*Common fixes for "things not working":*
-Make sure everything is saved!
-Namespaces and .mcfunction files *cannot* have capital letters or spaces.

-Make sure load.json and tick.json have the correct function name and namespace inside.

-Make sure everything is spelled correctly and there are no sneaky typos.

If the datapack doesn't show up in the list:
-Check pack.mcmeta.
-Make sure your file structures are all correct (E.G. datapacks/Datapack
-Make sure everything is saved.

Yes, this tutorial is still up to date as of 1.19! Just change pack format to 10 for 1.19.

I like how you use humor and actually teach us at the same time opposed to those monotone, humorless tutorials

[youtissoum]

finally someone who doesn't just show how to install a datapack

I've been looking for a video about how to make data packs for a long time, they're usually too hard to understand, or outdated, but I actually enjoyed watching this video with the clever jokes and the personality that was obviously well thought out and balanced between fun and educational, all I have to say is "bravo" this is an amazing video.

[mene]

dude you are SO underrated, your videos are clear and fun to watch! i was searching for some time someone like you that could explain commands and datapacks this clearly

[nilbogyt]

The perfect mix of humor and professionalism. You’re my fav YouTuber to go to when it comes to mc now

[GoQQmode]

That was nice that you used the same map for the intro

[dragonius]

The reason this is such a good video is that it's not monotonous, you actually sound happy to make the video (that and you make me pause the vid to read the text.. lol). Very awesome

[Necroxin]

This legit helped me out getting started far more than other videos I've seen! Huge help!

[ae-_ae]

You're legit my favorite youtuber rn, I thought datapacks were some hackerman shit, I didn't know it was literally just Minecraft commands. (basically)

[denkikaminari]

Ive been looking for a video about this for so long that wasnt either a different language or just too complicated and this one was fun and it worked, so Imma subscribe

I've watched this video like three or four times over the span of several years and every time it feels like I'm reachieving enlightenment. Thanks Mr. Imoose

[VirtuGuy]

For 1.21, every folder named "functions" needs to be renamed to "function". The pack format also needs to be 48.

[limeslyx-z]

Why does this man only have 4.5k subscribers, the brilliance of his tutorials is too great to be concealed

[liorschifrin]

Bro wtf this is the best out together video I’ve ever seen, and super useful. You deserve so many more subs. Keep up the awesome work! New favorite command yter

[brutexx]

You are such a fun and educational watch. Best youtuber when it comes to commands, never found anyone better.

[Whatismypurpose]

Thanks for the datapack tutorial! definitely a fun way of teaching ppl how to make datapacks!!!

[CodeCreature]

Love it! I'm taking this and attempting to recreate the Hermitcraft moon event in a datapack. I finally got most of it done in command blocks, so hopefully it translates well 😅

[shoutingrex]
