How to install Minecraft Data Packs

This datapack aims to recreate the classic pre 1.14 Minecraft villages.

The datapack comes with 4 different versions:
Classic Villages: Restores villages to their classic, pre-update design.
Classic Villages (Gravel Paths): Same as Classic Villages but with gravel paths instead of the newer path blocks.
Classic Villages (Workstations): Classic villages with additional workstations and features like camels in desert villages and beds in houses.
Classic Villages (Workstations and Gravel Paths): Combines both gravel paths and the added workstations/features of the previous version.

Known Issues:
Zombie villages generate vanilla villages.
All village houses are 1 block too far from the streets. (I didn't find a good way of fixing this) (again)
Houses will never spawn mirrored.

Heyyy. Could you please fix the house distancing bug? Houses shouldn't be 1 block further from the grass path

It works for 26.1.x. Idk if this bug is exclusive to these versions. If it is then the datapack works almost perfectly

This is a bug with the data pack in general. I have obsessed over trying to fix it, but nothing I've tried ever ended up working.
One time I was really close to fixing it, but it didn't work everywhere (version 1.4 of the data pack), so I reverted it next update. This is because the data pack needs to generate villages in a totally different way than the game back in the day. I plan to continue updating the pack to work on future Minecraft versions and if Mojang ever adds a way to fix it, I will.

Question? Is it possible to make these villages NOT replace actual villages? I tried to modify it but I don't know exactly what to do

Is there a way to make it work with modern beta mod (forge 1.20.1) ?

If it is no way, can we have compatibility please ?

People have already asked me this and as far as I know, not even some of the old versions work for 1.20.1. I can point you towards the "moderner beta" mod, which also exists for newer versions, but only on NeoForge or Fabric it seems.

Also cool pfp /)
