This is a fork of a fork made for datapack creators to be able to list their datapacks as plugins on Modrinth.
\nThe project I drew from<\/p>\n
# Datapack Importer
\nDatapack Importer automatically copies datapacks from your server’s `plugins\/` folder into the world’s `datapacks\/` folder on startup. This plugin is intended to allow datapack creators to distribute their datapacks as Modrinth plugins. DatapackLoader supports Folia, but does not make Folia-incompatible datapacks compatible with Folia.<\/p>\n
## The Goal
\nMy goal is for datapack creators to be able to list their datapacks as plugins on Modrinth, with Datapack Importer as a dependency.<\/p>\n
## Plugin Installation
\n1. Download the plugin from latest releases.
\n2. Stop your server.
\n3. Put `DatapackImporter-X.X.X.jar` in your server’s `plugins\/` folder.
\n4. Place your datapack `.zip` in the `plugins\/` folder.
\n5. Restart the server.<\/p>\n
## For Datapack Creators \u2014 Listing Your Datapack as a Plugin on Modrinth<\/p>\n
You can list your datapack on Modrinth as a plugin by adding a `plugin.yml` to your datapack `.zip`. Modrinth requires this file to accept plugin uploads \u2014 the server will ignore it entirely, but Modrinth’s validator will be satisfied.<\/p>\n
### 1. Create a `plugin.yml`
\nAdd a file named `plugin.yml` to the **root** of your datapack `.zip` with the following contents:<\/p>\n
“`yaml
\nname: YourDatapackName
\nversion: 1.0.0
\nmain: com.example.YourDatapackName.Main
\napi-version: 1.21
\ndescription: A short description of your datapack.
\nauthor: YourName
\n“`<\/p>\n
Replace `YourDatapackName` and `YourName` accordingly. The `main` field won’t be loaded by the server so it just needs to look valid.<\/p>\n
### 2. Upload to Modrinth
\n– Create a new project on Modrinth and set the project type to **Plugin**.
\n– Upload your `.zip` as the version file.
\n– Add **Datapack Importer** as a required dependency so users know they need it.<\/p>\n
That’s it \u2014 users download your datapack zip, drop it in their `plugins\/` folder alongside Datapack Importer, and it gets installed automatically on the next server start.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
