I must admit: I know people say "this will replace mods". Honestly? It works *great* with mods! I've created a couple of small mods for private use and for fun and using the datapack system is way easier than trying to implement something yourself. A custom dimension? All I had to code in was a portal. The dimension could be datapack driven, even with modded blocks it will still work! It's honestly really hand on the modding side too, makes it less painful to use. Though honestly I want to tinker with the enchantment system. Always wanted to try an enchantment that gave swords some sort of 'blocking' ability of sorts.

[@conure512]

I know there are a lot of mods that are repackaged just directly from datapacks, so yeah, that's a great point! I don't think datapacks will ever REPLACE mods (especially mods that are performance optimizers, shaders, etc) but I LOVE this idea that one day they'll basically BECOME like their own type of mod. It feels like we're getting closer and closer to that every day.

[@maksymiliankossakowski-lan6978]

The only thing they need to add is to add custom variants for all the mobs. Imagine we could add different skins for every mob in the game. The only thing they should change is to add that we can change textures with tags. Snowy creepers, mummy zombies and jungle skeletons etc. I would love that

[@conure512]

@@conure512 My hope was data-driven villager variants, which technically we are getting with trades, to some extent, but I want the ability to have custom textures too. It'd make populating a map with NPCs so much simpler and diverse

[@Pacca64]

Very excited about this. Wondering if they'll add more functionality as it goes on. Got really excited about new curses, made a 'fragile' curse and a 'flammable' curse (the former increases the amount of item damage taken, up to +10 extra damage at level 10, the latter uses the attribute for fire protection to INCREASE the time spent on fire). Wanted to make a vampire life steal enchant too, but we still don't have easy access to healing the player for small amounts, guess this is still datapacking x3 The new ability to check when we're wearing/holding an item and have LoS to the sky is really cool tho, could make a cursed 'undead' item that sets the player on fire in the daytime, just like other undead.

[@UnHommeBiza]

[@CreatorProductionsOriginal]

Ngl, the only reason I can see why they are making datapacks amazing other than to just make making them great and them to compete with mods, is that maybe, just maybe, bedrock addons work kinda like datapacks, and they are doing these changes to make bedrock addons better and capable of more alongside the added bonus for those from the datapack community But I think it’s just that someone they hired for 1.21 was a datapacker and now they are pitching all their ideas to make datepacks better to Mojang lol

[@childish4487]

I think it's also for mojang to do rapid prototyping of new enchantments and things. They should be able to just quickly mess around with several ideas without having to add it to the game proper.

[@CreatorProductionsOriginal]

@@childish4487 Oooooo, now that’s a great theory! I hope it is that because that would mean we could be getting even more enchantments in the game Imagine if they allowed custom potion effects next lol, crazy they didn’t do that since they added 4 potions and only 3 enchantments Also, now that you pinched that idea, the Wind Burst enchantment could have been made that way When player hurts entity, summon wind burst y’know

[@bloosix]

I think they're trying to make datapacks the "mods" of mc. They did say they were going to add an official modding API, but maybe instead they're just going to make datapacks the new mods.

[@phantasiadiedtragically]

I really hope they add some sort of tag for enchantments that makes it where they're invisible, like they don't show up in the tooltip alongside other enchantments and don't cause an enchantment glow unless there's other enchantments that do. That way you can have inherent effects on enchantable items that use enchantments but don't look weird

[@Satwr]

That already works, doesn't it? When adding enchantments, you can choose whether the tooltip should be displayed for each individual enchantment or not... but maybe I misunderstood when I read the changelog...

[@halyoalex8942]

Potion of explode yourself

[@Mr_Mimestamp]

I’m not sure what else I’d want from datapacks next. It’d be really nice to incorporate custom models or item textures so we didn’t need to rely on additional resource packs to make custom items look different. All of these changes seem to be helping the creation of custom items, but changing how an item looks is the biggest thing we’re missing. (Unless there’s some other method I’m unaware of.)

[@conure512]

I am of the opinion that you should be able to just absorb a resource pack into a datapack. The datapack would have a "data" folder and an "assets" folder, and the pack.mcmeta would specify the format for both. Of course each would also be able to exist on its own still, but it would be wonderful to be able to merge them. It might be a bit weird though because resource packs are strictly client-side, so a server with a data/resource pack would have to force all connecting clients to reload their textures, which is currently only accomplished by an external download. Idk, im just thinking out loud at this point lol

[@Mr_Mimestamp]

@@conure512 Oh, that’s a good point, I’m not sure how servers would go about it. I’m pretty sure servers can have the option to force users to accept a resource pack, or else the player won’t be let into the server. But that gets confusing when it comes to multiple datapacks, and reloading, and if you want to accept some but not others.

[@TheiBunny]

I've wanted this for a while - and only wanted it more with the new components structure... honestly the way I'd wanna see it implemented is just as component called "item_model" or something that accepts a namespaced id for an existing item model; then it uses that item's model .json (damage/state/custom model data predicates, layers, overrides, etc...) as well as any special properties of the referenced model that would usually only apply to the specific item (such as the tint color indexing from the dyed colour value for dyeable armor) also being applied to the custom item too, even if retextured - as if that were the item being retextured, even though it isn't. but for simpler things like sprite-swaps; it means you wouldn't need a resource pack to make a snowball look like a brick for example...

[@kyleyoung2464]

Custom paintings was cool too, but im sad we didnt get custom disks yet.

[@VitustheThird]

[@captainphoton1693]

If calling function is so useful. Why haven't they already made a calling function for any item in hand witthe button of choice and if or if not in off hand? Same for just clicking on blocks.

[@technicolorskies5432]

One thing I would love to see for datapacks is custom HUD elements. If you want to add a custom vital, such as thirst or temperature, there's no good way to show this value to the player. Sure, you can use a bossbar, but that only works in single player. You can use the experience bar / level counter, but then XP/enchanting breaks. The only reasonable option is just in chat with tellraw. What is this, 2014 DayZ?

[@kuronya3582]

You can just use custom symbols with action bar text

[@TechTheFeck]

There's so much that I'm imagining is possible now, but I have so many questions. Is it possible to have it so it uses the weapons trigger to check what enchantments your armor has, meaning if you have a custom armor set meant to give people a small boost in stats, it would only activate when you actively trigger it? Like an ability? Does using & releasing an item have seperate triggers? So you could set up animations for when you draw a bow, then have the arrow shot have it's own effect?

[@conure512]

On the armor thing: as far as I can tell, yes, it totally would be possible to have an armor piece affect your attacks. The enchantment only checks whether it's "properly equipped", meaning in your hand for a weapon or on your body for armor. So in theory you could use one of the triggers that affects how you attack and "properly equipped" could still mean an armor piece on your body. As for the other thing you asked, unfortunately I don't think so. There's not even really a trigger to detect right clicks, the closest thing we have is the one that detects when you fire a projectile. There are also some triggers dealing with drawing back a crossbow, but all you can do with those is change the draw speed and draw sound (those triggers actually don't let you run functions - which is something else that makes these enchantments really confusing, and I wanna cover that in more detail in the future).

[@TechTheFeck]

@@conure512 Eh, it was worth a shot. I have a feeling people are still gonna use this as a way to put custom items up a level. My biggest hopes are to see people making massive minecraft Servers like Jerracraft is working on, adding things like that all around.

I have noticed it, I've thought it, I've called it since the snapshot we could change the scale : Mojnag is slowly making commands the modding API we were promised a while ago. And I'm all hyped for that ! I am curently slowly learning how commands work by following slicedlime's tutorials on 1.19.3 but I'll need to catch up soon with the new components system and all that's happening now. Now, if somebody reading this comment could help me point some suggestions to Mojang, it would be very much appreciated (I'm playing on cracked version of the game so my feedbacks are as relevant to Mojang as a non player): 1) commands that have a setter form should have a *_"default"_* keyword. /tick rate has that in the form of the 20 ticks suggestion (I was tinkering with the new /attributes the other day on a test world and I changed my gravity, and I forgot what the default value was so I've set it to 0.4 but when I jump, things feel a bit off) eg: - /attribute @s minecraft:generic.gravity base set *_default_* - /setworld spawn *_default_* 2) there should be a way to detect when an entity dispawns or dies (perhaps in /execute?), so we can run commands on that entity's dispawn or death. (I'm trying to ddo something that involves unsetting a block when an arrow dispawns. I've heard there are tricks to detect an AI driven entity's (hostile or non hostile mobs) death, but I don't know if there is something similar when an entity dispawns after its natural lifetime. 3) the new potion effects (oozing, infection, air charged, weaving) should be beneficial to the player if the player _drinks_ the potion instead of being _splashed_ it : • potion effects that activate on death should activate when the player who drank them has 2 hearts left, partially except for infection which is always active when the player gets hit. • hostile entities summoned by the potion effect are friends with the player they spawned from (slimes, silverfishes) • after the activation of weaving (placing multiple cobwebs) the player that drank that potion should have an extra 15seconds of being able to walk freely inside cobwebs like a spider. Anyway, I'm glad that this video popped up in my recommendations. It seems like I have found a good ressource in learning how to learn commands and make datapacks. I have many ideas I want to work on and participate in the vanilla tweaks project but I don't know how or where to start exactly except slicedlime's outdated tutorials. +1 sub

[@jayo8907]

At around 5:45 you mention that the explosion doesn't do any damage to you; I believe this is because "attribute_to_user" is set to true in the enchantment file. This causes the explosions damage to be considered to be done by you directly as far as the games logic is concerned, and therefore you are immune to that damage, even though the damage type is of "minecraft:explosion". A similar effect can be seen if you try to do /damage to yourself but specify the damaging entity as yourself as well; you get an error message telling you that you are invulnerable to your own attacks

As far as I know this should automatically load the chunks at a very low level just to read/write the data (the wiki says this on the "Chunk" page in the "Java Edition chunk loading/Ticket types/Unknown ticket" section). So to store something like Snowiness of a Snow block at coords 8 6 -18, you could make a special dimension called something like example:block_data, put a tile entity there (like a structure block for its integer values), then use something like /execute in example:block_data run data modify block 8 6 -18 sizeX set value 6. For arbitrary data you could use a chest with an item with a custom_data component

@@kronostitananthem I suppose that would work, but I think you could achieve what you're going for by just saving stuff to Storage lol. Although, I'm pretty sure that's not what this comment was saying - they were probably referring to fully custom blocks via datapacks, which is something that appears to be on the horizon given recent changes.

is it possible to combine right click detection with the new enchantments?

Sure, you can add the food component on top of the enchantments

I'm a complete layman on the subject Mods and Datapacks, soooo can someone explain me whats the difference?

[@conure512]

Datapacks are just folders or .zip files containing data which the vanilla game is programmed to read. They're basically officially-supported alterations to the game, which are server-side only so they require no client compliance. Mods are changes someone has made to the game's base code. They're a much broader subject and can take lots of different forms, but the key distinction is that they aren't officially supported by Mojang. As a result, datapacks will probably never be able to do EVERYTHING that's covered under the wide umbrella of mods, but every time a new datapack feature is added, that's just one more thing that you no longer require unofficial mods to accomplish.

[@HiginioMendozaIII]

@@conure512 As Mojang continues to expand the functionality of datapacks, the line between what can be achieved with datapacks versus mods becomes more nuanced. Each new feature added to datapacks reduces the need for certain mods, allowing for more powerful and flexible customization's within the vanilla framework, the future for datapacks seems pretty damn exciting.

With data driven enchantments, I'm starting to get my hopes up for data driven blocks. Please Minecraft gods, grant us the ability to make custom blocks.

[@slowfreq]

Yeah they probably do want datapacks to replace mods. I'm surprised the game still even has mod functionality with how authoritarian Mojang are now.

[@conure512]

Mods will always be possible through third parties, no matter how much they crack down. Modders are dilligent. I think they are aware of this and they've just accepted it lol
