How to Install the Data Pack and Resource Pack

World and Directory Setup

The pack file must be placed into two separate directories so that both the backend spawning logic and the visual textures load correctly into your game.

1. Open your Minecraft root directory (often .minecraft).

2. Navigate to your specific world save folder located inside the saves directory.

3. Open the datapacks folder inside that world save.

4. Place the pack file directly into this datapacks folder.

5. Return to the main .minecraft directory and open the resourcepacks folder.

6. Place a duplicate copy of the same pack file into your resourcepacks directory.

Enabling Assets In-Game

1. Launch Minecraft and select Options from the title screen.

2. Click on Resource Packs.

3. Find the pack in the available list on the left side and click the arrow button to move it to the active list on the right.

4. Click Done to reload the game's assets.

5. Enter your world to ensure the data pack mechanics and custom bird models are fully functioning.
