How to Pair the Resource Pack with the Recipe Data Pack

Understanding the Data Pack Pairing

While the resource pack handles textures, icons, and language renames, it is designed to pair directly with a companion data pack that modifies crafting recipes. This combination ensures that vehicles looking like Create machinery also require actual gears and metal components to build.

Activating the Companion Data Pack

1. From the title screen, select Singleplayer.

2. Choose your world and click Edit, followed by Open World Folder (or click Data Packs during new world creation).

3. Open the datapacks folder inside the world directory.

4. Place the companion data pack file into this folder.

5. If already in-game with cheats enabled, type /reload in chat to refresh all world data.

Verifying Crafting Recipes

Open a crafting table to confirm the integration:

1. Check the recipes for basic aircraft construction components, engines, and hulls.

2. Crafting trees will now require gears and metal materials instead of standard generic items.

3. The finished parts will visually match the inputs you used, providing a seamless transition between your factory resources and your flying fleet.
