Hi,
So it's really noob, but i'm not sure if it's a fail from my end or if i'm doing something that breaks everything.
I'm quite new with datapacks, so bear with me haha.

I've a cobblemon map that I wanted to customize with BotanyPots. I downloaded a datapack. Works flawless. Then I wanted to add more Minecraft conditions. For the example i'm using diamond to be simple even if my final plans are quite differents.

Here's what i've done :

• data => botanypots => recipes. There were a cobblemon folder. I created a minecraft one.
• crop => diamond.json

{
  "type": "botanypots:crop",
  "seed": {
    "item": "minecraft:diamond"
  },
  "categories": [
    "dirt",
  ],
  "growthTicks": 1200,
  "display": {
    "type": "botanypots:aging",
    "block": "minecraft:wheat"
  },
  "drops": [
    {
      "chance": 1.00,
      "output": {
        "item": "minecraft:diamond"
      },
      "minRolls": 1,
      "maxRolls": 2
    },
  ]
}

The code. I used the example one with the new type to make it working.
When I run the game nothing. Cobblemon ones load fine.
I'm getting this error for the diamond one in the logs :

[01:34:23] [Worker-Main-4/ERROR]: Couldn't parse data file botanypots:minecraft/crop/diamond from botanypots:recipes/minecraft/crop/diamond.json com.google.gson.JsonParseException: com.google.gson.stream.MalformedJsonException: Use JsonReader.setLenient(true) to accept malformed JSON at line 8 column 4 path $.categories[1]

But i can't find anything bad here ?
Any tip ?
Thanks o/

Hello @RichardPaulAstley I am not sure if I understand what you're trying to accomplish but I can see the issue with your file. JSON expects the file to be formatted in a very specific way so that it's easy for computers to read and process. In this case a comma , should only be used to indicate there is another entry directly afterwards. For example on line 7 you have "dirt", which tells the program it should expect a second category. There are similar issues with the drops on line 22. If you're stuck you can use a website like JSONLint to validate your file and show you where the error is. Here is a corrected version of the file, however I would recommend trying to fix it yourself first.

{
    "type": "botanypots:crop",
    "seed": {
        "item": "minecraft:diamond"
    },
    "categories": [
        "dirt"
    ],
    "growthTicks": 1200,
    "display": {
        "type": "botanypots:aging",
        "block": "minecraft:wheat"
    },
    "drops": [
        {
            "chance": 1,
            "output": {
                "item": "minecraft:diamond"
            },
            "minRolls": 1,
            "maxRolls": 2
        }
    ]
}

Hi !
Thanks a lot for your answer. I feel so dumb right now. I fixed the second , in drops. But my eyes didn't see the one in the dirt part. Holy. And i deal with json too much these days.
Sorry it works !

Nice, glad you got it to work.
