DatapacksJava
Give me that research kit!
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.
This datapack adds a bundle that you get on spawning in the world, containing
- an iron sword
- an iron axe
- an iron pickaxe
- a spyglass
- 16 cooked beef
- a lantern
- 16 torches
- and a book and quil
It's nothing too special, but it enables you to directly go out and explore, like a real researcher. You will still need to get resources but with iron gear that won't take too long.
If you would like to use this in a modpack feel free, but refer to this page. (so that they knnow from who they got that nice bundle😉)
