So it is! I'm still learning Java and Intellij, I'm used to working in Xcode. For anyone else that's quite new to this, if you look at the main root folders in the directory on the right hand side, there is your project, and the directory located beneath your project is called External Libraries. The information can be found in External Libraries/Gradle: net.minecraft:client:extras:1.16.3 Your IDE can open up the file path client-extras/data/minecraft/loot_tables/blocks from there. Attached are images showing where it can be found.

I've been following tutorials to start modding in 1.16.3 but they don't go this far yet. Is there a way to disable the vanilla nether portal within my mod? I have a different mechanic in mind I would like to try, but I need the vanilla nether portal creation to be disabled. Is there anywhere I can look for further information? I'm new to Java, but I'm a quick study and I'm not new to programming. For more detail, the final product that I'd like to end with is that I'd like the nether portal only to activate if there are 2 redstone dust set on the top part of the bottom 2 obsidian blocks in the portal as in the first image below. Then lighting it up activates the portal. Really, the redstone dust just needs to line the bottom of the portal regardless of the size of the portal. Thank you kindly

Beautiful, took me a hot minute to find it because I'm on mac. For anyone else struggling with this, the path was Macintosh HD/Users/"Username"/.gradle/caches/forge_gradle/minecraft_repo/versions/1.16.3/client-extras.jar For clarification, I'm modding minecraft version 1.16.3, this path may change a bit in the future depending on future forge updates. Follow whatever path is necessary. The .gradle folder is a hidden folder, press command + shift + dot, all at the same time to show hidden files. Lastly, the client-extras.jar is unable to be opened by the archive utility. I copied it to my desktop, erased the .jar extension and added the .zip extension instead, then I unzipped it with the archive utility. The loot table information I was looking for was in the unzipped file at client-extras/data/minecraft/loot_tables/blocks To create your custom vanilla loot tables, please refer to the answer at https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/74709-1144-replace-vanilla-loot-table/ Happy modding.

I have been trying to figure out how to add custom vanilla loot tables to my mod. I found this link https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/74709-1144-replace-vanilla-loot-table/ which gives an example of how to replace coal_ore.json to do so. My question is, how do I find out the names of the json files I need to replace? How do I figure out that I need to replace coal_ore.json? What if I want to replace emerald or wheat or something. I can guess, but is there an archive of these so I can know for sure? Thank you kindly,
