⚠️ IMPORTANT
This datapack requires the corresponding Resource Pack to display textures correctly. Without it, items will appear as default objects or have broken textures.
🛠️ Installation
Datapack - Place the .zip file into your world/datapacks folder. - Updating: If you are installing a newer version, delete the old one first. - ⚠️ Note: I highly recommend creating a backup of your world before updating or deleting files.
Resource Pack - Place the .zip file into your resourcepacks folder. - Enable it in the in-game settings.
💡 Tip: If you are using the Modrinth App, the installation is handled automatically.
⚙️ Compatibility
This datapack is designed to be lightweight and should be compatible with almost any other pack. - Universal Support: Should work seamlessly with the vast majority of datapacks and mods. - Potential Conflict: Issues may arise with other packs that also modify the Warden's loot table. - Load Order: If you use multiple packs that modify the Warden’s loot, ensure this pack is prioritized (placed at the top) to see its specific drops.
📝 Behind the Scenes
- This is a newer version of a datapack I made for a private Minecraft server (originally developed between late 2024 and 2025 for versions 1.21.3–4). I have now reworked it for newer Minecraft versions.
🎨 About the Textures
To keep the Vanilla feel, the armor textures are based on original Minecraft assets. I either used the existing block/item/entity .png files or modified the colors of the standard Iron/Diamond Armor to match the new themes/materials.
