Proper data/<namespace>/ folders so nothing conflicts with vanilla or other packs.

Expert FAQ

What is a Minecraft datapack?

A datapack is the official vanilla way to customize Minecraft — recipes, advancements, loot, functions, and world generation — without any mods. They work on any vanilla server and in singleplayer.

How is a datapack different from a mod or plugin?

Mods (Forge/Fabric) change the game engine; plugins (Spigot/Paper) need a plugin server; datapacks work in pure vanilla. For server owners who cannot install mods, datapacks are the safest customization.

Why do my hand-made datapacks fail to load?

Almost always the pack_format number in pack.mcmeta does not match your Minecraft version. The AI always generates the correct format for the version you target.

Can datapacks add new items or blocks?

Datapacks customize existing content and add mechanics through functions, recipes, and advancements. For brand-new blocks and items you want our mod maker or Bedrock addon maker instead.

Does this work on servers?

Yes — datapacks work on vanilla servers and most server software. They are ideal for servers running without plugins.
