Not Enough Packs

NOT ENOUGH PACKS

This mod allows you to overcome some of the short comings of Fabric API’s mod resource and datapack handling.

Have you ever wanted to do something like

• Have an addon mod override a texture or block model of a parent mod
• Have an addon mod override a recipe of a parent mod

With Fabric API, you can’t reliably do this. It creates one “big ball of mud” resource/datapack for all mods.
There is no guarantee in which order they will be asked for files.
In fact, the order is “random” because of the way it is implemented.

This mod “explodes” the resource and datapack out so that each individual mod is visible. This allows you to order them how you like.

Additionally there is an option (turned off by default) to automatically order mods by dependency.
This involves more invasive changes to Fabric and Minecraft to preserve the ordering.

This mod does not change any of the other rules.
Once the resource pack list has been generated for the first time, the order is stored/retrieved from options.txt.
For data packs the order is stored in the saved data of the world.
