I had an issue with TruePVE a while back where players couldn't light fireworks with a torch. It turned out that TruePVE was preventing them from "damaging" the fireworks and I edited the config "traps" section and that fixed that issue. Now I found out that the same is occuring with Sky Lanterns. I've edit the config again but still no go. Please look at the below config and tell me if you see anything wrong or have any suggestions:

I found another thread that showed a player making a section like this:

    {
      "name": "chinesenewyear",
      "members": "sky_lantern, skylantern.deployed, skylantern.skylantern.green, skylantern.skylantern.red, skylantern.skylantern.orange, skylantern.skylantern.purple",
      "exclusions": ""
    }

That worked, but only on the sky_lantern item and none of the color variants.

The skylantern shortname is skylantern. The color variants are correct.

Sky Lantern

skylantern

A beautiful sky lantern. Can be launched in any direction. Has one inventory slot. Can be Ignited with a lit torch.

I know the names are correct but the color variants won't light like the non-colored one: "That worked, but only on the sky_lantern item and none of the color variants."

you don't need fireworks in the traps group anymore with the new Ignore Firework Damage option allowing it when set true. firework rules are ignored when this option is true too

    {
      "name": "chinesenewyear",
      "members": "SkyLantern",
      "exclusions": ""
    }

this should be all you need. if it does not work then use /tpve_prod on the entity. this will show type and prefab. add the type to the entity group. prefab should only be added when you want to target specific prefabs within a type, or when a type inherits another type. such as with ScientistNPC inheriting NPCPlayer.

Changing the Members line fixed the issue.

i see you have SkyLantern under dispensers already, which is from the default config.
are you sure another plugin isn't interfering? that alone should've allowed the damage just as chinesenewyear does

I fixed it already by changing the name as you wrote it above.
