Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.3–26.1.2+ | Multiplayer-Safe | Pure Datapack

---

Project Summary

dataLib is a utility library developed as a pure datapack for Minecraft Java Edition 1.20.3–26.1+. Its Fabric mod counterpart, dataLib-Fabric, is still under active development, while this repository is being archived.

Technical Status

Feature	Value
Latest version	v5.1.1
Main pack_format	101 (26.1.x)
Supported range	pack_format 26–400000 (1.20.3–26.1.2+)
Overlay count	6 (1_20_3, 1_20_5, _pre_1_21_4, compat_1_21_4, 1_21_5, 1_21_6, 26_1)
Dependencies	Lantern Load, StringLib (bundled)

Why It Was Archived

• The Fabric mod version, dataLib-Fabric, provides the same functionality with a more powerful API.
• Maintaining the datapack version in a pure mcfunction environment requires significantly higher maintenance effort compared to the Fabric mod version.
• Considering the breaking changes introduced in 26.1.2+ (enable-command-blocks was moved to the command_blocks_work gamerule) and the likelihood of further compatibility breaks in future versions, no active update plan is currently intended.

🛡️ This is a Minecraft Datapack — it contains no executables or scripts outside of .mcfunction files. Some antivirus software may flag .mcfunction files as suspicious due to macro-like syntax. This is a false positive. The pack has been scanned on VirusTotal and returned clean. Only download from this official repository. Do not trust redistributed or repackaged versions from third-party sources.
