This module comes with 12 Default compendia:

To change the default setup, edit the module.json
file. All compendia are defined within the "packs" attribute beginning with line 10.
For example:
{
"packs": [
{
"name": "monsters",
"label": "Monsters",
"path": "packs/monsters.db",
"module": "my-shared-compendia",
"type": "Actor"
},
{
"name": "my-custom-items",
"label": "My Custom Items",
"path": "packs/items.db",
"module": "my-shared-compendia",
"type": "Item"
}
]
}
Note: There are no compendium Types for Classes, Feats, and Features in Foundry, so the Item
type is generally used for these.
There are no known dependencies, but using Compendium Folders is highly recommended.
Credit goes to stschoelzel for the initial module. I forked it, cleaned it up, and made it more suited to my own needs. Process explained by /u/solfolango on /r/FoundryVTT.
