Installation Guide

Step 1: Download the datapack

Download the datapack file(it should be a .zip archive, do not extract it!).

Step 2: Install into the world

  • First method(new world) 1) Create new world 2) Go to the “More” tab 3) Click "Data Packs" then "Open Pack Folder"

  • Second method(an existing world) 1) Launch Minecraft 2) Go to Singleplayer 3) Select your world 4) Click Edit → Open World Folder 5) Find the "datapacks" folder

Step 3: Install the datapack

Move the downloaded .zip file into the folder(make sure the file stays zipped)

Extra

If something isn't working, double-check the following:

  • Does the data pack version match the Minecraft version?
  • Is the data pack installed in the correct folder (not just in .minecraft)?
  • Did you re-enter the world after installation?

If any of these are missing, the datapack may not work as expected.
