Datapacks

Datapacks live inside a world#

A datapack uses Minecraft’s built-in data system for recipes, functions, loot, advancements or world generation. It does not require Fabric unless its own instructions say so.

1. 1
   Read the datapack’s supported Minecraft versions and install timing.
2. 2
   Stop the server and make a backup.
3. 3
   In Crafty’s file manager, identify the active world name from server.properties (level-name).
4. 4
   Open that world folder, then datapacks.
5. 5
   Upload the pack’s .zip or folder exactly as its author instructs. Do not create an extra nested folder.
6. 6
   Start the server and run the list command in Crafty’s console.

World-generation datapacks may need to be present before creating the world. Others affect only new chunks—areas nobody has generated yet. Removing a world-generation pack later can damage or sharply change terrain boundaries.
