Overrides

Type: array of string
Example: ["TOWER", "ROOMS"]

Overrides the specified settings instead of merging from inherited dungeon settings.

Possible values come from the SettingsType enum and include the following values as text strings.

• TOWER
• LOOTRULES
• SECRETS
• ROOMS
• THEMES

Example

As an example, by default, when a dungeon settings definition inherits or contains multiple loot tables, it will try to merge them, providing all of the loot from all loot rules across all chests for each loot type. The override

Given the dungeon definition below, the dungeon will generate with only a single wheat seed in every chest.

{
  "name" : "dungeon:builtin_ice",
  "exclusive" : true,
  "overrides": ["LOOTRULES", "THEMES"],
  "inherit" : [
    "theme:ice",
    "segments:chests_increasing",
    "rooms:nice",
    "demo:loot"
  ],
  "criteria" : {},
  "tower": {
    "type": "HOLE",
    "inherit": [
      "theme:ice"
    ]
  },
  "loot_rules" : [
    {
      "level" : [0,1,2,3,4],
      "loot" : [
        {"data" : {"name" : "minecraft:wheat_seeds"}, "weight" : 1}
      ],
      "each" : true,
      "quantity" : 1
    }
  ]
}

The loot will appear in every chest because the it is defined for every floor ("level" : [0,1,2,3,4],).

The loot will only contain wheat seeds because the top-level loot_rules definition overrides the inherited loot rules from demo:loot. Any loot tables loaded from demo:loot are discarded, whereas the additional loot_rules are preserved and their items will appear in chests throughout the dungeon.
