While we do our best to prevent damage to our files, it is possible that under rare, unforeseeable circumstances files may become corrupted. We cannot be held responsible when this happens.

Please back up your important working data at all times. This is very important even if you are not using the MC Datapack Utility.

How to Install

The MC Datapack Utility can be installed from the VSCode Marketplace

Another way is to press Ctrl + P on VSCode and execute ext install chencmd.mc-datapack-utility.

Features

Creating a datapack template

Want to make the creation of a datapack easier?

Press Alt + Shift + D -> Alt + Shift + T. This feature makes creating a Datapack easy by simply answering a few questions in a flow.

You can also create your own datapack template from config.

Copy resourcePath

Want to get the resourcePath of a file easily?

Right-click on the file you want to get in Explorer and use Copy ResourcePath.

Quick file creation

Is it too much trouble to write a .mcfunction or .json file every time?

Right-click on the folder of the directory you want to create and use the Create datapack file. This feature allows you to create a file by just typing in the file name and automatically completing the extension.

You can also set the default file contents for each file type from config. You can create a file with the contents described by describing it.

Batch input of multiple lines

Having trouble describing multiple lines with some regularity?

Press Alt + Shift + D -> Alt + Shift + M. This function allows you to generate multiple lines at the cursor position by simply answering a few questions.

Depending on your choice, the method of replacing the %r in the first question will change. Here are the types

Strings

Replace %r with any string. The input string is interpreted line by line and replaced.

Note that this substitution method behaves differently depending on the number of cursors.

Datapack tag

Replace %r with the data pack tag values.

Note that this substitution method behaves differently depending on the number of cursors.

Consecutive values

Replace %r with a constant, continuous value.

Note: If the Length to pad the value at the beginning is -1, no prefill is performed.

Expression

Replace %r with the value calculated from the expression. Math.min(<a>,<b>), Math.floor(<a>), etc. are available.

Note: If the Length to pad the value at the beginning is -1, no prefill is performed.

Converting formulas to score operation

Too much trouble creating a formula in the scoreboard players operation?

Press Alt + Shift + D -> Alt + Shift + S. If you have a selection, the selection is converted to a scoreboard players operation, if not, the expression is converted to a scoreboard players operation.

You can also use config to force the default Object and Prefix of the scoreholder and input method of the expression.

Recommendations

We recommend using Datapack Helper Plus when creating Datapack in VSCode.

This extension provides comprehensive support for Datapack and is very useful.
