Data Packs

  • Data packs are custom content packages that modify game mechanics, recipes, and features without requiring mods. They work by altering the in-game data, such as advancements, loot tables, or structures, using JSON and functions.

Resource Packs

  • Resource packs change the visual and audio elements of the game, like textures, sounds, and fonts. They focus on aesthetics while data packs handle mechanics and functionality, often complementing each other for a cohesive custom experience.
