About
Datapack Jam is a monthly event! If you missed or enjoyed this one, then you can participate in Datapack Jam 9 - the dates will be revealed sometime at the end of this jam!

Welcome to the 8th Datapack Jam! #DatapackJam

Datapack Jam is a monthly event where participants are challenged to make a datapack in 7 days surrounding a theme. We have been hosting our jams using the new PMC Jams feature, and it is going brilliantly! This time, we’re hoping to get more people to participate in the jam. Share this with your friends!

If you’re interested, please hit the Join button on this page. It’s pretty much the same as “subscribing” to the jam. You’ll get updates whenever we post cool stuff! (You won’t have to enter if you join. It’s just so you can get updated on the cool stuff happening!)

Theme: Unusual Magic!

How does this work?

You have one week to create a datapack, starting on the 8th of April. A countdown to the start can be seen below this post. Around that time, the theme will be revealed and you can start making your datapacks! Then, enter it into the jam using the button by the countdown.

How are packs judged/do we get prizes?

Yes! You will get trophies. You get a participation trophy if you enter the jam, and if you are first/second/third, you also get a special trophy. We usually don't have prizes other than trophies but that doesn't mean that exceptions aren't possible! The winner of this Jam will win a 2 Month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate! These go directly into your trophy case for all to see! Your packs are judged on 4 criteria - technicality, creativity, effect, and polished-ness. Results are revealed and trophies are given 7 days after the deadline.

Rules and guidelines

We've got some pretty simple rules to follow, make sure to read and remember these otherwise your content may be disqualified.

Rules — Click to expand
1. Use your work and ideas. Online tools are allowed, but make sure to credit them.
2. Stick to the theme. You can get as creative as possible, but your datapack must be based on the theme.
3. Do not intentionally copy others. Use your ideas, you can do it!
4. Datapack must be made within the time given. Do not use old datapacks.
5. You can work in teams of 3. You can also go solo if you can’t find a friend.
6. Stick to Planet Minecraft’s rules. Any datapack that goes against the PMC rules will be disqualified from this or future events and removed from PMC.

Tips and tricks — Click to expand
- Stay simple. Don't overestimate what you can create in a week. In many cases, simplicity is better than complexity.
- Resource packs are encouraged. They add an extra layer of effect to your pack!
- Work in teams. Teamwork makes the dream work!
- Don't let lack of experience put you off. The jams are meant for everyone regardless of skill level!
- Impress us! Make your content stand out, then more people will come across it and vote :D

Good luck!

We can't wait to see what you create. If you're interested in following the progress of this jam, please don't hesitate to click the Join button
