Datapak is an archive that puts it in a world folder. It changes the game without mods: new biomes, constructions, recipes, achievements, mechanics. A downloader like Fabric is not needed, and on the server, the date pack works even if the players have a normal game.

Datapacks are divided into three types:

  • change the world - Terralith, Tectonic, Incendium, Nullscape. They are placed only in a new world: they cannot be removed from the world later;
  • change mechanics - VeinMiner, Dynamic Lights, Spawn Animations, True Ending. They can also be added to an already created world;
  • add targets — BlazeandCave's Advancements Pack with thousands of achievements.

Many projects on Modrinth come out as both a datapack and a mod - the essence is the same, but the mod has settings that the datapack does not have.

How to install a datapack

To a new world. In creating the world, open the tab "Backets" and drag the archive out of the window. The date packs that change the world's generation are just like this.

Into the already created world. Place the archive in a folder datapacks inside the world folder: .minecraft/saves/<имя мира>/datapacks. Recipes, loot, achievements and features will be picked up by the command /reload. Everything related to world generation can only be done after re-entering the world or restarting the server.

To the server. Stop the server, put the archive in world/datapacks and run. It will show whether the datapack is turned on /datapack list enabled.

commands /reload and /datapack requires operator rights - in a single player game these are enabled cheats. More details, with screenshots of the paths, on the page «How to install a resource pack» - there about datapacks.

Terralith and Tectonic - a new world

Terralith Adds more than 95 biomes — realistic and slightly fabulous — and almost all vanilla biomes are redoing. It's built from regular blocks, so there's no need for players to put anything on the Terralith server. It is not possible to remove Terralith from the world, but to add an author to the existing world does not recommend a new world. mod version has settings and new types of world that date pack doesn't have.

Tectonic It changes the terrain: continents of thousands of blocks, islands, high mountains and oceans deep down to the depths of the deep shale. It is fully compatible with Terralith if both are fashionable. If both stand for date packs, you need to replace Tectonic. Terratonic is their general version.

Incendium and Nullscape - Nether and End

Incendium Neser redecorates eight new biomes, more than nine buildings — castles, shrines — over 25 items, mobs, and boss. It needs to be put into a new world or with the drop of Neser. With Amplified Nether is incompatible. The textures are provided by the optional Sparkles resource pack.

Nullscape Turns End into an alien world: altitude rises to 384 blocks, new biomes appear, and Ande remains deserted. It's just the new End. Most of the projects that change End are incompatible with Better End.

VeinMiner, Dynamic Lights and Spawn Animations - mechanics

VeinMiner He's got all the ore in his life with one blow. It works on the server side: players don't need to put anything on the vanilla server. The tool should be close to the block. Sets up by command /function veinminer:_config. There is an addition VeinMiner Enchantment - then only a tool with a special enchantment can dig with veins.

Dynamic Lights - a torch, a lamp or a luminous object in your hand illuminates everything around you. Light is set by vanilla blocks of light, so it works on a server without mod for players. The light jumps into blocks, and the sheaders who don't use vanilla light won't show it. For a single mod game, the author recommends a client style of LambDynamicLights. There's no 26.3 version yet.

Spawn Animations - hostile mobs, when spawned, dig out of the ground or appear with a cloud. Also server-based: players don’t need to install anything.

True Ending - a more difficult dragon

In the Kraut Dragon 300 health units instead of 200, damage depends on complexity, and attacks are larger: peak with shock wave, turn of fire balls, big laser and final phase. For the last 10% of health, the dragon is invulnerable until it goes down. For the boss's music, the datapack needs a separate resource pack -- it's already built into a mod version. The latest version is 26.1.2. How to defeat an ordinary dragon is written on the page. How to complete Minecraft.

How to make your own datapack without code

Datapack is an archive with JSON text files and .mcfunction. It takes a long time to write them by hand, and an error in one comma silently disables the entire package. JuxMC generators collect a ready-made archive:

  • your own crafting recipe - place the items in the cells of the workbench and indicate what comes out;
  • timer commands - the server itself executes commands once every N seconds, when the player logs in and when the world is loaded;
  • chest loot table - what is in the chest and with what chance;
  • your achievement — picture “New achievement!” and the datapack that issues it;
  • pixel art - a picture of blocks that is placed by the command /place.

Everyone gives away the archive, which remains to be put in a folder datapacks and write /reload.

Frequently asked questions

What is a datapack in Minecraft?

An archive with files that is placed in the world folder. It adds recipes, achievements, biomes, buildings and mechanics without mods and without a loader.

How to install a datapack?

To the new world - through “More” → “Data Packs” when creating a world. In an already created one - put the archive in a folder datapacks inside the world folder and write /reload. World generation datapacks are installed only in a new world.

Do players need to install anything if the datapack is on the server?

Not usually, the date pack works on a server. Exceptions are if the date pack needs a resource pack for its textures or music, like True Ending and Dungeons and Taverns.

How is a datapack different from a mod?

The date pack works in a normal game and only changes what the data files allow. The mode needs a downloader like Fabric or NeoForge, but it can add anything. Many projects come out both.

Is it possible to remove a datapack from the world?

Datapack mechanic or recipes - yes: turn it off with the command /datapack disable or remove the archive from the folder. A datapack that changed the generation of the world, like Terralith, cannot be removed without harm to the world.
