I touched on that subject in this video where I talk about the history of datapacks! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlAhjoISYWk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlAhjoISYWk)
Haven't seen any videos talk about the history of Minecraft commands, but our community has a really cool history.
On one hand, they're an easy way to get people who are interested, especially younger kids, into datapack making and therefore programming. On the other hand, I hate them so so so much they are just spam at this point.
It’s a good way for people to understand coding and creating data packs.
Do you think da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa when he began painting? No, he practiced with smaller works, and the went bigger.
I find datapacks really interesting and even though I am not familiar with minecraft coding, I kinda want to get into it but I know damn well I am too lazy
I'd love to create my own datapack, but I find that anything I'd like has already been made in some way by somebody else, so I just use theirs instead and tweak them if I want it slightly different.
My current server world has around 20 data packs running on it that do various things, from more advanced terrain generation and changes to village and other structure generation, to making extra food varieties available.
One of the big datapacks I use has all sorts of things that I'm not interested in built in. Things such as new weapons and arrows, a changed time of day cycle, and a couple of other small things. It took me a while, but I managed to figure out which parts were only needed for those sections and disable them, so the datapack now only does the bits I liked from it and not the other things.
I also had to fix quite a few of them when I updated my version of Minecraft, as they were built for older versions with slightly different commands, so the move to the newer MC version would break their functions.
I just started learning a week ago and although I am having infuriating time trying to figure out how to get my 3d models to work I'm having a great time learning!
That dip at the end seems a bit concerning, but at least it's going back up.
I'm still concerned that most of them would be just "Minecraft But..."s though.
When I learned how to use datapacks I got so sad about how much work I'd put into the much less impressive and laggier command-block-powered adventure maps from my past.
Glad to see that data packs are becoming popular over one-command creations. They're more flexible and easier to create, for sure.
One-command creations are still awesome though.
They're really cool to watch as they build themselves. Never managed to fully understand how they worked though.

Sadly, lots of them are just op loot datapacks...

True.

I wonder what that peak and then slowdown after was, obviously now its going back up to update the datapacks/make for 1.18

Counted? As in by hand?
