CoreBound System
CoreBound System is the core dependency datapack used by all CoreBound modules.
Its primary purpose is to provide a common framework for:
- Minecraft version detection
- First-join player initialization
- Shared storage values
- Global setup routines
- Datapack compatibility management
- Common uninstall procedures
By centralizing these systems, individual CoreBound modules can remain lightweight and only need to contain gameplay-specific logic.
Features
Automatic Version Detection
CoreBound detects the world's Minecraft DataVersion during setup and stores it in a scoreboard.
This allows dependent datapacks to automatically load the correct functions for:
- Minecraft 1.21 to 1.21.11
- Minecraft 26.1 to 26.1.2
Unsupported versions are automatically reported to server operators.
First Join Detection
CoreBound continuously checks for players who have not yet been initialized.
When a new player joins:
- The player receives the
corebound.init tag.
- A setup notification is displayed.
- CoreBound executes the module bootstrap sequence.
- Dependent datapacks can perform their own player setup routines.
This allows every module to reliably configure new players without duplicating join-detection logic.
Shared Storage
CoreBound exposes storage values that other datapacks can check to verify that the core system is installed and running.
Example:
data get storage corebound:core loaded
This allows dependent datapacks to safely detect CoreBound before executing version-specific logic.
Version Routing
Instead of every datapack maintaining its own version checks, CoreBound acts as a central dispatcher.
Example:
execute if score #ver mc_ver matches 4671 run function corebound:v1_21_11
Dependent modules can provide version-specific functions and allow CoreBound to route execution automatically.
Installation
Place the datapack inside your world's datapacks folder:
world/datapacks/corebound
Reload the datapacks:
/reload
CoreBound will automatically:
- Create required scoreboards
- Detect Minecraft version
- Register storage values
- Run module initialization
Uninstallation
CoreBound includes a cleanup routine that removes:
- Scoreboards
- Tags
- Storage entries
Run:
/function corebound:uninstall
before removing the datapack from the world.
