The Minecraft, but MEGAPACK is the "Minecraft, but" pack to end them all!
The Megapack contains 70+ gameplay modifiers all in one data pack
and an intuitive menu to configure the data pack however you want!
Version: 1.19.4+. If you want support for previous versions, let me know! (1.19.4 is just too good!)

Have a suggestion? Found a bug or thought of a cool modifier idea? Let me know!

Browsing through PlanetMinecraft's data pack page, you will quickly notice the sheer amount of "Minecraft, but" data packs that flood it. You might think all these data packs sound fun. After playing with one, you might want to use several. What if you used 5, 10, 15, 20 different "Minecraft, but" data packs? You'll quickly find yourself annoyed with having to manually type out /datapack disable "file/...". You will also find it annoying that very few of them are customizable! For the data packs that are customizable, you will often forget how you were supposed to customize them in the first place! Managing several of these data packs quickly turns into a nightmare.

The Minecraft, but MEGAPACK aims to solve this problem by providing one centralized menu to manage all your gameplay modifiers. Gone are the days of typing /datapack! Gone are the days of having to revisit that PlanetMinecraft page again and again to remind yourself how to configure it! Gone are the days of having to find that inconveniently placed .txt file hidden away in the archived data pack file! Gone are the days of a chat flooded by 50 different "Minecraft, but" data packs every time you reload.

⚙️ Modifiers

The Megapack contains 70+ gameplay modifiers, which are essentially "Minecraft, but" scenarios ranging from "Minecraft, but TNT rains from the sky" to "Minecraft, but items randomly fall out of your inventory".

I aim to make every modifier as customizable as possible. For example, in the "TNT rains from the sky" modifier, you can customize the rate at which the TNT spawns, toggle whether the TNT griefs (automatically set to the mobGriefing gamerule value), and if the TNT spawns from the sky and/or a few blocks above players.

If you want to reset the configuration for a modifier back to the defaults, each configuration option has a reset button that looks like [⟲].

Can't decide what to configure? Many modifiers respect global Difficulty and automatically change their configuration values to scale with the Global Difficulty, which automatically is set to the world difficulty with Difficulty Sync. However, you can input a custom global Difficulty which doesn't match the world difficulty. You can even configure the difficulty on a per-modifier basis, using each modifier's Local Difficulty -- which is set to the Global Difficulty by default.

Want to disable a modifier or all modifiers for a certain player? In the config menu of each modifier, you will find an option to blacklist a certain player from that modifier. Alternatively, you can blacklist a player from all modifiers in the main config menu. Players in the spectator gamemode are always blacklisted from almost all modifiers.

By default, manual mode is enabled. Manual mode allows you to manually enable or disable modifiers -- the way the pack was meant to be. However, if you're feeling indecisive, you can enable Random Mode which randomly selects modifiers after a certain interval (default 5 minutes). Feeling like a speedrunner? You can enable Speedrun Mode which enables modifiers over time, but doesn't disable them -- you'll start off with just one modifier which gradually increases. More time, more chaos. You can configure the mode in the Config menu page.

🗿Menu

🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿

The menu is the heart of the data pack -- the reason why it exists. The menu makes "Minecraft, but" easy.

To open the menu, either run the following command:
/function abchc:menuor rename a nether star "Chaos Menu" and right click it:

Pages

Main Menu

The main menu provides a button to enable or disable the data pack, stopping any modifiers. Use this if you're too lazy to use /datapack or you need to stop the data pack quick! If you accidentally turn the explosion modifiers up a bit too much or you're dying constantly, remember the main toggle button! The main menu also links to the other pages and, at the bottom, shows some quick information -- like how many modifiers are active.

Information Page

The information page provides quick info about the data pack and a link to this internet page.

Modifiers Page

The modifiers page shows a list of modifier categories:

Challenges, modifiers which involve restricting or increasing the difficulty of game mechanics -- stuff which mainly makes the game more challenging.
Explosions, everything involving TNT or creepers!
Chaos, basically everything laggy. Lightning everywhere, anvils everywhere, fire everywhere -- you get the picture.
Mechanic, like Challenges, but only for core modifiers which restrict core game mechanics like jumping and walking.
Teleporting, self explanatory.
Effects, anything which involves giving potion effects.
Mobs, anything which changes mobs.
Miscellaneous, stuff which doesn't fit well in any other category.

Each category page shows a list of modifiers with toggle buttons, which enable or disable a modifier if Manual Mode is enabled OR blacklist a modifier if Random or Speedrun Mode is enabled; and config buttons, which link to the modifier's config page.

No, I am not listing every single modifier. That would take forever. There's over seventy of them. Cope, seethe, mald. Download the data pack if you're so interested!

Config Page

The Main Config page allows you to configure global config options:

Global Difficulty, how hard modifiers should be by default, defaulted to the world difficulty.
Mode, how modifiers should be selected. Manual Mode allows you to manually enable or disable modifiers. Random Mode randomly selects modifiers after a configurable interval. Speedrun Mode randomly enables modifiers over time but doesn't disable them. Random and Speedrun mode will not select blacklisted modifiers.
Particles, how much particles to display. Default is for people with competent computers. Minimal is for people with potato PCs.
Griefing, whether modifiers should destroy terrain or not -- mostly for explosions. Does not work for modifiers which are designed to destroy terrain like The world desintegrates and Chunks randomly disappear!

TL;DR rename a nether star to "Chaos Menu" to open the menu to configure the data pack and toggle or configure modifiers. Enjoy!

After one year of working on this data pack, I've been helped by so many people. This massive undertaking would not be possible without the wonderful command community that's helped me every step of the way.

I don't even get why the Minecraft But's are popular.
I get the feeling that you also hate them lol, so I actually hope this pack is the one pack to end them all.

"Minecraft but" packs are a plague that have killed a lot of Datapack potential.
