Better Datapacks

Have you ever wanted to add blocks/items to minecraft, but have no idea how to code? Well, this mod is for you!

This mod currently supports adding blocks and items to the game. (Biomes can also be added to the 1.16.5 version)

I have many plans for the future, including: custom tile/block entities, custom entities, custom decoration blocks, and custom dimensions! (Just to name a few)

I am also working on being able to add blocks using datapacks from other mods, so this mod could eventually be an api of some sort. Another feature I am working on is the ability to create configs, so you can change data for other mods as well.

How to add stuff in version 0.0.1 (may change with version): 

In order to add stuff, you need to locate the json folder. If you already ran the game once, there should be one located at: minecraft directory/betterdatapacks/customdata/register.json. If not, just create that file there and put everything you need in it. An example:

{
  "blocks": [
    "block_name"
  ],

  "items": [
    "item_name"
  ]
}

The game needs to be restarted for the changes to take place

If you are playing on a server, the server plus everyone who joins needs to have the same json.

The server json goes here: server directory/world/datapacks/betterdatapacks/customdata/register.json
