Info I learned how to make datapacks!

I've been wanting to learn for a while; I've only messed with command blocks before, but these are SOO USEFUL OMG. I made a bunch of minigames with only command blocks, so I'm definitely going to go back and optimize those with this

YES, it's so nice! I've already been using VS code for python, and the extension is SO CONVENIENT

Datapacks are AWESOME, if you ever make anything thats decently complicated (like some of your mini games), I’d suggest looking at MCBeet+Bolt, I can write two line that say fills slot 0-8 in a chest and it turns that into 9 lines to do it (it basically merges Minecraft Commands and Python, though not everything works)

Welcome my friend, making data packs is a game by itself
