 * The root object.
 * Optional. Whether or not contents of this tag should completely replace tag contents from different lower priority data packs with the same resource location. When  the tag's content is appended to the contents of the higher priority data packs, instead. Defaults to.
 * : A list of mix and match of object names and tag names. For tags, recursive reference is possible, but a circular reference causes a loading failure.
 * : An object's resource location in the form.
 * : ID of another tag of the same type in the form.
 * : An entry with additional options. (1.16.2+)
 * : A string in one of the string formats above.
 * : Whether or not loading this tag should fail if this entry is not found, true by default (also for the string entries).
