\n 1 Install the datapack into the world folder you want to use this library datapack in.
\n(NOTE FOR DEVELOPERS: While you can do this (refer to the lisence) I do ask that you don’t include the library in your datapack files, but a link to it in the description would be ok if you do include the files. Modrinth has a dependancy system and I ask that you use that instead. Thankyou!)
\n 2 In your datapack add a namespace named `events`
\n 3 In the events namespace add this folder structure `tags\/function`
\n 4 In the newly created function folder add `
\n 5 In this file copy and paste or type the following
\n“`
\n{
\n “replace”:false,
\n “values”:[<\/p>\n
\n}
\n“`
\n 6 In the `values` field in that file put the names of the functions you want to run in double quotes, each one separated by a comma (it should be the same way as writing it in a \/function commad). EXAMPLE:
\n“`
\n{
\n “replace”:false,
\n “values”:[
\n “example:foo”,
\n “example:bar”
\n ]
\n}
\n“`
