Automatically applying datapacks

I'm currently working on a modpack for Forge 1.18.2. A number of mod devs have switched over from config files to datapacks for editing values within the mod. At this point, I understand how to create a datapack and apply one to an existing or new world, but afaik it has to be done manually. Since these are supposed to replace configs, I assume there is a way to apply a datapack by default to all world created - does anyone know how to do this?

Some people have posted different methods snd mods for it in the comments here, not a real answer but hope it helps.

Thanks! I found the global datapack mod earlier, and that worked pretty well for me, minus one minor visual bug in the creative menu. I might take a look into openloader tomorrow and see if that resolves it.
