Do datapacks have to list every single attribute of a type? Question
When modifying the configuration of a type in Minecraft with datapacks, does the datapack have to override every single attribute of that type, or will Minecraft use the defaults of a type if they are not specified in the datapack?
For instance, I want to override two or three properties of the Minecraft overworld using dimension_type (data/minecraft/dimension_type/overworld.json). Do I have to list every single attribute of dimension_type, or does it suffice to only specify a value for one attribute, and thereby use the defaults for the rest?
If a file exists in multiple data packs only the file in the last data pack is used. This is often referred to this file overriding the files in the earlier packs.
This means that overriding types in datapacks don't create a chain of inheritance, but it is unclear to me if the selected pack's type specification inherits from the default specification in Minecraft.
