Set to release later today (July 22, 2024 @ 6 PM GMT-6), I've finally finished the Definitive Edition of my first datapack, originally named Cornucopia, then VOAT - FRUIT, now, A Lillie Bit of Fruit, for 1.21+.

Have you ever wished that oak trees in swamps would drop something different from apples? Do you like fruit? Collecting shit? This is the datapack for you! In every biome in which you find leaves and vines, they will now drop different fruit depending on said biome. Leaves that generate within Trial Chambers may also bear their own unique fruits.

There are 48 new fruit to collect. To find them, simply head out into the world and break some leaves! If a tree naturally generates in a biome, you can obtain its fruit even from similar trees you yourself planted. For instance, Spruce Trees don't generate in Forests, so they won't drop anything there! If you go to a Taiga, however...

There's also 1 fruit per leaf type for the Nether and End dimensions! Good luck collecting them all!

As a datapack, this is, of course, vanilla minecraft, & can be set up easily on servers.

Cytus is a terrestrial, super-earth type planet found in the Tau Ceti system.

It has a sulfur rich atmosphere, which pools into large lakes & has traces of early animal life. It's become a popular location due to its 14 moons, which have been extensively mined for resources.

Though relatively safe to live on with breathable atmosphere, some regions see a deadly acid rain. Luckily the massive, sky reaching terrain offers helpful cover!

In Cytus' orbit, is a small space station which slowly grew over time, eventually becoming the central travelling hub for the whole system!

Disabling Specific Minecraft Mobs (in Java)

There was a great post about disabling spiders in Minecraft a few days ago and in the notes people kept asking about disabling other mobs too, so I thought I’d make my own post summing up at least some of the resources, starting with the easy ones:

Phantoms:

You can do this with a vanilla command! All you need to do is to enable cheats when you create your world and then run this:

/gamerule doInsomnia false

insomnia is the effect that triggers phantom spawns when you don’t sleep.

Warden:

Same as phantoms! You can use a command!

/gamerule doWardenSpawning false

Other Mobs:

Someone suggested the Bad Mobs mod at CurseForge. I haven’t tried this myself but it looks legit?

If you don’t want to use a mod, there’s the datapack option, and I’m gonna put a cut here because I’m just gonna teach you how to make the datapack yourself based on your own needs. (I promise you, this method is super easy, and you’ll feel so fancy after making your own datapack)

(Some already exist btw, try searching on Planet Minecraft first)

I’ll also include some extra tips at the end that you might wanna check out either way, even if you don’t want to use a datapack.

[Disclaimer: I’m not an expert, I might get things wrong. I have successfully made all these things that I’m describing here, though, so I hope I know enough.]

@chu-likes-minecraft made a handy no spiders datapack which can easily be edited to apply to other mobs. The datapack is on Planet Minecraft (I would link to it but sometimes posts with links don’t show up in tags. It’s very easy to find, though, just search for “no spiders” and you should find a datapack from a user called Chu03.)

You can just download the datapack, unpack it, then go down the folders like so: data > ns > functions and open the file named “tick“.

It should look like this:

Look up the ID of the mob(s) that you want to get rid of. You can find this info on the Minecraft wiki. Usually it’s pretty obvious but it doesn’t hurt to check.

If it’s just a single specific type of mob that has no other variants, you can delete all the code in the file and replace it with this:

execute as @a at @s if entity @e[type=MOB_ID_HERE,distance=0..50] run tp @e[type=MOB_ID_HERE] 0 -65 0

Replace “MOB_ID_HERE” with the ID of the mob you want to remove! Bolding is just for emphasis obviously. Note that I changed “tag“ to “type“.

(The reason why this is so much simpler is because you don’t need a tag when you’re only targetting one type of mob, you can just target it directly. But if you want to target multiple mobs, using a tag is more efficient)

If there are multiple variants of the mob you don’t like or if you want to target multiple kinds of mobs, you can use Chu’s original spider code as is and just replace the spider and cave spider with your mobs, and come up with a new collective tag for those mobs. Let’s say you wanna get rid of endermites and silverfish because you don’t like creepy crawlies; this should work:

tag @e[type=endermite] add creepy_crawlies tag @e[type=silverfish] add creepy_crawlies execute as @a at @s if entity @e[tag=creepy_crawlies,distance=0..50] run tp @e[tag=creepy_crawlies] 0 -65 0

Wanna also get rid of bees? Just add bees to the “creepy_crawlies” tag like this:

tag @e[type=endermite] add creepy_crawlies tag @e[type=silverfish] add creepy_crawlies tag @e[type=bee] add creepy_crawlies execute as @a at @s if entity @e[tag=creepy_crawlies,distance=0..50] run tp @e[tag=creepy_crawlies] 0 -65 0

I’m pretty sure you can use any wording that isn’t an already existing tag in Minecraft? (Although sometimes you might actually want to just use the existing tag instead, just make sure you know what it includes.)

Once you’re ready, just save the file. You don’t have to worry about any of the other files in the pack, just leave them the way they are. Go back up the folders until you get to the level that has the “data“ folder and the “pack“ file and then just repack the pack into a .zip and give it a new name. Make sure you’re packing the “data“ folder and the “pack“ file, not a folder above them. If you unpacked the original datapack into a folder, don’t include that folder in your pack.

Image to clarify:

(You don’t have to use 7-Zip, any equivalent program is fine. #NotSponsored)

Your datapack is now ready. I recommend testing it in a test world first to make sure it works. You can just give yourself the spawn egg in creative and try spawning the mobs and if the pack is working they should immediately disappear as you spawn them in.

If they don’t, try the command /reload. If it still doesn’t work, save and quit to title, then open the world again. If it still doesn’t work, check the pack itself to see if you did everything correctly. Compare to the original no spiders pack to see if you accidentally did something differently.

BONUS: you can also edit the “pack“ file to include your own name in the credits along with Chu’s, but this is not necessary.

Other packs that have already been made and can be found on Planet Minecraft: no zombies, no drowned, no skeletons, no wither skeletons.

Also yes, I did actually make the no endermites/silverfish one because I had to double check that the code I pasted here actually worked so I uploaded that on Planet Minecraft too.

Some extra tips:

If you remove spiders, I recommend adding a custom crafting datapack that allows you to turn wool into string. You can download one from Vanilla Tweaks for example. vanillatweaks (dot) net -> crafting tweaks.

There are also websites that allow you to make your own custom crafting datapacks. One that I’ve used and that is up to date as of version 1.18 is thedestruc7i0n (dot) ca (choose the “crafting” button)

With custom crafting packs you can add your own preferred way to get the resources that you’re missing out on. (This is also handy for people who just don’t want to murder a specific kind of mob, like if you really love cows and don’t wanna kill them you can make a custom recipe for leather. Although in that specific case, Vanilla Tweaks already has a datapack for smelting rotten flesh into leather which I recommend.)

Vanilla Tweaks also has a custom villager pack under “datapacks“ which allows you to spawn in a custom villager to trade with, who you can have selling the items you need.

Another option is to edit loot tables to get that drop in some other way. A tool I’ve used for this before is at amaury (dot) carrade (dot) eu / minecraft / loot_tables (this one is a bit complicated but it’s useful! Just take your time figuring it out.)

Was testing out two different ‘Queen Bee’ datapacks in Vanilla Minecraft to spice up my realm. One seemed to work well, adding a sortof Queen Bee miniboss who, entertainingly, is also able to be leashed despite being aggressive, and the other Datapack adds

Well...

God’s Mistake.

Has anyone noticed datapacks not working in 1.15? They corrupted one of my worlds despite using the same ones before the update came, and currently, even after reinstalling the entire game, they don’t function at all, and also broke the advancements/achievements GUI. Anyone else had the same problems? Anyone have a solution, if they have had this problem?

[silvernevermind]

every wanted to be able to play minecraft exclusively in peaceful, and get all the things you couldn’t get before (bones, blaze rods, nether stars)? then i have the solution for you!

this pack allows you to craft all previously unobtainable items in peaceful mode via crafting!

to use, select the peaceful world, click “edit”, then go to world folder, and drop the folder above into the datapacks file!

My fishing datapack, A Lillie Bit of Fish, formerly "VOAT - FISH", has been released for 1.21! You can download it here!

For those who are unfamiliar, this pack changes fishing so that depending on the biome, weather, and time, you catch different fish!

With 1.21, I've even given every fish a combination of eat-time, saturation, and hunger restoration based on their size and rarity, as well as custom stack sizes for the different classes of sizing! Shrimp, for instance, can be eaten very quickly, are not very nutritious, but stack up to 96!

You can also now eat the swordfish / paddlefish / etc, and still use them as weapons.

If you're a fan of Terraria or Stardew Valley's variety, this pack supplants both of them in fish count, so you should be in for a fun time.

Happy fishin'!
