Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with the Data API Data Pack?
Run /function dev:settings or /function settings:data_api to summon the settings book, which is your main reference for the pack's features. From there, toggle developer mode with /function gamerule:data_api/developer_mode to unlock the full toolset.
How do I turn on developer mode?
Run the function /function gamerule:data_api/developer_mode to toggle it on or off. Developer mode needs to be active before most of the pack's customization features will work properly.
How do I make an item fireproof with this pack?
Add the pack's fireproof NBT tag to the item's data using the custom NBT tags the pack provides. The settings book lists the exact tag names for fireproofing and the other item customization options.
How do I detect a right-click on a custom item?
Use the pack's right-click detection NBT tag on the item, which lets a function run when a player right-clicks while holding it. Check the settings book for the exact tag syntax.
