Java data pack listed for Minecraft 1.20–24.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
At the start of 2026 Mojang as release their first snapshot of the year. 26.1 Snapshot release 1. This snapshot has introduced a whole lot of new baby mob varients and a brand new nametag recipe. I have made this recipe into a datapack so you can have the recipe before it even comes out!
