Ever wondered ‘where to put datapacks in Minecraft’? You’re in the right place. This simple guide will tell you exactly where those handy little packs need to go to enhance your Minecraft fun.

So, you’ve downloaded a datapack, and now you’re scratching your head, thinking where does this thing even go? Let’s dive right into the heart of the matter.

Quick Answer: Where Do Datapacks Go in Minecraft?

To use a datapack in Minecraft, you need to place it in the ‘datapacks’ folder of your world. Easy, right? But let’s break it down a bit more.

First, make sure Minecraft is closed. Then, navigate to the ‘.minecraft’ folder on your computer. This is usually in your ‘AppData/Roaming’ folder on Windows or ‘Library/Application Support’ on Mac. Inside ‘.minecraft’, find the ‘saves’ folder, and then look for the folder named after the world you want to add the datapack to. Now just drop your datapack into the ‘datapacks’ folder there. If there’s no ‘datapacks’ folder, don’t worry! Just create one and place your pack inside.
