How to Change Resource Pack and Data Pack Load Order

In Minecraft, the vertical order of your active packs determines which files override others—packs higher on the list take priority over packs below them. Draggable Lists lets you adjust this load order directly with your mouse instead of clicking individual arrow buttons.

Reordering Resource Packs

1. Open the game menu, go to Options, and select Resource Packs.

2. Move any packs you want to activate into the right-hand column.

3. Notice that the default vanilla up and down arrows are hidden over the pack icons to keep the view clear.

4. Click and hold the left mouse button anywhere on the pack entry you want to prioritize or lower.

5. Drag the entry vertically up or down. Adjacent rows will smoothly slide out of the way to preview the exact slot where your pack will land.

6. Release the left mouse button to drop the pack into its new position, then click Done to reload your assets.

Reordering Data Packs During World Creation

1. From the Singleplayer menu, begin creating a new world and open the Data Packs selection screen.

2. Click and hold the left mouse button on an active data pack in the selected column.

3. Drag the pack up or down until the surrounding rows part at your desired load position.

4. Release the mouse button to lock in the priority order before generating your world.
