This is a fork of a fork made for datapack creators to be able to list their datapacks as plugins on Modrinth.
The project I drew from

Datapack Importer

Datapack Importer automatically copies datapacks from your server's plugins/ folder into the world's datapacks/ folder on startup. This plugin is intended to allow datapack creators to distribute their datapacks as Modrinth plugins. DatapackLoader supports Folia, but does not make Folia-incompatible datapacks compatible with Folia.

The Goal

My goal is for datapack creators to be able to list their datapacks as plugins on Modrinth, with Datapack Importer as a dependency.

Plugin Installation

1. Download the plugin from latest releases.
2. Stop your server.
3. Put DatapackImporter-X.X.X.jar in your server's plugins/ folder.
4. Place your datapack .zip in the plugins/ folder.
5. Restart the server.

For Datapack Creators — Listing Your Datapack as a Plugin on Modrinth

You can list your datapack on Modrinth as a plugin by adding a plugin.yml to your datapack .zip. Modrinth requires this file to accept plugin uploads — the server will ignore it entirely, but Modrinth's validator will be satisfied.

1. Create a plugin.yml

Add a file named plugin.yml to the root of your datapack .zip with the following contents:

name: YourDatapackName
version: 1.0.0
main: com.example.YourDatapackName.Main
api-version: 1.21
description: A short description of your datapack.
author: YourName

Replace YourDatapackName and YourName accordingly. The main field won't be loaded by the server so it just needs to look valid.

2. Upload to Modrinth

• Create a new project on Modrinth and set the project type to Plugin.
• Upload your .zip as the version file.
• Add Datapack Importer as a required dependency so users know they need it.

That's it — users download your datapack zip, drop it in their plugins/ folder alongside Datapack Importer, and it gets installed automatically on the next server start.
