Installing Datapacks

Add new advancements, structures, and functions without mods.


What is a Datapack?

Datapacks are like lightweight mods that run on Vanilla Minecraft. They can change recipes, loot tables, and add new mechanics.

Installation Steps

  1. Download your desired datapack (usually a .zip file). Do not unzip it unless instructed.
  2. Log in to the RYN Host Panel.
  3. Go to "File Manager".
  4. Open your world folder (default: world).
  5. Open the datapacks folder inside it.
  6. Upload the .zip file here.
  7. Restart the server (or run /reload if the server is running, though restart is safer).

Verifying Installation

Run the command /datapack list in-game. You should see your new datapack listed in green.

If it is listed in red, it may be incompatible with your version.
