"system": "CoC7",
"label": "Monsters",
"path": "./packs/monsters.db",
"type": "Actor",
"private": false,
"flags": {}
},

"name": "my-custom-items",
"system": "CoC7",
"label": "My Custom Items",
"path": "./packs/items.db",
"type": "Item",
"private": false,
"flags": {}
}
]
}

type is generally used for these.
