Question:

#223 asks a similar question, and provides the answer that is currently on the wiki - it claims the default 'absorption' ability is located at <world-root>/datapacks/<datapack-name>/data/everlastingabilities/everlastingabilities/abilities/absorption.json (also see wiki/Ability-datapacks#registry). Testing in 1.19.2 with mod version 2.1.1, placing a json file at that location seems make a new ability, rather than overriding the current one. Looking at master-1.20/src/main/resources/data/everlastingabilities/everlastingabilities/abilities (1.19-lts is the same), the structure looks like it's .../abilities/effect/absorption.json rather than .../abilities/absorption.json - and making the file in the datapack at .../abilities/effect/absorption.json instead does seem to override the default absorption ability rather than making a second one. Likewise, special abilities appear to be at .../abilities/special/bonemealer.json.

Is this the intended path, and if so could the wiki be updated to use examples that use and distinguish between these two folder, e.g. everlastingabilities:effect/absorption is at <world-root>/datapacks/<datapack-name>/data/everlastingabilities/everlastingabilities/abilities/effect/absorption.json, and everlastingabilities:special/bonemealer is at <world-root>/datapacks/<datapack-name>/data/everlastingabilities/everlastingabilities/abilities/special/bonemealer.json?

Example datapacks with the file at these two locations:
abilities_root_absorption.zip (seems to create a new ability without modifying the default one)
abilities_effect_absorption.zip (seems to overwrite the default ability)

Aha, those were the old locations indeed. Fixed! :-)
