Used for questions about server-side packs that add or change recipes, advancements, structures and more in Minecraft Java edition. Always use with the [minecraft-java-edition] tag.
Datapacks are .zip files or folders that are read by Minecraft Java edition to replace or add new:
- advancements
- loot tables
- structures
- crafting and smelting recipes
- block, entity, item, fluid and function tags
- functions (collections of commands that can be used instead of command blocks for recursion, better performance and more)
- predicates (collections of conditions that can be checked in commands and loot tables)
Please also use minecraft-java-edition in questions using this tag.
Please also use minecraft-commands if the question is about functions, but do not use minecraft-datapack if you just happen to use functions and the question would be the same with command blocks.
