Editor's note

At the beginning of this year, MCBBS shut down its website, which was a big blow to the development of vanilla mods. The loss of a large number of useful tutorials and work resources is one of them. What is more serious is that the ecology of the domestic data pack development field is inherently imperfect. After the forum, a symbol that can unify players from all walks of life, disappeared, this field fell into a state of complete disintegration. Sometimes it is difficult to find more comprehensive information to study, and it becomes even more difficult to find relevant communities for discussion. This is obviously not conducive to the development of data pack. In addition, Mojang has made major changes to the data pack and resource pack this year, and many of the old tutorials are no longer applicable to the new version. There are very few tutorials on the new version. As you can imagine, this will definitely make newcomers feel confused and confused, and will undoubtedly make the current situation of data pack development worse. It happened that the community put forward the need to write data pack development guidelines, so I wanted to take this opportunity to integrate relevant resources and try my best to collect the tutorial resources I know to give some reference and help to future data pack enthusiasts. By chance, I learned about the article "Data Pack Architecture" written by Xiao2. It collects more resources. Although this article was written earlier and quoted a lot of former MCBBS content, it can still greatly save my workload. After discussion, we decided to use this article as a template to fix missing links and add new version features, and this website was born. This document site is patched and expanded based on the original "data pack architecture". Specific changes include:

• Redirected the broken MCBBS link;
• The structure of the article has been fine-tuned and a practical section has been added. The content of this section is more focused on practical tutorials;
• Added new version related content.

However, this site is still not perfect yet. Due to my limited knowledge, the content of many sections is very little or even completely blank, and needs to be supplemented urgently. In addition, we were unable to find all the original MCBBS resources, and we had to delete the links that could not be restored. In addition, due to the rushed adaptation time, there must be imperfections or even errors in it, and I hope you will not hesitate to point them out. We welcome everyone to contribute relevant information to this site to help it improve day by day.

Anyway, I hope I can make a small contribution.
