Create Create Dreams N’ Desires No Diamond Recipes Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to delete my world and start over to use this data pack?
No, you can add this data pack to an existing world at any time. The recipe removal takes effect immediately, but any diamond shards you've already crafted will remain in your inventory or storage.
What should I do with diamond shards I already have before installing this?
You can keep them or use them up—the data pack only prevents new shards from being crafted going forward. If you want a fresh challenge, consider removing them from your inventory or storage before activating the pack.
Can I still get diamonds from mining or other sources?
Yes, this data pack only removes the crafting recipe for diamond shards. You can still find diamonds through normal mining, loot, or any other mod recipes that produce them.
Will this break my existing Create: Dreams n' Desires machines or setups?
No, the data pack only removes one recipe and leaves all other mod features untouched. Your factories and contraptions will work exactly as before.
How do I know if the data pack is actually working?
Try opening a crafting table or your mod's crafting interface and search for the diamond shard recipe—it should not appear. If you see it, check that the data pack file is properly placed in your datapacks folder and that you've reloaded or restarted your world.
Can I use this data pack with other mods or data packs?
Yes, this data pack is designed to work alongside other mods and data packs. If you experience conflicts, check that no other pack is trying to modify the same recipe.
What if I change my mind and want diamond shards back?
Simply remove the data pack file from your datapacks folder and reload your world. The recipe will become available again.
Does this affect multiplayer servers?
Yes, if you add this data pack to a server's world folder, it will apply to all players on that server. Make sure all players know the recipe is disabled so they don't waste time trying to craft shards.
Will this data pack work if I'm using a modpack launcher?
It depends on your launcher's data pack folder location. Most launchers have a dedicated datapacks folder within the world save—check your launcher's documentation or place the file there, then restart your game.
Are there alternative ways to get the items that diamond shards normally produce?
That depends on your modpack and other installed mods. Check the Create: Dreams n' Desires documentation or other mod recipes to find alternative crafting paths for items you need.
