Quick Datapack Testing Workflow

When experimenting with datapacks, use the Datapacks menu to enable and disable them without leaving your world. Open Options, click Datapacks, and toggle packs on or off as needed.

Iterative Development and Troubleshooting

If a datapack causes issues or you want to test how your world plays without it, simply disable it from the menu. Re-enable it just as easily when you're ready. This workflow is much faster than:

  • Exiting to the main menu
  • Editing world files
  • Reloading the world

You can compare gameplay with different datapack combinations in real-time, making it ideal for content creators testing custom content, players troubleshooting conflicts, or anyone fine-tuning their modpack experience. Changes take effect immediately, so you can see the impact of enabling or disabling datapacks without any downtime.
