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.
