I wanted the recipe for my custom weapon to be unlocked when obtained a flint, however it just doesnt work for some reason. I am very certain it works properly due to me being able to obtain both the recipe and the advancement manually by command.

I want to make a custom advancment whcih activates when player goes 20 blocks underwater..

i want all spawn eggs to go one lower in the menu so its centered but i'm not sure how
i want them all to keep their parent advancement

I'm trying to see if there's an item that triggers the item_used_on_block advancement on all/most blocks, but doesn't:

place any blocks
creates any new entities
changes the block's state
only allow interactions on a specific block state

So far I've got these items that match most rules the best:
Command/Test/Jigsaw blocks (can't be placed in survival)
Debug stick (doesn't provide advancement in survival)
Brush (can't disable brushing animation afaik)
Compass (can't disable recovery compass recipe w/o disabling gameplay)
Is the command block approach the best way to get block interaction to work even though it means my item won't work properly in creative?

Im not good with datapacks and was wondering how i would add custom smelting recipies
specifically adding the ability to smelt concrete powder into the same color stained glass
i had a datapack that did this but hasnt been updated
ive used misodes recipie generator to get this but dont know what to do with it
any help would be appreciated

i love the thing they tried to do at mojang, but i find it stupid how the masters dont give the maxed version of the enchant, i mean sure unb 2, fortune 2 and prot 3 i can live with that, but sharp and eff 3?
so, it sounds like an easy change, yet i dont really know where to go about that, also i dont know if this is easier done through a mod or datapack or maybe even through a resource pack so pls help

i've looked it up and ive checked the error i just dont know how to add an entity tag to this command
this is the command: 
execute as @a[nbt={RootVehicle:{Entity:{id:"#mounts_improved:all_mounts"}}}] run give @s minecraft:apple
it would work if i changed: "#mounts_improved:all_mounts" to: "minecraft:horse"
i want it so you get an apple (to test it) if you're on any animal with that entity tag

anyone knows how to make abilities with datapacks? such as for example a staff that summons troops to help you in fight or other players
(willing to do commissions)

Sup guys! 
I want to make a datapack which adds the Terminator like in Dream videos , and the first problem arose that every datapack which made the Armor stand walk (+ walking animations) and jumping , how do I make my own , so here's my question 
How do I make Armor stands walk like players and also have animation in the most lag free way
I might be asking for a lot but animations are optional and optimisation is the priority in my datapacks (not to end up like stellarity, lmao. I thought to use mannequins but it seems more harder so help me choose one

Does anyone know the snow layer properties/nbt tags/etc for all the layers of snow?
I want to have an entity(specifically a cow) to drop a layer of snow and if a layer of snow is already there,another layer will be added. 
I’m guessing that it’s not as simple as just having another layer added, so I’ll have to detect how many layers are in a current block and then add a layer. 
The idea is to retexture the snow layer as manure and wanting the manure to build up overtime if not harvested.

So i'm working on a system to input codes through interacting signs. I've made it work well with numbers by using scores, but I'm now trying to make the same system, with letters instead of numbers, and I was wondering if there was an easy way to translating score values to their corresponding letter (0 being A, 25 being Z).
The way I've made it work is as follows : 
In a sign : 
 {"score":{"name":"$sign_1","objective":"hb_red_forest"},"click_event":{"action":"run_command","command":"/function hb_redforest:red_forest/increment_digit {score:'$sign_1'}"}}
Each sign of the code (there's 4 signs) has their own score within my scoreboard (here, the score is $sign_1. The sign displays its own score, and calls 
increment_digit, precising a value for the macro in the function
In the function : 
$execute if score $(score) hb_red_forest matches 10.. run scoreboard players set $(score) hb_red_forest 0
$data modify block ~ ~ ~ front_text.messages[1] set value {"score":{"name":"$(score)","objective":"hb_red_forest"},"click_event":{"action":"run_command","command":"/function hb_redforest:red_forest/increment_digit {score:'$(score)'}"}}```
When the function is called, it adds one to the sign's score, until it reaches 9, after what it goes back to 0. Each time the function is called by the sign, its content is updated with the new score

So I wanted to do something similar, but using letters, and the only way I'm seeing how to do that is to write something like
``execute if score $sign_letter1 hb_red_forest matches 0 run data modify block ~ ~ ~ front_text.message[1] set value {"text":"A"}`` 
and so on for all 26 letters, but I don't find that particularly aesthetic, and I'm not even sure it'd work well

Does anyone have any idea how I could make this work?

Hi, I would like to make each gold block in bastions less likely to appear, how could I do this? I was thinking that I could replace vanilla structure using the same folders than in the vanilla datapack, but I don't know exactly how to make the gold block less likely.

Just trying to increase stats on mobs and damage works but nothing else does (making mobs have increased max hp)

I'm trying to make a function run when player uses a bamboo stick, so i looked up some tutorials and told me to make a custom advancement in order to tell if the bamboo is being used but minecraft simply refuses to detect it, I need help.
Sorry for bad English

as the title. I guess its not a datapack in the traditional sense, but i dont know where else i would seek help. I needto enable it using the NBT data in level.dat, i know, but i add enabled features, and move the datapack from disabled to enabled, yet nothing... It says i cant enable it because
Pack 'minecart_improvements' cannot be enabled, since required flags are not enabled in this world: minecraft:minecart_improvements!

Hi there
So I'm making a datapack with different sorts of classes, with one of them being archer. There is tier 1, 2 and 3 for each class, and specifically for archer, i chose for the class to apply abilities to the current bow they're holding, by whenever they're holding down right click and shifting at the same time (with a bow in hand) it will make you choose the current ability for the bow.
One of the abilities are shooting a gravity arrow, but I have this one issue, I could imagine would become very annoying. So first, I'll describe what I need/what I've tried to do thus far; to make the arrow have that special gravity effect, I first need to tag it (is what I've atleast thought of so far). So I'm doing that by having an advancement roll when you have the specific scoreboard objective "archerAbility" set between 40 and 59, it will tag the nearest arrow with the tag "gravityArrow", and the gravity arrow will have the properties it needs. 
But if another players shoots within the vicinity/at the player, and that player too hasthe archerAbility between 40 and 59, it will also make their arrow the gravity arrow. 
Is there any way to fix this???

Hi! I don't know if this is possible, but I want to have cows use the bone meal effect to grow grass, simulating that their manure fertilizes the ground. Is this possible?

Hello i need help on making a datapack that can summon 100 maxed wolves(i got the needed command) whenever i pull the rod but i dont really have experience (Version 1.21)

This is an issue I've encountered a few times: 
Under certain circumstances which I'm having trouble characterizing fully, while processing a datapack, the game attempts to draw from the minecraft: registry even though as far as I can tell it is indicated that it should be looking in some other registry. If someone needs a more explicit pointer to when this happens, it seems to be associated with processing structures.
I've encountered this once before when setting biome tags that a structure generated in, and eventually worked around it by the terrible method of hardcoding an enormous list of biomes into the file rather than creating a custom biome tag.
This time it seems to have manifested while trying to find a structure:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unbound values in registry ResourceKey[minecraft:root / minecraft:worldgen/structure]: [torment:obsid_dungeon]
Probably I'm being stupid and there's a syntax error I didn't see. Anyone know how to actually fix this issue?

I will provide the pack to help reproduce momentarily.

How can I quickly cancel any fall damage that has accumulated during a player's fall? This would be useful for multiple spells and mechanics in my datapack, but most notably for a teleport spell that currently still deals fall damage if you teleport to the ground while falling.

Is it possible to remove the end rod particles from spawning?

Currently I am building a mini game where I am the host and control how players move I was planning on using buttons in chat based on there platform but if the prompt pops up every time that would ruin the video I plan I making this for is there anyway to disable this

Hello! I have been trying to add a custom biome to the game, and the biome works fine, but I can't get it to generate. I know there is a file which contains all of the biomes and how they generate, but how can I get this file? I can't seem to find it in the data folder for the vanilla datapack

i have cmd blocks running constantly that have the particle cmd in them, and i /forceloaded the chunks so they would work, but when i leave the area the particles dont work, apparently this is because particles are client side not server side, how tf do i fix this? thank you

I’ve been using the mod Valkyrien Skies to build planes and stuff but the blocks are too heavy and I’m trying to change their mass through a data pack.  It isn’t working and I don’t know why.  I’m 99% sure the json is correct, so it is most likely the files.

I am working on custom dungeon generation for a datapack, and after learning how jigsaws work, it seems you can only guarantee one room in the dungeon, which is the anchor room. However, I want to guarantee multiple rooms (Ex: An entrance, and a boss room(.
I have a few ideas, but I want to know if there's a potentially better way of doing this. Here's my idea:

Make a dungeon w/ jigsaws like normal

However, make special "main path" rooms that are identical to the other rooms but point to the next "depth" pool of main rooms

Make identical copies of each "main path" room except their jigsaw exits into the next "depth" pool

each "depth" pool is the same as the previous depth, except it just contains a pool of "main path" rooms that are from the next depth pool

The last depth that I have set will contain armor stands. Then, the datapack randomly picks one of the armor stands to use /place to spawn the boss room. The rotation depending on which direction the armor stand is facing.


How does my idea sound? Again, if there is a better way, i'd love to hear it. If not, then how can I improve on the idea I have currently?

i want to make it so you can throw a rocket that then you ride on like the rush pearl from hypixel and then explodes when it hits the ground, i thought that the easiest way to do that probably was by making it so specific snowballs get turned into an arrow with a rocket model and then make it explode when it hits the ground. though i've already got the turning snowballs into arrows part done

Hi, I'm a total beginner trying to understand the basics of naming folders. I understand that in the data folder you can name a subfolder anything for a namespace, and if you don't it will default to the "minecraft" namespace. My question is, what should I be using for a namespace for these folders in the data folder. Is it kind of like categorizing sections of my datapack? How do y'all name for subfolders in the data folder? If I'm starting out with learning how to make custom structures, should I name this folder "structures"?

Horrifying, I know. Not sure what's going wrong and the logs it's spitting out are kind of incomprehensible.

Hello! I am making a scythe in minecraft and i want to give it some special moves like:

When you shift and right-click, you can make the scythe throwable(like in hypixel, murder mystery) and when you throw it, it turns into black matter. When it hits someone, it brings them to you.

Grants you infinite I speed when you hold it.


I really want to make more weapons like this but I don't (almost) have the skill (or luck).
So if someone sees this as interesting, please... I need this... or my server will kill me. Thank you.

I want to create a datapack that removes trees from the world, but I don't know how.

I'm in a 1.21.11 pre release, trying to make some relatively close fog always appear in a custom dimension. I added "minecraft:visual/fog_start_distance": 10, "minecraft:visual/cloud_fog_end_distance": 48, to the dimension type, and everything else seems to load properly, but I don't see any fog. Am I missing a step?

Hey, I'm making a pack that shows a series of titles to people when they first join.

I want to create a datapack that changes food crafts made with a furnace. For example, potatoes will turn into stone when cooked in a furnace. I haven't succeeded, but other items work perfectly.

Hello guys, I have an error using chunky command inside a datapack in a paper server, I set function-permission-level to 3 fut still dosen't work, any ideas?

Hi, I was playing around with the new attributes that are added to the snapshots and I can't seem to get the following to work:
I want to make a biome with a custom fog distance so that I can set the mood for an adventure map I'm making. I have been trying to figure out how it works but clearly I'm not up for it. I have used a template for a plains biome from a datapack generator and I can /fillbiome the new biome in no problem. Unfortunately once I add this:
  "attributes": {
    "minecraft:visual/fog_start_distance": {0.0,
    "minecraft:visual/fog_end_distance": 16.0,
  },

to the top of the json, relogging into the world tells me that there's an error in the selected data pack.
Alternatively I tried the following too (not that I'd know if either is correct)
  "attributes": {
    "minecraft:visual/fog_start_distance": {
        "modifier": "override",
        "argument": 0.0
    },
    "minecraft:visual/fog_end_distance": {
        "modifier": "override",
        "argument": 16.0
    },
  },

Any guidance on what I'm doing wrong?

i have this command which summons a particle at the players feet, but i want to make it so that it surrounds the player with the particles instead of just at their feet. Is something like that possible?

Hey so I'm trying to update 1.20.4 items to 1.20.6 and I usually gave each item a custom tag to run commands off of, however I can't use my former tags as well 1.20.5 removed NBT, how can I fix and rewrite a storable data executable?
Basically like lets say I hold a ruby battleaxe how can I detect that besides the model data, I wanna use a custom tag

I have a datapack question concerning with a arrows like shooting arrows were you look using functions and also summoning tipped arrows with commands and more stuff like that and

Hello!
I have a solid goal I am looking to achieve (short and long term), but I have no idea where to start! 
Short term goal:
I am trying to create multiple data packs each overhauling a single vanilla structure in the game. This also includes custom loot tables along with it. (Maybe another data pack to add custom items to those loot tables via custom gear made with command blocks).
Progress:
I have downloaded VS code (with the data pack helper extension), as well as looking up multiple YouTube tutorials (not understanding much). Today I was able to follow a tutorial verbatim and actually created a chest with a custom loot table using an online code generator and a YouTube guide. 
Question:
I am willing to put all my time into learning this. Do I need to take a JavaScript class? Or can I learn from a specific creator? How did you guys learn how to code and make data packs? Whenever people explain their code it all sounds like gibberish to me. Any resources or recommendations would help me out a ton.

So I am making a custom loot table and am attempting to add a nested loot table at the end of the main loot table, when I test them separately they BOTH work but when I try to nest it... it blows up. I am trying to nest this because I want to add legendary items in the future and I want all my custom chests to update without having to update every custom chest separately, been at this for like 20+ hours and am driving myself insane. Json is valid loot tables seem valid but nesting causes itself to blow up, im just about to give up and add the nested file to it manually (like 2k lines)

im using mcstacker but i just cant find how to make it give no buffs

Would anybody be able to help me resolve what is most likely a syntax error or dose of stupidity on my end for trying to generate a relatively simple custom dimension?
I think I've gotten the metadata pack format correct, I believe all the folders are properly layered. I think all the JSONs are valid. There's just somewhere where something isn't aligning as it should.
The datapack is recognized by the game, but in an error state that forces safemode to be enabled.

hello, im making a datapack and loading it through kubejs, where im trying to make certain When Dungeons Arise structures spawn in the JAVD: void dimension and certain structures in the End, I was able to get the end structures to load, but not the void dimension. I also tried to alternatively have them spawn in the nether instead of the void dimension, but they don't spawn in the nether, just the end.
All the structures from the overworld I wanted in the end managed to work so I'm not sure what the problem is and why it doesn't work for the end.
Alternatively does anyone have a similar data pack that puts these structures in other dimensions I can use as reference?

I'm running a datapack with large mountains and I want to keep ore distribution consistently some number or distribution offset from the surface, this way for example, gold can always be found 100 blocks from the surface, no matter if that surface is at sea level or at the top of a mountain.

I'm trying to make piglins spawn with my custom weapon (golden battleaxe), any ideas on how to do it?

Hello, i want to create my first datapack (i'm a beginner) and a few months ago i do a little achievement. Today, I realize that there is some extension used to simplify the process of creating a datapack. In my datapck i want to make advancements, a few items and structure. Also when i open my advancement made a few months ago VS Code foud 3 problems and i don't know how to resolve it :/. If someone can help me with my problems and can teach me how to properly do a datapack and use MC Datapack I will be very happy.
Disclaimer : I'm a french personn so if u want to use voice chat with me i can but speak slower than normally so i will be able to understand properly what do u say and be patient cause i'm a beginner in developping minecraft datapacks ^^
(I can send some screeshots if u need it and my mp are totally open)

Hello all. 
Normally I do surface features, but I'm trying to get more interesting features underground, and in this case, coral in underwater caves. However, I am running into frequent crashes.
What kind of placed feature setting(s) would work to get around the issue? I've tried environment scan, height maps, height ranges, checking target conditions, and am getting a little confused here, unfortunately.

Trying to get a command that can give the player their own head without needing to enter their name, something like /give @a player_head{SkullOwner:"@s"} but that doesn't work because that just gives a head belonging to @s

I cant get this working

Hi, I found this data pack and I want to turn the villager into a player and be able to put any skin I want on him. I want to have youtubers instead of villagers. Every time he gets an emerald, he becomes a VINDICATOR, and with a texture, he becomes a villager.

I customized this OP end stone datapack's loot table, but it isn't working. The end stone drops regular end stone. I needed to have this done by this Sunday, so I'm pretty stressed about it. I have no idea as to why it may be broken.

In short I want a placeable mob using some sort of item, and a solution I have is using spawn eggs, but I don't want the egg to work in spawners because that causes issues. Is such a thing possible? If not, are there any alternatives?

Hello !
I am making a Configured Feature and Placed feature file to spawn a new ore, and I want to make the ore spawn only in andesite, so I used in the placed feature file in the  "placement"  list  Json     {       "type": "block_predicate_filter",       "predicate":{         "type": "minecraft:matching_blocks",         "blocks": [           "minecraft:andesite"         ]       }     }
but it seems that the feature is tried to be generated on blocks that don't match, instead of only andesite, making the ore very rare, is there a way to fix this issue ?

Heya, im trying to get my pack to work but the newer versions from 1.21.9 onward dont use the correct overlay.

How do i detect at which entity the player is looking?

im trying to transform an item id into a translation string and id like to retrieve only the part after the minecraft: namespace (forgot what its called) to stitch it up using macros into something like item.minecraft.$(item_name) 
is this possible at all?

So basically Im trying to continue my custom dimension datapack and one error Im noticing is with the features. Whenever I try making a forest in specific- the features are sometimes placed on top of each other 💀 Like a tree on top of another tree 
Now the current tags im using to define my placed feature are rarity_filter, random_offset and in_square along with heightmap of WORLD_SURFACE_WG 😭 Pretty basic since most my focus was towards the structures but now this bug keeps on ruining everything so yeah. 
How exactly do I make the features NOT spawn on TOP of each other. I tried changing the heightmap to ocean floor, ocean_floor_wg, and also world_surface but no difference.

how do i do that?

i saw a post that said that you can do this with custom enchantments but i don't know how to use them and the post didn't show how to do it
