field Name Field Type Notes
0x05 Configuration Client Registry Data NBT Tag Compound Information included below.

The Registry Data field represents a list of all available registries in the form of a Compound Tag. Elements in this compound are defined by the registry information, associated with the registry's name, as shown in the example below:

{
    "minecraft:worldgen/biome": {
        "type": "minecraft:worldgen/biome",
        "value": [
            {
                "name": "minecraft:ocean",
                "id": 0,
                "element": { /* Element */ }
            },
            {
                "name": "minecraft:plains",
                "id": 1,
                "element": { /* Element */ }
            },
            { /* Registry Entry */ }
            ...
        ]
    },
    "minecraft:dimension_type": { /* Registry */ },
    "minecraft:chat_type": { /* Registry */ },
    ...
}

Registry

The Registry Compound Tag specifies the type of the registry, and a list of registry entries.

Warning.png The name of the registry in the Registry Data is always the same to the registry type in the Notchian implementation.

Name Type Notes
type TAG_String The type of the registry.
value TAG_List of TAG_Compound List of registry entries. The format of the entries is defined by the value of the previous field.

Registry Entry

The Registry Entry Compound Tag specifies a single entry of a Registry.

Name Type Notes
name TAG_String The name of the entry.
id TAG_Int The protocol ID of the entry.
element TAG_Compound The actual data of the entry.

Warning.png This field is context-dependent and is based on the type field of its Registry.

Available Registries

The current release specification allows for six different registries to be sent to the client, six of which are required. A brief explanation of each of them is presented below, along with the format of their entries' element field.

Armor Trim Material

The minecraft:trim_material registry.

Biome

The minecraft:worldgen/biome registry. It defines several aesthetic characteristics of the biomes present in the game.

Warning.png A registry entry for each biome implemented in the client must exist in the Biome registry, otherwise the client will crash with an exception due to the missing biome.

Integer distribution

Integer providers can be either declared as constants with a TAG_Int, or in a structured TAG_Compounds for specific distribution types. For the latter, the following format is used.

Huh.png The following information needs to be added to this page:
The use for integer distributions described in the previous section pertains to monster spawning mechanisms, which is server-sided operation. The values received in the monster_spawn_light_level field have no noticeable impact on the client whatsoever. Should they even be described here?
Name Type Meaning Values
type TAG_String The type of distribution. Can be either:
  • minecraft:constant, for constant values, similarly to when declared as a TAG_Int.
  • minectaft:uniform, for uniformly distributed values between the specified range.
  • minecraft:biased_to_bottom, for values biased towards the lower end, between the specified range.
  • minecraft:clamped, for uniformly distributed values, clamped inside a range.
  • minecraft:weighted_list, for a weighted list of multiple distributions.
  • minecraft:clamped_normal, for normally distributed values, clamped inside a range.
value TAG_Compound Extra data pertaining to the type of distribution. Depends on the type of distribution.
