Proper Rules List for Servers
I don't know my version or loader
Description
So if you have a server that needs a proper rules and information list, you are right here. Players can easily open the rules list by typing /trigger rules on the chat.
How to setup (please read)
Step 1: Download the pack in the right version.
Step 2: Extract the pack in a folder. (The datapack is recommended because it is not easy to extract a mod.)
Step 3: Open the folder and go to /data/ruleslist/function if you are in version 1.21+ or /data/ruleslist/functions if you are in version 1.16-1.20.6 and open rules.mcfunction
Step 4: Create a raw JSON text (Not a /tellraw command, a raw JSON text) with a tool like Gamergeeks.net, copy and paste it in the .mcfunction file, directly next to the text in the file.
Step 5: Compress the data folder and pack.mcmeta file in the pack as a ZIP file and put it in your world's datapacks folder.
Some Info
- You can get help from my Discord Server.
- I recommend you the datapack instead of the mod because it's easier to configure, you will be able to install it on vanilla servers or plugin servers and the mod can have problems.
- If you for example installed 1.21.4 version of the pack and it says it is not compatible, don't trust that message. You installed the right one.
