# Pack Overlays

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is for expert resourcepacks artists.
{% endhint %}

Vanilla overlays are supported by ItemsAdder.

You can create your own `pack.mcmeta` and put your `overlays` entries there.\
ItemsAdder will merge them all into the resulting **pack.mcmeta** of your pack `.zip` file.
