Certified Datapack Tutorial Moment

[@kurjiano]

When i do /reload it just ses Reloading! can u help me

[@humris6699]

It might be that u havent saved the datapack u can do this by holding CTRL and pressing s hopefully this can help@@kurjiano

[@amandin.]

bro why didnt you tell about the 'datapack essentials' extension pack

[@nathiumgamer]

very useful, using this to make datapacks now. for how well you explain the setup you deserve more views tbh

[@mikeonthebox]

I'm a little bit confused as to how the arrow that was shoot from the bow gets detected, an arrow within a distance of 3 sounds like it could be an arrow coming towards us also.

[@AbsoluteZ3R0_]

Your channel will blow up one day, keep up the great work!

[@TheDeepSlate]

this geuninly is so in depth and so helpful lad, thank you

[@AlphaDango]

So Datapacks are just regular Minecraft commands executed every tick (except for the setup commands)? Pretty impressive what some people have achieved with that. And it also explains why some datapacks can produce huge amounts of lag. I think that I'll rather start with Fabric mods but really good video and explanation of datapacks.

[@Snowfro]

yuh

[@rogercounts]

Data packs can actually be less laggy

[@qSolid21_]

literally the best tutorial ever, thanks!

[@thatonecyaanite]

bro this is actually the most helpful data pack beginner tutorial i have ever seen. you deserve more than 2k subs man

[@TheeSlickShady]

Liked and subbed 🏆 excellent video Ty

[@_Goaty]

5:31 No Way! That's my old Mario Kart Custom track map, what a coincidence

[@Snowfro]

[@sain-MC]

7:43 what if you want a block to do something when u place it

[@Snowfro]

use the discord servers i mentioned toward the end of the video and ask there. They will give you the best answer. The links are in the description.

[@hi76]

can you make a video about the car datapack you used in the video?

[@mrcan5385]

Does anyone know how to fix this? My Reloading doesn't give me the spawned item no matter if i do /reload in gamechat and if i do /function namespace:give says it don't exist even though i have it. I already been checking in with that discord server and they have been telling to a few things but non of them are still working.

[@NikkyLmao]

For anyone wondering why datapack isn't working the main problem is the "minecraft" file and "ur own name" file isn't IN the "data" file ( I was struggeling and solved it by moving files like how i described)

[@Gilly2020]

ok so now i know how to make a cobweb bow, idk how to do anything else

[@brevinpalmes3742]

yeah exactly lmao

[@thekingsconquest]

when i try to run the give command in minecraft, it says command not found

[@thegamingsloth1950]

do i have to write out the hole command at 7:35?

[@GGerit]

if you want it to work press save all in VSC not just save

[@piegeon_]

pls can someone help i have a problem with the datapack helper plus it just doesn't work pls someone help

[@rifleorcagames]

wowwwwwwwwwwwww

[@SPOIDERMaen]

Can someone help me when i use the bow i dont makes the web

[@Tponczko]

My idea is that you have a cost to unlock and use weapons and armor Wood Teir would not let you use Wooden tools and Leather Armor until you have 64 Sticks in inventory and 5 Levels of XP Stone Teir would not let you use Stone Tools and Chain Armor until you have 32 Stone in Inventory and 10 levels of XP Gold Teir would not let you use Gold Tools and Gold Armor until you have 1 Gold Block and 20 levels of XP Iron Teir would not let you use Iron Tools and Iron Armor until you have 2 Iron Blocks and 30 Levels of XP Diamond Teir would not let you use Diamond Tools and Diamond Armor until you have 1 Diamond Block and 50 Levels of XP Netherite Teir would not let you use Nether Tools and Netherite Armor until you have 1 Netherite Block and 100 Levels of XP You can't get to the next tier without completing the one below it. If you die your tiers are removed and you have to start over but it gets more costly Every dieth your Wood Sticks go up by 64 and plus one level of XP, Stone goes up by 32 and 2 Levels of Xp, Gold goes up by 1 Block and 3 levels more XP, Iron goes up 2 blocks and 4 more levels of XP, Diamond by one block and 5 more levels of XP, and Netherire 1 more block and 6 more levels of XP. When you unlock it takes the item and XP from your inventory. Tested out Using Slowness 255 and Mineing 255 to make this kind of work. Just have not done anything like this. I believe it's possible. THink at 27 Deaths would be capped cant hold any more Sticks at 27 Deaths would be 1792 Sticks.

Can You Do A Tutorial To Make A Resource Pack For MC

There’s already a lot of good tutorials for that

@@Snowfro Oh

[@minnixd9166]

Can you give the screen recorder name or link please

[@Snowfro]

[@kurjiano]

when i do /reload it is so slow

[@Truth4TW]

Why aren't [ ] (one of the symbols) allowed in datapacks?

[@Snowfro]

Those symbols are called brackets, and they're used in different senarios

[@Truth4TW]

@@Snowfro Oh, yeah it's when I try to do for example: attribute @e[team=777] followed by the rest of the command in the tick or json mcfunction file; it won't work at all for some reason. I've downloaded a 1.20.1 pack template and it's probably corrupted. I just don't understand why they aren't allowed in the json and mcfunction files, including the colon.

[@DreamyBranch849]

why is mine going like this data/minecraft and yours are data minecraft

[@GearWorldofFantasy]

Hey j'ai une problème à chaque fois que je reload il n'y a pas de message et aucune commandes ne s'execute

[@hewumajerfloopman4079]

Est-ce que ça fonctionne quand vous faites /function ?

[@hewumajerfloopman4079]

Si ça fonctionne quand vous tapez /function #votre_namespace:load ou tick, mais ça fonctionne pas quand vous faites reload, je croix que la problème est que votre minecraft folder (l'un qui contient les .json) n'est pas dans la folder ''data''.

[@GearWorldofFantasy]

@@hewumajerfloopman4079 ok

[@ASaucyApple]

my datapack doesn't reload does anyone know why? (I figured out the problem)

[@AverageRNGHater]

For anyone on 1.20 the pack format number should be 15

thats absurd

[@Halix_4]

I fix the datapack when you shoot the arrow it will repeatly replace it and never be broken unless you pick up it anyways jsut add this code execute at @e[tag=web_arrow,nbt={inGround:1b}] run kill @e[tag=web_arrow,nbt={inGround:1b}]
