Installing Datapacks

Datapacks allow you to modify gameplay without needing to install mods, or using a custom server.

Step 1: Finding the datapacks

First select the data packs you want installed on the server, use a trusted site like Modrinth and pick the ones you want to install. Download the datapack and ensure it is zipped.

Step 2: Upload the Zip

Head over to your server’s dashboard and visit the File Manager. From the File Manager go into the world folder > datapacks folder. From there upload the zip by dragging it onto the page. You will be prompted to extract the zip - click “Extract”.

Step 3: Done ✅

Once you have followed these two steps, you should have the datapack installed on your server!

Note:

This method does not reset the world. If your data pack generates a custom terrain, it will merge onto your preexisting world. This means there will be a visible border where the new terrain starts, especially with major terrain changes (like a mountain suddenly starting).

It is recommended to reset your world after committing major data pack changes to ensure that all mods/items don’t cause issues.
