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 Compound Tag 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 String Tag The type of the registry.
value List Tag of Compound Tag List of registry entries.

Registry Entry

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

Name Type Notes
name String Tag The name of the entry.
id Int Tag The protocol ID of the entry.
element Compound Tag 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.

Fields marked in __ blue represent data for server-side exclusive operations, and thus have no visible impact on the client.

Armor Trim Material

The minecraft:trim_material registry. It defines various visual properties of trim materials in armors.

Name Type Meaning Values
asset_name String Tag The trim color model to be rendered on top of the armor.

The Notchian client uses the corresponding asset located at trims/color_palettes.

Example: "minecraft:amethyst".
ingredient String Tag The ingredient used.

This has the visual effect of showing the trimmed armor model on the Smithing Table when the correct item is placed.

Example: "minecraft:copper_ingot".
item_model_index Float Tag Color index of the trim on the armor item when in the inventory. Default values vary between 0.1 and 1.0.
override_armor_materials Optional Compound Tag Asset for different types of armor materials, which overrides the value specified in the asset_name field.

The Notchian client uses this to give a darker color shade when a trim material is applied to armor of the same material, such as iron applied to iron armor.

The key can be either:
  • leather
  • chainmail
  • iron
  • gold
  • diamond
  • turtle
  • netherite

The value accepts the same values as asset_name.

description Compound Tag or String Tag The name of the trim material to be displayed on the armor tool-tip.

Any styling used in this component is also applied to the trim pattern description.

See Text formatting.

Armor Trim Pattern

The minecraft:trim_pattern registry. It defines various visual properties of trim patterns in armors.

Huh.png The following information needs to be added to this page:
The decal field seems to exist to prevent overlapping between the armor model and the trim model. What exact effect does it have?
Name Type Meaning Values
asset_id String Tag The trim pattern model to be rendered on top of the armor.

The Notchian client uses the corresponding asset located at trims/models/armor.

Example: "minecraft:coast".
template_item String Tag The template item used for this trim.

This has the visual effect of showing the trimmed armor model on the Smithing Table when the correct item is placed.

Example: "minecraft:coast_armor_trim_smithing_template".

decal Byte Tag Whether this trim is a decal. 1: true, 0: false.

Biome

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

Biome entries are referenced in the Chunk Biomes and Chunk Data and Update Light packets.

  • none, for a static temperature throughout the biome (aside from variations depending on the height).
  • frozen, for pockets of warm temperature (0.2) to be randomly distributed throughout the biome. This is used on frozen ocean variants in the Notchian client to simulate spots of unfrozen water, where it always rains instead of snowing.
downfall Float Tag The downfall factor of the biome.

Affects foliage and grass color if they are not explicitly set.

The default values vary between 0.0 and 1.0.

Integer distribution

Integer providers can be either declared as constants with a Int Tag, or in a structured Compound Tags 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?
