About this video: If you want to know how to download and install datapacks on a Minecraft server, this is the video for you. Our goal is to help you learn how to add data packs to a Minecraft server no matter what the Minecraft version or data pack your are installing. This will work with any Minecraft data packs that are sever compatible, so without anymore delay, here is how to get data packs on your Minecraft server!

First things first, you will need to download data packs for your Minecraft server. There are tons of different data packs out there, and there is a list in the description above where you can find our list of the best data packs for Minecraft. However, this tutorial will allow you to add any data pack to your Minecraft server.

There are some things you will need to check before adding a data pack to a Minecraft server though. Specifically, you will need to make sure that the datapack is for the same version of Minecraft as the server. If it isn’t, the datapack won’t work once it is installed on your Minecraft server. Also, it is worth noting that some data packs simply aren’t server-compatible. In those cases, the data pack won’t work on the server no matter what.

After you have your data packs downloaded, you will need to make sure that you have the correct files ready to add to the server. Some datapacks will need to be unzipped before they are installed. Usually, in these cases, you will need to extra the datapack. Doing so will give you a folder with additional .zip files that don’t need to be extracted as they will be name of the individual datapacks you downloaded.

With your data packs downloaded, you will want to stop your server if you haven’t already before installing the data packs on the server.

After your server is stopped, open up your many server directory. Here, you will have a “world” folder. Open this folder, and you will see a “datapacks” folder. Open that folder. This is where you will add all of the datapacks that you want to install on your server. Any data pack that you want to add to your Minecraft server will go into the “datapacks” folder.

Once you have added your datapacks to this folder, start your server. You may need to run the /reload command from the server’s console to activate your datapacks after the server has started.

Now, you will be able to test the datapacks on the server, and they should be working. If not, confirm that they are server-compatible. This can sometimes be listed on the datapack’s download page as well as make sure that the data pack is for the same version of Minecraft as your server.
