Installing Datapacks

Installing on Singleplayer

  • Select the world you want to install the data pack for, click on "Edit", then "Open world folder".
  • Open the folder named datapacks, and put the data pack into it. It should be a .zip file or directory.
  • Type /reload (if you have enabled cheats) or press F3 + T if you are in the world during the installation.
  • If the data pack has a correct format, it would be enabled in the world.
    • If you have enabled cheats, you can verify by typing /datapack list enabled and find an entry named [file/your data pack file/directory name].
    • If it doesn't work then reload minecraft.

Installing on a Server

  • Download the data pack. It should be a .zip file or directory.
  • Open your server folder, then open the folder of the world you wish to install the data pack in (default: world).
  • Put the data pack into a folder named datapacks.
  • Type /reload from the console or as a level 3 operator if the server was running during the installation.
  • If the data pack has a correct format, it would be enabled on the server. You can verify by typing /datapack list enabled from the console or as a level 3 operator and find an entry named [file/your data pack file/directory name].
